PREEEEEEEDICTIONS just for craziness

EAST

* Tampa over Columbus in 7 which makes everyone in Ohio think they have a chance to keep Panarin, Bob and Duchene because "we only lost because we went against the best team in 20 years"

* Boston over Toronto in 5 which causes Toronto to erupt with calls for the firing of many and maybe puts Boy Wonder on the hot seat

* Washington over Carolina in 7 and everyone calls Washington villains for killing the fun-time story of the Storm Surge-loving Panthers

* Pittsburgh over NY Islanders in 6 which leads Long Island fans grumbling about not getting respect and they would have made it to round 2 if they didn't have to deal with such a veteran team

WEST

* Colorado over Calgary in 7 in a series where no one scores less than 4 goals per game

* San Jose over Vegas in 7 in a brutally awesome series that sees EK net the game-winner which makes all of San Jose think he's re-signing with them

* Nashville over Dallas in 6 in which the two games Dallas wins they win in a blow out fashion while all of Nashville's wins are super close or in OT which makes their fans hate their team and makes Dallas believe "next year is the year"

* St. Louis over Winnipeg in 6 in which Laine scores 0 goals and their fanbase grumbles that maybe they shouldn't re-sign him

------

round 2:

* Tampa over Boston in 6 - four of the games go to OT, Tampa really gets banged up
* Pittsburgh over Washington in 7 - everyone hates everything because Crosby looks like the golden goose again

* Nashville over Colorado (i think that's what the match-up would be) in 5 - Nashville looks like the team we all thought they would be
* San Jose over St. Louis in 7 - EK goes missing in the series, which makes their fans feel they don't need EK to win!

-----

Conference Finals Round:

* Pittsburgh over Tampa in 6 - the wet-fart of the playoffs, the Penguins upset the tired / banged up Lightning
* Nashville over San Jose in 7 - Sharks score at least 4+ goals in all of their wins because Jones, but give up 5+ in at least 4 games which makes all their fans rage quit

-------

SCF

* Nashville over Pittsburgh in 7 - a rematch from 2 years ago that no one saw coming. numerous injuries ensue after the win at home when the catfish concuss several fans and players

 

No matter how shitty Laine is I still hope he gets 8x8.

 

2nd rd matchups in the west would actually be NSH-STL and SJ-COL. Everything else is absolutely perfect in my biased opinion, although a run like that would certainly kill me.

 

Yeeeeeeah, the jackets don’t stand a chance.

 

Tampa already cheap shotting dudes

 

Lets goooooooooooooooooooooo

 

What’s crazier than us taking the Caps to 7 games is the fact that we name change I apparently missed

 

Hell of a start Murray

I’m not optimistic about this challenge either

Edit) that’s definitely off sides but taking way too long

 

This aged well

 

Got damn Tampa

 

Just pull Murray now the dude is shook

 

Sweet christ. They've got a local band playing in the arena during the intermission and they opened with Dont Stop Believin. What's worse is the singer just changed the words to "born and raised in Tampa Bay" so that's how I'm being tortured.

Thank god I brought headphones so I can drown out that awfulness with the new Pup.

 

Our fans are the worst guaranteed.

 

future Devil(s) Eberle and Nelson

 

Columbus really traded everything just to have this happen

Hate to see it

 

You’re an alright guy though

 

Laine is dialed in for today’s game lol.

 

post-season hockey is so enjoyable, love this time of year

 

DIALED IN

 

Holy fuck he just scored.

 

Good luck with your apartment hell sounds terrible

 

Aww boooo

 

Make Sibling Rivalry the NBC playoff theme song

 

Should've dumped it to cernak
