I think Caps have a good shot at repeating. The loss of Kempny will be a big blow, so I will not be surprised if they do not win.

If they don't, I would say Tampa gets to the finals, and loses to the Blues. Blues are looking strong right now (as was mentioned earlier - monster second half).

Draft lottery coming shortly. I don't know a ton about either of the top two prospects but i would ecstatic to get either at the Kings. Is Huges something of a Kopitar player? And tell me of Kaapo. Is he similar to Teemu Selanne?

UncleWede · 04-09-2019, 01:37 PM

Is there a coach's lottery too? Because it seems the Kings have plenty of talent, they just don't play up to their potential.

Much like what was happening at ManU, infinitekidM2C ?

I dont know enough about NHL coaches but we better get a good one lol. We have some quality but we are just not quick enough for today's game and a lot of that is we have lots of aging veterans.

At United we have cleansed ourselves of Mourinho and i'm fully behind Ole. I think if we can get a high quality right wing (Jadon Sancho, Griezman, or even Lozano), a better holding mid and a right back (Wan-Bassaka) we can challenge for anything. Need a big summer though for that to happen.

NJD (and Taylor Hall specifically) win again!

Very odd...

It would have been funny had Colorado won the first overall pick. Still not bad for them though.

It's time for the PLAYOFFFFFFFFSSSS

Captain Blood · 04-10-2019, 12:10 PM

Stars game start late tonight. Time for Seguin and Benn to step up and prove they are among the best!

cotmfk · 04-11-2019, 07:32 AM

Interesting games last night (which I unfortunately did not have time to watch any).

I was not shocked to see TB up 3-0 after one period, was shocked to see them lose 4-3!

Looks like Pitts/NYI may be a tight series.

Anyone have a link to the latest Ryan Reaves dirty play?

ShopVac · 04-11-2019, 08:45 AM

Saw the fencing bout between him and Kane at the end of the game. Both got 10 minutes

Pens sucked ass...didnt deserve to win, but thought maybe they'd steal one...was not to be. At least they got the point for the OT tie.

Captain Blood · 04-11-2019, 10:15 AM

Stars looked real good in the 2nd and 3rd periods. And apparently they have nicknamed their rookie "Hero" Miro. I love how he acts when he scores....like he's done it before.

I was shocked they lost. Didn’t see the game tho, was working. Being up 3 nill after 1 I’m gonna say they got complacent. I’ve always liked Coach Tortorella, so I’m not surprised he got his guys fired up.

However, it’s one game. And should be a wake up call for th Bolts. They will win the series.

Yeah, I do not see Cbus getting their franchise's first playoff series win this year. But if Cbus can take it 7 long, excruciating games with a few OTs or multiple OT games thrown in, that'd be great, thanks.

UncleWede · 04-11-2019, 01:24 PM

Was that HIT Boyle made illegal? It was tough as hell but looked pretty clean.

Ralph335 · 04-12-2019, 11:24 AM

I can't believe NJD and NYR got the #1 and #2 draft picks. Hughes and Kakko coming into the Metro.

Fantastic.

sspade · 04-12-2019, 09:21 PM

SHOCKED...

That the Blue Jackets are up two nil on the Lightning.

Could this possibly be the biggest choke* in NHL history? I certainly hope not!

*Nearly a record breaking season and losing first round.

Not to give some perspective...but they were up 2-0 on Washington last year as well...washington went on to 4 straight. And we all know how their season ended.

Far from counting them out, just shocked.

I still have Tampa taking the East.

Agreed, worst start possible. But they are more then capable of going on a winning streak. They have definitely dug themselves a hole.

While at the same time, I think people could have called for a sweep in the TB Cbus series, but the other direction!

Wild

Ralph335 · 04-15-2019, 11:34 AM

Absolutely crazy.

If they do get swept, wow does that shake things up. Certainly opens up the East!
