Predators/Avalanche; 5 games Best team in the league vs worst team in the playoffs. Jets/Wild; 5 games Jets are on a roll and Wild are not. Knights/Kings; 6 games Similar records last 40ish games, LA with better record last 20ish games, LA has playoff experience, LA better suited for playoffs, LA won most recent meetings (boy will I look stupid when Vegas sweeps) Ducks/Sharks; 7 games Toss up. Picked Sharks purely because I think LA matches up better with them

Boy I can’t wait to hear about 2013 over and over again like this is some rematch when the Leafs will dress at max 6 dudes that were even there. I think Babcock scratching Johnsson for Leo is a big mistake and I hope Andy remembers it’s an even month and forgets his dogshit March. Also I hope one of Zaitsev or Polak gets some minor injury so I don’t have to watch them get ground to dust. Stretch Marx posted:I really hope the refs make a loving effort to call any penalties this year. I prefer having the odd bad call to a billion non ones. The second there’s an elimination game a ref is going to swallow their whistle so hard they choke and die on the ice.

Toronto needs to win in 5 to exorcise the it was 4-1 demons. It's just 5 guys from that team, right? Gardiner, JVR, Kadri, Bozak and Komarov.

The Leafs have six players who played in that series.* Five who played in game 1, since Gardiner didn't even draw into the lineup until Polak got hurt. Leafs were running a Fraser-Kostka pairing there. Phaneuf-Gunnarson Fraser-Kostka Franson-Liles We have come so far. *Nathan Horton lol

Which team winning the Cup do you think would be the most godawful narrative? Vegas Pittsburgh Toronto Winnipeg I think either Vegas for the "this is the biggest upset in the history of sports" hyperbole or Toronto because the fans and hockey media will make Cubs and Red Sox fans seem humble and reserved.

CommaToes posted:To be fair though, Winnipeg beating Toronto to the cup would be hilarious. That would rule, yes. The Toronto hype actually penetrates the American consciousness, where I feel like I could cheer for Winnipeg without being touched by the ambient smugness. The chatter around the Caps right now seems to be all about the goaltenders, which I guess is a refreshing change from the constant talk of curses? I guess we still have plenty of time for it to come around to that.

DJExile posted:https://twitter.com/nnstats/status/983073582703136770 Sullivan has them too disciplined now to let this become a gong show in that fashion. I could see a lot of high scoring games though. With the goaltending for both sides being bad and both sides having good offenses that part at least seems inveitable.
