WTF. We have a winning record against Vegas.

Also no way St. Louis beats Colorado.

Toronto over Montreal 4-1
Edmonton over Winnipeg 4-2
Vegas over Minnesota 4-2
Colorado over St. Louis 4-2
Hurricanes over Nashville 4-2
Florida over Tampa Bay 4-3
Boston over Washington 4-3

Florida over Tampa Bay 4-3

No way, don't forget about that cap circumvention. Hedman, Stamkos, and Kucherov all practicing full-contact this week.

[Mickey]

But otherwise I agree:

Toronto over Montreal 4-1
Edmonton over Winnipeg 4-2
Vegas over Minnesota 4-1
Colorado over St. Louis 4-1
Hurricanes over Nashville 4-2
Tampa over Florida 4-2
Boston over Washington 4-3
Pittsburgh over New York 4-2

Right now thinking Toronto, Tampa, Boston, and Vegas are your final four.

[Strat]

Wild will beat Vegas in 6.

Pin this post.

[Mickey]

I look forward to returning to this post and pointing out how wrong it was.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Crazy good Minnesota/Vegas game.

[Mickey]

Vegas over Minnesota 4-0

Wrong!

[elliseamos]

Crazy good Minnesota/Vegas game.

Yup, no sweep, but I'm still picking LV.

[elliseamos]

Vegas over Minnesota 4-0

Wrong!

yup.

[Strat]

Wild will win in 5.

jarry = murray 2.0

though i am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. he had a UBI that im thinking is shoulder/arm related and he doesnt have complete range of motion for a goalie. which i dunno, seems kind of important. with desmith out yesterday they had little choice


also is there anyone better with hand eye coordination that crosby? who the fuck with one hand (on his back hand none the less) deflects a shot to score a goal while a man is draped on them?

Yeah, I didn't think much of Pitt's options between the pipes to begin with. As for Crosby, if not for the constant whining, I might find a way to like him.

constant? does he really whine as much as marchand, ovie or others. i have watched plenty of games the past few years and this is just a tired argument that stemmed from the first few seasons

Florida/Tampa was *insane* last night, looking forward to the rest of this series.
