new here but still going to join. haven't watched hockey at all this year so my bracket is going to be shit.

Good luck!

Haven't been paying close enough attention to why Calgary and Vancouver are playing this series. Is there some contractual obligation? Is it in case it impacts the draft? Personal stats for players?

Picked the Blues to go to win the cup because I am a homer and anything can happen in the playoffs, but yeah, the Avs are really freaking good.

I get that but what’s the point when it doesn’t amount to much of anything.

My bracket is fucked.

Yep. I’ve stopped picking the most logical or favorites and kind of just started picking my favorite teams as it seems that is often as good of a choice as trying to pick who I actually think will win. I knew having the Blues win the Stanley Cup with the Avs, Knights and/or Wild was an extreme long shot.

Blues got swept. What?

That’d be great. Or maybe Vegas will get a 5 minute major and give up 4 on the PK.

I have Toronto winning but want to see the Habs take it just for the comedy.

Holy shit can’t believe the Isles actually beat the Bruins. I correctly picked one.

I’m pulling for the Habs now, but it’s going to be a tough road for them.

Im rooting for the Habs or Isles. Doesn’t matter at this point.

I am listening to the Lightning radio broadcast. First time I've ever heard Phil Esposito call a game. It's really something...

He's only a couple minutes behind what is happening on the ice and needs a little bit of redirection.

He looks unbelievably broad. Same in this photo at this link: https://www.nhl.com/news/tampa-bay-lightning-andrei-vasilevskiy-wins-conn-smythe-trophy/c-325597644

However, in other photos he doesn't look to be oversized. Wonder if he put on about 25-50 lbs recently?
