Lots of surprises.. I'll post my 2nd round picks tomorrow.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:First playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991!!
Thanks for the the double jinx Vic!!![quoted image]
He seems to have disappeared
Quoted from vicjw66:And that’s why the hockey gods have spited all of Canada. Apparently they thought it was chickenshit.
vicjw66 Soooo... does this mean the hockey Gods are on Canada's side again? Or simply that they are against LA and Dallas. It's confusing is all. Looking for clarification.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Well my bracket is done. Lol

I see Val and Bacon are in the hunt!

Well done Hwy and Val!
Malkin finished first round 32nd in points for which 9 of those 31 players had fewer GP. He was tied for 4th in points on the pens team with none other then Jeff Carter.
Basically malkin is getting 6 mill extra to put up Carter like numbers in the playoffs. Regular season doesn’t fair much better but Carter had more GP then Geno.

So with the BoA this guarantees a Canadian team making it to the semis!
Still shaking my head at the loss!!! Not speaking if the Pens as I expected that, but the Leafs

I really thought the pens and leafs would win those series as dark horses. I even said in 7 games for both.
If they both won my bracket would be bitchin! But alas....
One Canadian team is making it to the western conference finals guaranteed! The BoA is gonna be a slobberknocker!!

Yeah I mean we joke about a jinx but starting to believe in them.

Bacon only specializes in single team jinxes.
The double jinxes are exclusive to Vic.
Woulda been nice to see Law get his reverse jinx last night though.
A near trifecta!
Quoted from wolverinetuner:So no one’s going out on a limb and saying it’ll be an improbable Cup threepeat?
I mean, I’d be up for another boat parade. My liver is another thing all together…
Quoted from TheLaw:Oh man 3 cups in a row.. thats gonna put a hurting on.
I just want 1 before I die..guess lots of fans say that in all sports though

$ says it was a leafs fan!
Quoted from meSz:$ says it was a leafs fan!
Not sure but apparently Range Rover said it was custom made vehicle for Marner since he was a Leaf.
They say you should be on the lookout for a Range Rover with no cup holders.

No Doubt!! Going to be a good battle!

Be sure to wear your Toronto Jersey for entertainment! 
Watched Lightning/Panthers, and discovered two things- the refs were awful (the interference call was horrific) and the fans in Sunrise are DEAD. But really not surprised, most of them just started watching hockey 2 weeks ago.
Blues/Avs is everything I thought it would be, it just went into O.T... Can't believe they called the penalty on Schenn at the end, we'll see if it matters...
EDIT: Blues/Avs over now, what an amazing game by Binnington, too bad it ended in a loss for him (I have no favorites for this series).
Quoted from meSz:Watching the Blues is like watching the pens … rely on the goalie to win the game!!!
Or like Oettinger in game 7...
Quoted from Cobray:Be sure to wear your Toronto Jersey for entertainment!
No one in Tampa cares. Half the population are transplants from cold weather climates including New York, New England, and of course Canada. It’s the #3 real estate market in the US and the population is booming. It was growing fast but when Covid hit and people started working from home it went crazy.
That said it is a surprisingly rabid hockey town given the warm weather climate, even before the last couple of cups. I was surprised by how many rinks there are down here.
Quoted from Numskul:Avs are awesome! All other teams should be worried.
While I agree... STL looked to handle them pretty well... or at Least Binnington did!! lol
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:While I agree... STL looked to handle them pretty well... or at Least Binnington did!! lol
Avs outplayed the blues for the most part, and hit so much iron. That game could of been a blowout..
Quoted from hwyhed:Avs outplayed the blues for the most part, and hit so much iron. That game could of been a blowout..
You know Andy as an old Leaf fan...i just dont give a shit anymore I just want to see good hockey
And Leaf fans gobble up tickets that are really unaffordable every year since forever..embarrassing and future looks sketchy with Matthews contract extension looming
Quoted from luch:pay back for the cost of playoff tickets !
Mabey Trade Matthews?
Ask him outright: do you plan on leaving this is a business and you are rich beyond your dreams. If you are undecided you are gone. Don't think Mathews or McDavid will stay..hope I'm wrong on both fronts. How can he be undecided after next year?? Imagine the media freak out. Not worth it imo
In my playoff hockey pool, this year I went with two entries. Tampa vs Colorado final or Florida vs Colorado final. I'm a big Tampa fan, so I had to choose them, but that first series really could've gone either way. Hopefully Point can come back soon, we'll need him if we want to make a serious run at a third cup.
Honestly though Colorado is the team to be feared this year, and why I chose them to win their conference in both of my entries. They're just so good.
