"Goalie Interference"

Lets all make fun of the KHL rigging calls with this one getting overruled from Toronto.

 
Yeah, this ought to be interesting I could see Florida winning out and the Rangers spoiling. The Rangers suck, but they'll probably light up the Flyers 6-1 or something. :thumbsup:
 
Avs are choking their way out of the playoffs too. St Louis plays a meaningless game against Chicago and then it's Blues @ Avs on Saturday for the final spot.
 
I'm pretty excited to see the Penguins in round 1. If the Flyers want to be a contender this year, knocking off their rivals, the two-time defending champions, is a good start.

In a post that will surely age well here's what I think:

Tampa over New Jersey
Toronto over Boston - Feels like this goes 7. Media hype train will reach critical mass if Toronto wins a series.
Washington over Columbus
Pittsburgh over Philadelphia - Hope this goes 7

Nashville over Colorado
Winnipeg over Minnesota
LA over Vegas
Anaheim over San Jose - It doesn't sound like Thornton comes back for round 1. Can't see San Jose advancing without him.
 
Winnipeg versus Minnesota: unstoppable force versus immovable object. The immovable object is "Winnipeg has never won a playoff series". The unstoppable force is Bruce Boudreau's clutch playoff coaching and his game 7 record. :thumbsup:

@osick87 :trollface:


Here's my 1st round predictions:

Tampa over NJ (in 5) - Not enough depth, experience, etc. for the Devils, especially in net.
Boston over Toronto (in 6) - I seriously hope Toronto pulls it out though.
Columbus over Washington (in 5) - Playoff Capitals...engage.
Pittsburgh over Philadelphia (in 6)

Nashville over Colorado (in 6) - I just don't think this Avs team has the depth to handle Nashville. I hope it goes 6 games so I can use my tickets!
Winnipeg over Minnesota (in 6) - Winnipeg, on paper, should run Minnesota out of the building. Dubnyk could make it a tighter series than otherwise.
LA over Vegas (in 4) - I am going out on a limb, but the Kings have so much talent and a clutch netminder. Vegas has been underwhelming down the stretch, plus "playoff Fleury" is here.
Anaheim over San Jose (in 6 or 7) - This could go either way.

See You Next Wednesday
Damn. DalASS didn't make the paloffs? How did the Avs sneak in?

Looking at the schedule, the Stars shit the bed in the month of March. 4W and 12L. Yeesh

Yeah the Stars sucked. I don't know all their problems but it seems they were doomed by lack of depth. Really high end talent across a few guys and then nothing. Avs won when they had to. St. Louis did not.

As much as I would love for the Pens to have a three peat I kind of hope the Caps get to the third round with Ovi and they get absolutely destroyed.
