2012 NHL Playoffs Bitches!!!

[Rupe]

It's that time of year again...who do you like? I know I'm a homer for the Pens but I see their first round series with the Flyers as the best first round match-up. The winner of that series is gonna be so beat up that the second round could be a let down.

East
Pens in 6
B's in 7
Devils in 6
Sens in 7

West
Canucks in 7
Blues in 5
Blackhawks in 5
Wings in 6

Here's my predictions...

East
Pens in 7, Crosby concussed, out for playoffs
Washington in 7, Obama takes a hit order out on Thomas for White House dis.
Flo-rider in 6, Brodeur meltdown/retirement
Rangers in 5

West
Canucks in 6
Blues in 5, Jumbo Joe cries.
Phoenix in 7, Sharp declares them 'charlatans and pretenders'
Nashville in 7, Lidstrom retires

I don't do do predictions but a couple of dark horses are Nashville and Phoenix, they have great goaltending and are well coached.....I'm ready for the second season to get underway tomorrow!

I know my Coyotes.... if they can continue to play the way they have been, they have a shot.
But they have a history of falling apart in the playoffs. I expect they'll crumble once the playoff pressure cooker starts.

Sedin out tonight

[Hellbat]

Yup, his bell is still rung from the elbow sandwich he ate. Luckily the team was like 8-1 without him in the lineup.

I have my Naslund jersey on, and I'm ready to go!

[atomic charvel guy]

was on the phone with Rupe tonight, i told him I'm at my most uncomfortable state of mind when the rangers have a 2 or 3 goal lead, they always blow it. When the rangers have a one goal lead they play well. What a comeback by the Flyers.
The meth that the penguins had must have worn off and then the dealer went into the flyers locker room.
I was bagging in bryzgalov in the first, he got it back together.
Wings down 2-1 right now.

[atomic charvel guy]

wings down 2-1 in the 3rd.

[Shawn Lutz]

Weber should get a couple for punching Zetterberg in the head then grabbing his head ans smashing it WWF style into the glass.

If that is all the Preds can hand out on home ice I have no fear of them. 2 of their 3 goals were flukey lucky bounces. My god there were 17 penalties called last night in that game because Bettman was in the building, no flow to the game whatsoever. Detroit ans Nashville are two of the cleanest, least penalized teams in the league and we get a ruined game by officials. 17 penalties, only about 4 were really penalties

The zebras always start the playoffs out terrible. Plus this year they've sat a lot of the veteran refs in the playoffs. I'd expect to see lots more shaky calls until at least the second round.

[atomic charvel guy]

the zebras should be put in the box on all penalties and beaten by the players until the penalty is over,
and the however many players get penalized, that's how many zebras should have to sit in there with them and let
the players go off that are on the ice.
