(let me know if you want on or off the ping list)
I have only one question. Will the Caps continue their record of postseason futility, or is this the year they break through with a deep playoff run? Ovechkin ain’t getting any younger!
My brackets have Nashville and Pittsburgh again meeting in the finals, but this time, Nashville wins.
You always need to watch for those middling teams who are getting hot as they enter the playoffs. Who might that be? Toronto? Anaheim? I just don’t see either of them as strong enough though.
No Stars, No Red Wings.
So I’m rooting for Toronto.
The Kings will take that series.
Time for the annual first or second round loss by the Washington Capitals.
Sharks should be able to dispose of the Ducklings. Love to see a Sharks - Leafs final. Though I’d prefer a Sharks Cup win I hope Patty Marleau can finally get his name on it!
The Avalanche or Stars, I forget which, had a real nice streak in the past 6 weeks, they went on at least, a 7 game streak, if that was Colorado, I don’t expect an upset over the Predators, who had the most points of any team but it might be a possibility. Likewise, Winterpeg is very good, I’d pick them over the Wild. Winnipeg might be good for the Western Conference and they didn’t make it last year.
Only 2 Canadian teams this time? Along with Toronto, I too, should be cheering on Toronto, nothing against Boston.
Kings/Knights, that’s an interesting matchup, I’ll pick the Kings, say the expansion Knights don’t win. Watch me be wrong.
I’ve got Washington and Vegas in my final and they couldn’t be more different. One team has one guy and 2 minor guys (Kusnetsov and Backstrom) doing all the scoring. The other team spreads the scoring around and really have no egos on that team.
Here we go again but without the Redwings, groan. We only missed the playoffs by 25 points - pathetic. So this year I’ll be rooting for the local team - The Bolts, who beat the Wings every time I watched them play.
Where did the NY Rangers go?
Some went to Florida to play golf and the rest went to Florida to play real hockey.
Go Sharks!
Winterpeg vs. Toronto an all Canadian final. Those fans, we have our fans... but those Canadians are intense, even if I like the Wild, I think this is the first time, the Jets have gotten into the playoffs, 2nd best record if I’m correct, great uniforms. I’m just kicking back and watching it. Great game.
Columbus wins again in OT....up 2-0.
Big goal there for the Leafs, 4-2 with 3:30 left in the 3rd.
I’m pretty certain this Maple Leafs save is the best hockey save I’ve ever seen

Here we go again....Overtime between Columbus and Washington.
Golden Knights already up 4-0 just 12 minutes into the 1st period.
Tampa looks tough. ... Would be strong opponent in the finals
