Eh, they didn't really "destroy" the Bruins.

I know, but I want them to.

And NOOO!

Nice endgame in St. Louis. Can't wait to see how game 3 in SJ will start.

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

Well that was a strange game.

Sharks only manage to score on themselves. Blues manage to take out their own goaltender.

Sharks get into penalty trouble, Blues end the game with a 5 on 3 goal.

Oh yeah and, fights fights fights everywhere. unfortunately most of them gave the Sharks the Blues as the Blues defeated the Sharks both in the game and the fights.

The Shark Tank awaits.

Updated.
Every series is tied save for three underdogs.

And me being the big 'Nucks fan I am, anyone expecting them to show a different side in LA?
Me, personally, yes. This is a big hole, but this is also a Vancouver team that can play well when under pressure. Don't laugh, they can. For one, they were one of the best road teams in the NHL.
Also, let's think back for a bit. 2002. Detroit, as the first seed, falls 2-0 at home to the lowly, 8th seeded Vancouver Canucks. They would go on to win 4 straight on route to a Stanley Cup victory.
Not enough? How about this. 2011. Montreal, in the 6th seed, takes a 2-0 series lead over the 3rd ranked Boston Bruins. Needless to say, we all know how that turned out.

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

Philadelphia is an exception because we all hate Pittsburgh.

Also, gotta like how most of us bet Pittsburgh, yet are hoping and praying for a Philly victory.

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

T-Force, you forget the 2010 Philadelphia flyers who went down 3-0 to Boston, but came back to tie the series, and then in game 7, went down 3-0 in the game, and came back to win 4-3 in regulation.

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

Blue, I was going mainly at first round teams who went on to win the Cup, but excellent example as well there.

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

Preds got lucky there. Could have been an OT game (another!)

Re: NHL Playoff Predictions: 2011-12 Edition

James Neil's goal was pretty dirty. Almost as nice as Klein's against Detroit.
