2020 NHL Play-in/Playoffs Discussion Thread

[T-Force]

Finally, my bread and butter.
The league decided to ditch the States after their COVID response, and headed to Canada for the double hub city.

24 teams in, 8 series to determine the 8 teams to join the top slots for the playoffs.

Go you Canuckleheads go~

Yeah. The Western Conference is currently playing all their games in Edmonton, and the Eastern Conference is in Toronto.
Come the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final, it'll all be in Edmonton.

[kommisar]

boston losing is good

but having a cold start playoffs is going to make this season the most unpredictable ever

[T-Force]

0 positive COVID tests after one week back and playing. I will admit I had my doubts, but it's looking good right now.

The fact there can be a series done before the Canucks-Wild play game 2 is amusing to me.

Brought the brooms out. Sorry NY Rangers fans. =( You guys fought very hard.

All I’ve known this year in sports is pain.

That being said, it’s great to have playoff hockey back. Only thing I’m worried about is that I keep having nightmares that Montreal will beat Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh will win the lottery pt 2.
