Caps need to snap out of this funk that they've been in for the last month or so.
I didn't realize they were in a funk, I was eclipsed by the Ovi record chase. What'd you think of their play last night?
They've leaned pretty heavily on LT their first two games. If you look at how the Caps finished the regular season, losing to the Blue Jackets, the Isles, etc, it didn't inspire a lot of confidence. I'm glad they're off to a 2-0 lead in the series against the Habs, but I think they'll need to find another gear if they're gonna make a deep run this year. I'd love nothing more than to see Ovi win another cup before he retires, and I think they can do it this year if LT stays healthy and everyone eats their wheaties, but it's gonna be a slog. Then again, I know that's how its supposed to be. We'll see!
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators?
I think Toronto takes this one. Battle of Ontario!
As a sens fan, I hope not lol, should be a great series though, really looking forward to it
Leafs. I clearly haven’t learned my lesson.
Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars?
I hope the Avs. Tf happened to Dallas in the last few weeks?!
Ya, the Avs are looking elite this year. Not as tuned into the Stars, but agreed their last ten isn't looking great.
It's pretty common to fall off at the end of the regular season, all the teams who have no chance of moving up or down in their brackets (in order to gain home ice or face a more favorable contender) rest their top talent. The Avs last few games saw their fourth line promoted to first, and lines 2-4 populated with dudes who didn't see any I've time this year. No use in risking injury for games that literally don't matter.
Las Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild?
Winnipeg Jets vs. St. Louis Blues?
Binnington vs. Hellabuyck. Prolly jets in six but this could be a war.
As a Blues fan, I'd love to say us, but I don't see us getting past the Jets. Especially if Holloway is still out.
Ya... That's a tough matchup for the blues, but it's the playoffs, anything can happen!
Assuming Ehlers recovers and everyone else stays healthy, the Jets can absolutely take the series.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers?
I must've been asleep b/c I didn't recall the Panthers' having slipped so far toward the end of the regular season that Tampa got home ice advantage. Hell, the cats finished only one point ahead of the Sens! Granted, they were missing Tkachuk and Marchand for a good chunk there. Based on how well they turned it around in Tampa, I won't be surprised if they complete the sweep in Sunrise.
Hoping for a 21 game series where they dress the farm teams due to injury.
Carolina Hurricanes vs. New Jersey Devils?
Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings?
Again! Kings are the best they've been the last four years against the oil in the first round, but as always.... (Gestures to the Connor McDavid). Oilers in six.
As an Oilers fan I'm feeling pretty anxious, the team is severely banged up, and trying to score on Kuemper this year has been an exercise in futility. McDrai will have to be at full power to pull this one off. I'm gonna say Oilers in 7, but I would also not be surprised if the Kings go on a run this year.
Does nobody post here?.
You know it's the one thing I miss most about reddit, so I thought I'd try to get some discussion going with the playoffs afoot
Yeah it would be good if it's more active. Reddit is just a cess pool but I miss the Colorado Avalanche sub Reddit and the hockey one.
Who's your team? Or are you bandwagonning?
Ya, agreed, all the more reason to shoot the shit here! I'm a sens fan, so currently suffering lmao
Ahhh no. Gutting...hopefully you turn it around with the next two home games. Just getting a small edge on Toronto and hopefully they will start to crumble.
I'm looking forward to getting Landeskog back for the first home game. It's going to be electric!
Ya, they really need to win the next one. Felt so close last night and then... ya.
Landy coming back is huge, what a legend!!!
