Nice steal by the blues this afternoon. IMO they didn't play great, but the powerplay saved the day.

game 7 1st round...says Micky  the Geek...LOL  In all seriousness... perhaps the North Stars don't have what it takes to exploit Dallas's fundemental weakness..a fatal one come playoff time and with the different style of play that is 'playoff hockey' (If anyone knows that .. it is Capitals fan) but others in the west do.

I'd be surprised in they emerged out of the west.  I think it will be the Kings myself..not that it will matter. The east retakes the Cup this year no mattter who comes out of the west. It was the better side pretty much the whole of the year and has the two hottest.. perhaps best teams in it.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I just use nhl.com. But then, I'm just looking for facts/news, not opinions.
 
Excellent win by the blueshirts today. Stars/wild game was pretty exciting too.

^ I have not found a site I like

Pens did not get it done today, goalie did not have great day, but was not all his fault either.  Oh well, tied 1-1.

The officiating was really horrible in game 2.  Just like last year, the Bolts have pulled their Johnson out and the Wings look screwed.

really surprised so far by the Wings/Rays series.... either the wings are worse than I thought... or the Rays minus Stamkos and Stralman were THAT good..

Sharks/Kings game was quite the good one.

Weird though how the Isles will have completed two games before the Ducks even start one.

From  http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/04/12/whos-going-to-win-the-stanley-cup-pht-staffers-make-their-picks/


Mike Halford: Chicago Blackhawks

I’d feel better about my original pick, Tampa Bay, if Steven Stamkos hadn’t needed a rib removed to fix his blood-clotting issue. And, also, if Anton Stralman hadn’t fractured his leg with eight games left in the season. But see, that stuff happened, man. Theoretically, my new pick should be the team I predicted would lose to the Bolts in the final — Anaheim. Right? WRONG. In a classic Halfordian twist, I’m going with Chicago. (“Halfordian” is Latin for “when all else fails, take the team that won it last year.”) For all the hand-wringing about how the ‘Hawks finished the season, remember this: Artemi Panarin had 13 points in his final five games of the year. Patrick Kane had 12. Marian Hossa, Andrew Shaw, Artem Anisimov and Corey Crawford all appear healthy and ready for the playoff opener. AndDuncan Keith is back for Game 2. The Stanley Cup, like it has three times in the last six years, goes through the Windy City.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being from northwest IN I have to root for the Blackhawks...

Weirdly, this set up has set up some unfortunate clashes in my mind. I figured both TB and Detroit would be eliminated in round one...which obviously can't happen. I similarly thought that Nashville could make some hay...but for my money the ducks are the best of the west (with that other LA team close behind).

I assume the blues will continue to suck...but it felt wrong to pick all the favorites...
