2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Laughton was just taken off the ice on a stretcher after he was checked by Carlson and hit the boards awkwardly.

I think Chicago will still get past them, but I think the Blues have a chance.

I like L.A.'s chances again this year, but imo, they will either exit early or go all the way.

I see a L.A./Washington Stanley Cup with L.A. prevailing, or a Chicago/Washington SC with Chicago prevailing.

With the above being said however, this is one of the toughest years I have had picking who gets by who.

In my opinion, an upset isn't out of the question, especially if they dig deep and do it for Snider?

The Panther/Islander's game is pretty good. Back and forth so far.

Well, looks like I am officially out of my pool.

L.A.'s loss last night did it for me as I picked them to go all the way and win Lord Stanley.

I also lost Detroit and my other picks are either currently behind or tied where they should be ahead.

Pitts is doing well and I took NY.
Isle's look like they might get by Florida and of course I took Florida.
Minny won and they are playing strong against Dallas. Can see them now winning this series, especially since Seguin won't be playing.

Philly now has a chance over Washington, they have a lot of confidence and are playing extremely well.

Guess it's time to just sit back and hope my Hawks move on but that is not looking good either.

Like I mentioned, one of the toughest years for picking teams.

Brooklyn! LGI

Way to go Islanders! Very exciting game.

So the Hawks fought back and forced a game 7. Game 6 was completely insane. This whole series has been nuts.
Very worried that Tarasenko will burn the hawks tonight. They don't seem to have an answer for him. Wonder why Hitch doesn't play him more.

Anything can happen in a Game 7. Looks like I'm not getting any work done today.

They are calling for Hitch's head if the Blues don't win tonight. We are tired of the Blues being the Cubs of hockey.

I saw an article recently about Tarasenko's ice time.(http://www.stltoday.com/sports/hocke...9f5bbc558.html)
I said the same thing last year about Hitchcock, but I think this will actually be the year his job is on the line.

Going to be a great game tonight, but history tells me CHI is going to win.

Here's hoping!

The Tarasenko kerfuffle might actually be a bit of a side/gong show tonight which might allow Chicago to take them easily, but my gut tells me Hitch will cave to Tarasenko's demands and play him more?

I dislike players who show disrespect and what Tarasenko did on the bench the other night was uncalled for. To bad Hitch wasn't in a position to bench him as I certainly would.

The best case scenario would be for Tarasenko to get all the ice he can handle, and then some, and completely blow his opportunity allowing Chicago the win.

That would be sweet justice imo.
