Playoff hockey

[philliesfan]

My Flyers did not make it and are rebuilding.

So with the exception of a few teams......Bruins, Rangers, Stars, I do not care who wins. I just enjoy playoff hockey.

I have been saying for years that playoff hockey is the exciting and the best.

The Rangers look really good this year and should have no problems with Washington.
The Vancouver/Preds game last night was a good one but I suspect Vancouver will prevail in that series?

Nylander sounds like he has a sore back and might not play again tonight?
Like I said, I believe a Boston sweep regardless against Toronto?

It's a shame Dallas and Vegas are going at each other in the 1st round. 2 great teams, imo, should be a series played much deeper into the playoffs. But, I guess that's the way it goes?

Hurricanes should beat the Islanders, imo.
I see the Panthers getting by TB too.
Jets and Av's is one of those series that I think could go either way, but I see the Jets prevailing, maybe?

Edmonton vs the Kings. Should be Edmonton winning that one, but, I think if the Kings can get it together, they could upset them? The Kings have really faltered as of late, especially Byfield, who was lighting it up earlier in the season. I think the Pierre Luc Dubois trade/contract and with the fact he certainly isn't living up to they hype L.A. placed on him is affecting the whole team? Something seems to be up if that's not it though?

Go stars!

Man, the Knights are tough though.

Should be a fun series… I struggle to stay up late to watch the end of the games. Only made it through 2 periods last night

That whole Stone debacle, although legal because of the CBA, needs some serious looking into.
An acquaintance on another forum mentioned he knows a friend of Stone's who informed him a couple/few yrs ago, that his days of playing a full season anymore are behind him. Of course, no idea how true, but this guy seems like a pretty straight shooter, imo.

Talk about rubbing salt in the wound too when Stone scored the 1st goal of his first game back of the first game of the series.
I like Vegas but I like Dallas more and think they are in tough against them.

Losing Demko is tough but I think the Canucks can still prevail against the Preds. Have to get Pettersson going
