Zach6668 513 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm excited for these playoffs. I like a lot of these matchups. Some early thoughts. Winnipeg/Minnesota is an overdue rivalry. I hope Minnesota can keep it relatively close. Washington/Columbus is intriguing. Can the Jackets get to the 2nd round for the first time? Or is this finally Washington's year? Boston/Toronto is a nice rematch from that "it was 4-1" series. Should be a really good one. Leafs could take it. I'm excited to see Colorado in the playoffs, but I fear they won't be there long. I think MacKinnon and the rest of his line could really raise their game, but, then again, Nashville's the team to shut them down. Can New Jersey upset Tampa? I could see Hall being a serious playoff star. Pulling for San Jose over Anaheim... still want to see those guys win a Cup. Vegas/LA should be interesting. High scoring, high speed Vegas against the stingiest defensive team in the league (fewest GA). I hate Pittsburgh/Philly. I could see the Pens having a 2012-style defensive meltdown (less of the 2012 composure meltdown, though). Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Stanley Cup rematch, eh? 3 straight finals would be a heck of a run for the Pens. Minny in 5? How much bias are we using up here? I haven't decided on that series. I like Monny a lot. I see it being close enough, but without Suter? Jets are soooo good. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just a hunch (fairly large amount of bias). I don't think the Suter injury hurts the Wild as much as people think. Link to post Share on other sites
