Playoff hockey boys and girls! More fans in the stands in most arenas, and some juicy matchups. Here's my first pass, non-researched picks...
Bruins over Caps
Pens over Islanders
Panthers over Bolts
Canes over Preds
Oilers over Jets
Leafs over Habs
Wild over Knights
BLUES OVER AVS
I don't feel great about a bunch of those, and the homer pick is clearly devoid of a lot of logic, but honestly fuck Kroenke. Playoff time, let's roll.
Re: 2021 Playoff Thread
2Non-Blues series I'm most psyched for is Panthers Lightning. Panthers have had a great year and have actually earned the higher seed in the matchup. Big question is, do they pick the right goalie?
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

Tampa is getting back everybody at the right time. Chemistry might be off. Not sure the Panthers are ready for primtime just yet.
Bruins are in playoff mode...I think that’s bad news for the Capitals.
Just want the Islanders to beat the Pens. In Trotz I believe .
Canes handle the Preds easily.
Oilers are just too much for the Jets
Leafs and Habs are going 7 games
I don’t believe in Minnesota
Blues.....punch Nate Mac in the face and make him bleed all over the ice. I want the Blues to channel their testicles from 2019....hang them out on the ice , let them know we’re there!

8You could tell me 7 of the 8 Central/East teams make it out of their respective divisions and I'd easily believe it. The Preds are the only team that's just happy to be there. In the North I just desperately want Leafs-McDavid in round 2, but history constantly tells us not to get too excited about potential second round match ups.NHLTIM wrote: Sat May 15, 2021 6:16 pmBruinsDave's a mess wrote: Sat May 15, 2021 10:03 am Playoff hockey boys and girls!

Recent regular season play between 2 teams made it look like the Bruins would beat Caps. But now the Caps have goaltending issues so who knows. I want Washington to win. As Larry Robinson would say, Fuck Boston.

11Absolutely legendary goalie duel between Talbot and MAF going on right now

Re: 2021 Playoff Thread
12Petro fails to clear puck, Minnesota wins in OT. Oh boy, Perron or no Perron, Blues better find a way to beat Avs. Wild in 2nd rd would be sweet.
Re: 2021 Playoff Thread
13Wild take game 1 from Vegas in OT. All started on a Petro turnover
