I was pulling for the Wild. It'll be interesting to see if any of the late-trade 1-yr guys get re-signed and what they do w/Dumba's 6Million.
While watching one of the earlier games they showed Kaprisov walking into the arena in MLPS for game 6 and his walk was "off", almost looked like someone who'd had spinal fusion. I know nearly everyone still playing @ this time of year is banged up, but, suspect we'll find out Kaprisov was injured pretty good. Maybe just bruised or broken ribs I suppose but he hasn't been the same since sitting out a month @ the end of the season. The Wild should be contenders for some time to come, they've got a great core of young guys signed for a good while who'll just be hitting their stride when they're out from under $15million in Suter/Parise buyout $$ in 2 yrs. Suter is laughing all the way to the bank getting $10MM-$11MM/yr between MN and Dallas salaries.
With the Wild out, I don't have a favorite now. But I'll still watch a bunch of the games for the amazing things yet to be done.

I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
I was so elated to see Boston get outed by the 8th seed last night. Hate Marchand. Dirtiest player in the league and was surprised he could play 7 games without taking a suspension. Islanders out, woo hoo. Now if only the Rangers get sent golfing tonight, the world will be at peace again.
I wouldn't mind seeing the panthers take it all. I haven't really followed the krakens, and the canes will fall in the next round. I really hope the Devils send the rangers packing.
Biotch weasel is out of the playoffs, focused on buying junior sized suits. Plenty of time over the summer to practice the super badass licking and spearing techniques.
Finally getting to see some of the games. Toronto hanging tough with Lightning, Florida never saying die and tonight’s Devils complete mastery of a game 7.
Boston sucks but I think the Law of Averages caught up some. To only lose 12 out of 82 …… the playoffs aren’t the place to get your first losing streak

You can easily vote your way in to Socialism; but you'll have to shoot your way out.
I think the Rangers are screwed for next year. The went out and bought up the best free agents on the market because they thought they had the team to win the cup. They can't keep all those guys and will have to rebuild again.
I was disgusted with my team, the Penguins. Started off the first part of the season being unbeatable and just went into the crapper. Last few games of the season were just horrible. The won't address the goalie situation and they keep changing lines. Can't build chemistry if they don't play together.
Stunned Boston is out. Surprised Kraken took Avalanche- but am glad for it. Stars -Edmonton would really harken back to glory days and I will be rooting for that. The team on our Conference that scares me most is Vegas but Stars are playing great and are healthy.

Go Panthers. If you want a good laugh watch the leafs guy LFR "Leafs Fan Reaction" after every loss I think his name is Steve Dangle SP? better yet I will post it in the morning when it comes out on youtube.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

Was at the last Pens home game. To say is was a disappointment is an understatement.
I have the Stars beating the Lightning for the cup.
I have TB beating Boston in round 2 and Canes in rd 3.
I have Dallas beating Avs in rd 2 and Edm in rd 3.
BCBH- can you change your picks please? I want the Stars to win it! lol
I was going to say these semi final series are hard to call but then look at the first round.
Florida looking like they have the juice at the moment. Taking home field advantage is big and I don't see the Devils overcoming the Canes.
I was giving LV a slight edge over Edm but will be more excited for an Oilers Stars matchup for old time sakes.
You could still have Edm- Dallas right and the cup finalists correct. I am pulling for ya!!!

Bump on this- no one following? ? ? ? Stars won and looked like the Kraken of two nights ago. Do not know how that happens. LV up on Oilers as I suspected. not over yet. Florida 3-0 against the Leafs....just....WOW...what a run they are having. Carolina just waiting to finish off NJD.
