Seems like the obvious choice, but anything can happen. Wouldn’t mind seeing the Sharks win, but have to be realistic. . 2
CommonCents Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I think the Jets win it all. I’m a Bruins fan but I don’t see them beating Toronto and then Tampa. First round upset, Carolina over Washington.

Not up on the west so I just picked 2 First round otherwise ALL CAPS ? The winningest record doesn’t guarantee anything. Ask the Caps 2 and 3 years ago.

K-9 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 The NHL playoff format is the worst in sports. That said, we need the Sharks and Blues to make first round exits. My upset special is the Hurricanes in the East.

row_33 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Nice someone picked the Leafs over the Bs unless it was a Leafs fan foolishly picking the Leafs

They had close games but the Canes lost every game against the Caps this season if I’m not mistaken. 17 minutes ago, row_33 said: Nice someone picked the Leafs over the Bs unless it was a Leafs fan foolishly picking the Leafs I was one. I’m anti Boston.

Love my Leafs but not betting a penny on them early memory of a playoff game and it was like 10-0 Boston and Quinn hurt Orr and Forbes Kennedy fought every Bruin and decked the linesman as well (suspended for life for that) and it hasn’t gotten better for my Leafs. 40 minutes ago, snafu said: This year Tampa ran away early and cruised. They can easily be the exception to the rule. I looked at the history of the Prez Trophy winner also taking the SC and it’s dismal, the Gretzky Oilers and bitter rival Flames did it way way back, both were no-brainer champs, rare since then Last ten years only Chicago took both, the strike shortened farce season And all the parades and screaming about the most points achieved is dimly based on 3 points handed out for a tie game, this doesn’t compare to days when a tie was the final score Edited April 7, 2019 by row_33
row_33 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 6 winners of both in almost 30 years the playoffs are too long and too random to pick a favourite, again unless it was a no-brainer like the Oil or Flames in the late 80/
