Blues over Penguins in 6 - Finals

Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup.

Putin your 2nd round matchups don't line up. Bruins are the 2 seed and Senators are the 8 seed, so the matchups would be Penguins vs. Devils and Bruins vs. Senators. There are similar issues with your western conference 2nd rounds.

The NHL reseeds with each playoff round.

I like the Predators to advance pretty far.

Ok let's try this again:

Bruins over Senators in 5
Penguins over Devils in 6

Blues over Kings in 5

My picks would be:
RD1
Rangers over Senators in 6.
Bruins over capitals in 6.
Devils over Panthers in 5.
Flyers over Penguins in 7.

Canucks over Kings in 6.
Blues over Sharks in 7.
Phoenix over Blackhawks in 7.

Finals
Rangers over Vancouver in 7. ala 1994.

Rangers have lost their mojo. Played abominably since April began.

Yeah, they haven't quite been the same team, but I think they'll be ready for the playoffs. Lundqvist can win them the Stanley Cup on his play alone.

All I know is that I'm damn excited for the pens flyers series. Going to be awesome. And to win the lottery tonight. Fail for Nail.

Pens/Flyers will be awesome.

I'm sorry you're a CBJ fan.

Vancouver looks more complete to me than anyone else. I'm not going to predict every round, because that's kind of a sucker's game, IMO, but I think Nashville is their most dangerous foe in the Campbell Conference. Honestly, though, I don't watch enough Prince of Wales hockey to make an intelligent guess as to what's going on out there. I pretty much watch hockey when the Blackhawks or one of their rivals are playing; I tend not to give a shit about who wins a random Rangers-Flyers or Bruins-Penguins game.

@fasces Ugh, you're the worst. I can deal with right wing authoritarianism, but Red Wings fandom? You should be brought up before the Hague.

Just cause your a hawks fan?

Not just because I'm a Blackhawks fan. It's because you're a Red Wings fan. Cheering for the Red Wings is like cheering for Ted Bundy; it's loathsome and contemptible, and may indicate someone is a budding serial killer.

LOL @ Canadian nationalists who support American NHL teams. Especially Detroit which probably has the fewest Canadian players of any team.

Putin, that's actually a huge point of debate between Canadian hockey fans. There are a lot in the 'gotta support a Canadian team' camp but many who find that notion laughable.

First off, many Yankee teams have more Canadian players. Secondly, most of the Canadian teams constitute our biggest rivals so that sorts gets in the way of cheating for them.

But, yeah, fuck Detroit.

Pavel Datsyk is by far my fav player, hence why I cheer for detriot (sort of like a lot of people cheer for the Pens because of Crosby)

You should probably learn to spell the name of your favourite player correctly ;)

The point was Detroit has few (comparatively) Canadian players. It's Team Sweden, basically.

I am saddened that the CBJ owner is now officially a bigot who won't draft Russians simply because of ethnicity, which is why CBJ won't draft Yakupov despite being primed to get him. Horrible.

"Secondly, most of the Canadian teams constitute our biggest rivals"

Biggest rivals of whom if you don't support a Canadian team anyway?

Hehe, Team Sweden, that got me wonder whether NJD will follow their way from 08-09 and 11 and draft yet another Swede in round 1.

^I'm a Leafs fan.
Not making excuses for faeces. Just saying that cheering for other Canadian teams is a contentious point. And, like I said, fuck Detroit.

So, Oilers win the draft. Crazy. I guess they have trade down so they can pick a d-man?
