So St. Louis vs Winnipeg

Vegas gets the easy 1st round

Blues are in good position for an upset.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Jets and Blues
Stars and Avs

Knights and Wild
Kings and Oilers


Could be a wild first round.

 

[Balthazar]

If CBJ get in they might very well beat the Caps.

 

[dahrougem2]

Yeah, I think the Blues have an ability to pull off the upset because Ehlers is week to week and Vilardi is day-to-day and potentially not fully healthy.

 

[Balthazar]

Classy

 

[McMetal]

Blues are in good position for an upset.

I am profoundly disinterested in facing a red-hot Blues team out for revenge after an emotional series win over the Stars.

 

[Alienblood]

Think about the fact that the Habs could've had both Michkov and Demidov (unless there is something to the story of Michkov really wanting the Flyers but why lol). And I'm not trying to reign in on Reinbacher here, but he was a bit of an out of board pick anyway, and was severly injured this season so how is that going to go...

It's going to f***ing suck ass to be at HFBoards in a few years when the Habs are good let me tell you that.

They won't be

They’re also going to run the shit out of Helly.

Also, just like the Caps, the Jets are nowhere near as good on paper as their record is showing. And Hellebuyck is their franchise player and he's starting to have a history of choking when it really counts.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

You know damn well the Wild will secure that OT point

Right on cue

 

[Alienblood]

Because they got smacked tonight?

Missing:

Barkov
Tkachuk
Reinhart
Ekblad
Lundell

+ Vanecek in goal.

I think Florida wins that series with their guys back in. They know what it takes.

And Tampa doesn't ?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

So Nurse gets one game, which means he’s good to go for Game 1 of the playoffs.

Byfield is out with an “upper body injury”, not playing tonight and potentially concussed. He will likely not be able to play a few games of the series.

I’d be fuming if I was LAK. Dropping gloves and out for blood the second the puck drops in game 1.

McDrai would have their knees absolutely wrecked apart.

 

[dahrougem2]

Hahahaha ok I hate the Wild but putting Fleury in like this is awesome and the guy is going out like Adam Foote did.

Random two-pad stack out of nowhere, full on cross-check to the Ducks player screening him, glove save and drops the puck immediately while on the kill, gives the post a tap while on the PK.

 

[dahrougem2]

And Fleury gets the W

 

[the_fan]

Jets and Blues
Stars and Avs

Knights and Wild
Kings and Oilers


Could be a wild first round.

I would have preferred Vegas playing the Blues because Blues would be a challenge for them. Now Vegas is gonna have an easy parth to west finals. Playing the Wild then Kings or Oilers in the 2nd round.

Yeah but @Bathalzar will be happy.

F***ing cowards. You only incentive this scummy shit when you cringe away from real consequences. Intentionally injuring your next-week playoff opponent's biggest game breaker should be 10 games minimum, playoffs or not. The context MATTERS in game 81.

 

[RampoSanta]

Any scoop on the Robert Thomas injury? I see he left the game but it could have strictly precautionary given the score.

AI was a mistake

Yuck.

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Scumbag people do scumbag things. Nurse has probably played 2000+ hockey games in his life. Wasn’t a surprise or reactionary play. Just reflective of the type of person he is.

Sucks for Byfield, what a player he is; also sucks for the game of hockey in general, scummy Nurse diluting the talent going into the playoffs, no doubt intentionally.

Hope someone / the whole team line him up and run him off the ice.

 

[Vaslof]

I'd like to say hate the game not the player, but I do hate the player too

I was already convinced, but you are absolutely right.
