Which series will be the most physical?

[Eye of Ra]

Probably Florida - Tampa?

Probably Florida - Tampa?

Hopefully.

 

[1specter]

Florida-Tampa and Dallas-Colorado. Honorable mentions to Blues-Jets and Leafs-Sens.

 

[MBTendy]

I can see St Louis/Winnipeg being pretty physical but I doubt any series will top the Tampa/Florida one.

 

[mondo3]

I'd suggest Wild Knights, but it may be a short series

 

[WestCoastLife]

Blues vs Jets gunna be a big body banger.

 

[Gm0ney]

Oilers-Kings?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

WPG/STL in my opinion.

VGK/MIN a close second.

 

[Fatass]

Washington vs Montreal. The Tom Wilson effect.

 

[BB79]

Florida-Tampa and Dallas-Colorado. Honorable mentions to Blues-Jets and Leafs-Sens.

I would normally disagree about the Leafs, but playing Ottawa might make that different.

I think TB-Florida will be the hardest hitting. Good list

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Sens Leafs?

#4 in hits per game (Sens) vs #8 (Leafs). Battle of Ontario, so some natural animosity built right in. I could see that series getting very physical very early.

Leafs and Sens are both top ten in hits. Leafs also had 13 different players pick up a fighting major this season, and statistically are one of the heaviest teams. I get the soft rep from previous years where Dubas would trade a first for Foligno or sign an over the hill Wayne Simmonds to address 'toughness', but the team is past those days.

Hoping most is Panthers-Lightning
Hoping least is Leafs-Sens

I mentioned it above. I'm actually more surprised that nobody else has said Dallas/Colorado.

 

[Killakirillthethrill]

I'd have to think Vegas and Minnesota will be hella physical, every defender on the knights is massive, and the Wild will have to match that physicality to stand a chance on hanging in the series.

 

[Realm]

I'd suggest Wild Knights, but it may be a short series

I dont know about that, Vegas should be able to last 5 or 6 games.

 

[Relapsing]

Florida/tampa

Also 1/2 of the Ottawa/Toronto series because those leafs are 10 ply

 

[Coffee]

Probably Florida - Tampa?

Are you the all seeing eye?

 

[SomaliHackey]

Florida Tampa
Toronto Ottawa
Edmonton LA

Honestly Colorado and Dallas really dont play that kind of game.

That is surprising, I never really have them as a physical team.

Ok, good. I hope Toronto and Ottawa both destroy each other in their series

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Oilers and Kings will get ugly is my guess, in the best way possible..

Leafs will get pounded by the Sens, so not really physical. More like one-way abuse.

 

[BlueDream]

The two LEAST physical will be Carolina-NJ and Colorado-Dallas.

The other 6 should all have a high level of physicality.

I'm not sure where the Sens got their reputation as a physical team. Not saying they're soft or anything but no they're not abusing anyone in the playoffs just yet

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Leafs vs Sens will be the most physical series between fans. Tiktok and X are about to get some good content when the inevitable brawls break out between drunkards in the 300s.
