Kramerica Industries Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I dunno, you guys. I've picked Los Angeles-Chicago for the WCF in the past two seasons and been right both times, so I'm picking that matchup to happen again, and won't admit to being wrong until that matchup fails to happen.

The_Admiral Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Jesus you guys I'm the biggest Jets Homer in here but I don't even think they'll last 6 against the Ducks.I think they're evenly matched. The Ducks have more elite talent up top, the Jets have more depth, the Ducks are better at forward, Jets on defense, but both teams have lots of big mean guys who go around trying to crush everyone. Anaheim has a slight edge in goals scored (228 to 223), Winnipeg has a sizable edge in goals against (221 to 204), and the Jets have the wider gap between the two (19 to 7), which the Jets achieved in a meat-grinder of a division. If the Ducks can keep up their magic in one-goal games, they'll get through, but if the horseshoe finally falls out of their ass and the Jets can floor it for seven games, the Jets can win a razor-close war of a series. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not completely convinced that Anaheim has championship level goalies, and the shoe is gonna drop for Pavelec at some point. I mean, I hope like hell the Jets can pull it out, but I'm just not sure. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Go Isles. Preferably over the Blues, but I'd be fine with pretty much anyone from the West. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Patrick Kane is expected to be cleared for contact tomorrow and is 'probable' for game 1.It should be noted that every season Kane has recorded over a point per game, the Hawks have won the Stanley Cup.

HedleyLamarr Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 At my first glance, the Western Conference looks so....weak.The Blues are playing well, but they always seem to be doing that until the playoffs begin. Can't trust them.Nashville's been hot garbage for over a month now. Don't like that trend.The Flames seem like they're not ready for the spotlight. I think of them having a bunch of kids.The Canucks and Jets seem like just average teams, though Winnipeg's peaking at the right time. My gut feeling is that Chicago kinda King'ed their way through the last month and are gonna get into playoff mode and cruise to the Finals. I like Anaheim's chances of reaching the Finals because of their ability to play great in 1-goal situations. And hasn't Minnesota had the best 2nd-half of the season (goal differential-speaking)?If I had to rank the West in order of likelihood of reaching the Cup Final, I'd go: Anaheim, Chicago, Minnesota, St. Louis, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Nashville, Calgary.In the East...yikes. Even though Pittsburgh's an 8-seed, I wouldn't be shocked to see them make a run. I think the winner of their series with the Rangers makes the Cup Final. I think Ottawa will be gassed, I don't trust Tampa or the Islanders or Washington, and I'm not sure what to make of Detroit or Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Chicago, like the Kings, has logged a lot of playoff miles over the years (Their core has played in a boatload of playoff games dating back to 2009!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
