The_Admiral Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well, my team's season is over, so I might as well get it started.Hope this year's Stanley Cup is better than its regular season, far and away the worst since before the lockout.I expect great predictions from all once the matchups are set, however late that may be tonight. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 In the East I only really see 3 or 4 teams that have a legit shot. Out West, I think it's going to be absolute chaos. Every team has some sort of flaw, so anyone in the West in my eyes has a chance. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 My prediction is Rangers, Blues, Bruins, and Red Wings in the final 4 with any combination meeting in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by me taking LA it's obvious that the Predators will still be playing in June. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 East!Rangers over Senators in 6 - Sens are going to have a decent shot in this series, if there big guns continue to be big guns, and Anderson can hold up. He played really well last time he was in the playoffs.Bruins over Capitals in 5 - Bruins have the honor of defending their title. Caps, played better of late, but still not buying them. Thomas will stand on his head, and get the Black and Gold through. Devils over Panthers in 6 - Really want to pick the Panthers, but if Martin Brodeur can play decently well, I think the Panthers are gonna have some trouble. Even if they have some guys on their squad with Stanley Cup and Playoff expierence. How much will home ice play a roll. I'm sure they'll sell out in Newark, what about Sunshine?Penguins over Flyers in 7 - I think Goaltending will play a huge roll. MA-F has done well all year, Bryz has been up and down. Even if the Penguins have all their weapons, the Flyers can match up well. They may miss Pronger though.West!Canucks over Kings in 7 - Aren't we all just waiting for the Kings to breakout? Probably not going to happen under a Darryl Sutter reign of terror. Jon Quick will be the guy that will either carry the Kings through, or out quickly. Can Luongo obviously hold, we shall see.Sharks over Blues in 6 - I think the Sharks can take the Blues, they have the better depth in scoring, but the Blues are tough nut to crack. Halak should be the guy, but he'll need some help keeping up with the Sharks.Coyotes over Blackhawks in 6 - If Mike Smith can do what Ilya Bryzgalov couldn't do. The Yotes' could be staying a bit longer in the desert. This is a Yote club that's been playoff tested of late, but they're playing a team only a couple years removed from a cup and with Toews coming back, could be another short series. But Goaltending is key and the Desert Dogs win this one. Predators over Red Wings in 7 - Preds could either go all the way or fizzle out against the Red Wings. They have Radulov and if he can carry most of the scoring, with Fisher and Co. joining in. I don't see another flaw on this team. As for the Wings they're the most experienced bunch in the final 16. Do they have it in them for one last kick at it, as this group? JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 The 2010 Flyers punctured better goalies than Mike Smith and survived with worse goalies than Corey Crawford. I have to keep telling myself this.Hmph, 15 replies and none of them liked my Igor Stravinsky reference. I thought it was pretty good: both are polarizing, both have a distinct Russian element, and both incited riots. I try too hard.
