If those veterans weren't also some of the least likable players in the league, you'd have a point. 

Benn and Duchene I get, what's so unlikable about Pavelski?

- Death

- Taxes

- The Stars losing Game 1 of a playoff series in overtime (this is the fifth time this has happened in the last two years)

How do you not score on a four minute powerplay in overtime?

Not sure what the maximum number of times they can wear it is

They're allowed three alternate games, so one would assume they wear navy for at least one of them, and I would like two throwback games, but we can really only confidently expect one.

I'm really looking foreward to the games where they wear the Throwbacks.  Those will be beautiful football games and I pray we get one of those Week 18 at Mile High against the Chiefs in all-White.

Nah, I have a feeling they're gonna  up the throwback games by picking completely random opponents for them like the Panthers or the Falcons who are just gonna wear all-white to ruin the matchup

Gotta say, the pants stripe sucks. The front stripe needs to be thicker

Can't believe this needs to be said, but . . . at least it has a stripe

Looks good in action (tho not as good as blue socks). Still hope we actually see it on field this year. 

I'd set the O/U for the number of times that this combo actually sees action during the season over a monochrome or leggings combo at around 2.5

Is it bad that I replied to one of Carolina's tweets with this?

 

Probably one of the tamer replies the Hurricanes have received tbh

The Carolina loss is also brutal for them because look at their list of pending free agents . . .

I can't believe they're still going. You lost. If it wasn't pathetic before, it definitely is now (although there is something to be said about Islanders fans being happy for a Rangers win)

This but any playoff hockey that involves the team you cheer for

I'm gonna choose not to make any predictions.

I'll just say that the third period was inexcusable and they better clean their act up before Game 6.

Or not...

 

 

Felt like we had to wait forever to get some playoff OT in Round 1. Now we're getting OT galore, except for the Florida/Boston series, which is trading blowouts

It may be my lack of hockey expertise talking, but there was no point during the Bruins - Leafs series where I thought that either one of those teams were getting past Florida.

It felt like the Rangers/Devils series last year where the two teams beat each other to a pulp and the only thing on the line was bragging rights because either team would get clobbered against Carolina in the following round.

I saw the game-tying goal go in and I missed overtime. The first time I checked the score after OT started, the Rangers had already won. It's strange how I didn't get that sinking feeling that usually comes with the opponent scoring a late tying goal. This Rangers team is just unbelievable.

Just popped into this thread to say that all the singular name options are horrible and that trend should be killed with fire.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

What an unbelievable game.

This is such an awful number set, I think easily the worst in the league now. The rest of the Falcons current uniform set is fine but these numbers are what's really dragging them down.

Titans font is worse (Rams too because I hate gradients)

Ottawa, what are you doing??

My picks were close. Stars > Oilers and Rangers > Bruins and then the Rangers beating the Stars in the final. 

 

I think I would change it now that Dallas had to tough out 7 hard ones while the Avs have been sitting and waiting after averaging over 5 goals per game against the Jets. They look formidable again. Personally I'll be pulling hard for the Oilers to go all the way. 

If the Avs beat the Stars and draw the Oilers in the WCF, I don't see that ending well for Edmonton. Colorado has the high end offensive talent to outgun even McDrai, plus they can play a defensive, grindy-style of game if necessary. I could see that series having a couple wild shootouts, but I mostly see it being more like that game in March where the Avs won in the last second of 3v3 overtime.

I went 7/8 on my picks. Would've gone 8-0 had I not changed from Panthers to Lightning, but I felt like my bracket was Chalky Studebaker so I switched it. Turns out it was the most chalky first round I can remember. 

Who's your conference final and Cup picks? 

I'd say FLA/NYR and DAL/EDM

NYR over DAL

Chalk ass playoffs indeed.

Truly at a loss for words regarding the Leafs. What do you even do at this point? This core just can't get it done. Eight postseasons with this core, one series win.

The Titans should still be called the Tennessee Oilers btw

They changed the name because the history and tradition behind it did not resonate with Tennessee residents at all.
