Quillz Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 So I noticed the Red Wings and Blackhawks aren't in the playoffs. I don't follow hockey too closely, but didn't the Red Wings have something like 24 consecutive playoff appearances? When's the last time both those teams missed in the same season?

crashcarson15 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 There’s guaranteed to be someone playing for the Cup that I don’t remember ever seeing win it. The Avalanche last won when I was 5, the Stars won their when I was 3. The Flames won before my parents met. The other 5 teams out west haven’t won it. That’s pretty neat.

Sport Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 In 2009, 2014, 2017, and 2018 I talked myself into believing there was a path to winning their first round series. No delusions here that the Blue Jackets will win this series. The playoff series drought will continue for the foreseeable future. If they win 2 games I'll be surprised, if they get swept I won't be. I'm thinking they lose Games 1 and 2 in ugly fashion, steal Game 3 and then get their doors blown off in 4 and 5. My biggest hope for this series is just to end the dubious "Allowed 3 or more goals in all 21 playoff games they've ever played" streak, but this is a hell of a team to try to do that against. . The Lightning are very very good, and worse, they're a terrible matchup for the Blue Jackets. So in all likelihood my personal playoff loss streak will hit 17, which dates back to the 1995 NLCS. Don't cry for me, I'm already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp49 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 This Islanders team reminds me a lot of the '93 team and I'm glad to be able to watch playoff hockey and care this year. I want them to advance and would be happy with a second round appearance. I'd also be very happy if Boston quickly dispatches the Leafs. Tampa is a buzzsaw and will be very difficult to handle but history's shown that teams like that do lose in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Lightning beat any of the other seven; Nashville would be a real fight and the Preds winning wouldn't be too shocking. Capitals remain the worst from the East and the worst overall. Caps should be favorites if they meet; they still look like the better team whenever the two play each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a repeat of last year’s ECF, not just cause it’d mean the total and absolute annihilation of the second round barrier and prove that last year wasn’t a fluke, but it would be an incredibly intriguing matchup. The Lightning have pretty much plowed through the entire NHL this season and the Caps have played them close basically every time IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
