Playoffs around the league for 2018
OurLadyOfPatience:
Figured I would create a place for us to chat about the success or failure of other teams in the Playoffs and how they are looking.
The stats I read recently discussed the impact of the schedule for playoffs and what this year looked like vs last year. Interesting article, will try to locate it and post when I can find it.
Hoping for Preds/Knights for their respective matchups even though I’m a fan of Colorado I still think Preds are the better team.
Kings/Knights are a tough match up to watch, would have preferred they were paired up as a R2 or higher.

I'm hoping Nashville comes out of the west. I also like the Jets. I am probably one of the few people that don't want Vegas to advance.
In the east Tampa looks strong but if the Devils got some decent goaltending they would be right in their series. The Bruins look good. Pasternak is lighting up the Leafs by himself. A lot if teams by passed this guy in the draft including us. Instead we draft Vrana. Pasternak probably wouldn't have developed the same on another team. He has very good linemates. Being on a line with Bergeron has had to help.
DC_1908:
McPhees Goldenk Knights have one of the most dangerous lead in sports, 3-0 against The Kings . . .
I haven’t been able to watch most of this series, but sans a brawl or two, this is what playoff hockey should be.
Damn shame for either of those two to be out, particularly as either team could assuredly walk right through the East
DC_1908:
...they swept The Kings. . . (?). . . nope not a typo, They sweep The Kings
The team that won a cup after being down 3-0 in the first three rounds to win their last Cup. . .
Vegas first team to advance
Oh, and the first expansion to sweep their first playoff series, and I think to beat a Cup winner too.
Great Job GMGM!
