Some pretty outstanding matchups in the 2nd round. The only team I’d care about advancing is Washington for the sake of Ovi, but we all know how that will turn out. Vegas (7) - does the magic continue? Why not? Winnipeg (7) - not convinced by Nashville’s performance in round 1. WPG looked already to be at the level they’ll to be against Nashville Boston (7) - Some pretty iffy goaltending for this matchup. Honestly a toss up Washington (7) - Wash needs to steal a game with Malkin out of the lineup. If they can do that I like their chances
just don't want to see Pittsburgh win again anyone else can win and I'd be cool pretty neat that none of the Western teams left have won a Cup
Lightning in 7 over Bruins Penguins in 6 over Capitals Predators in 7 over Jets Golden Knights in 5 over Sharks
Just thankful Babcock is out of the playoffs. Rooting for the Knights and the Lightning moving forward!
Bolts are lucky the leafs lost, they would've swept them and the state makes so much from their trips to Disney world
I'm literally the only person I know who loves the current playoff format. I love how everyone assumes after this round that the series will be lopsided, as if Washington, Pittsburgh (the two time defending champion), Vegas, and San Jose are awful teams. I love having to battle through your division to get to the finals. But I guess I'm in the minority on that one haha
the teams with the best records in their respective conference should not be playing in the 2nd round its as simple as that
Also, Nashville and Boston have looked like poop. Fuck their records, Sharks played out of their minds and the Penguins are the Penguins.
