Any predictions?

My two pics still stand. Blues vs Bruins. Rest of the bracket is shit...

Intersted to see how the 7 gamers go against the 4 gamers that have been sitting for a couple weeks in the east.

[Ralph335]

Feel like the East is super open for Boston now.
But who knows, maybe Columbus will keep their hot streak going even after that long break.

[UncleWede]

So, again nobody north of the border????

[Captain Blood]

Stars and Blues tonight! Its going to be PHYSICAL!

My dad is going Monday night. I am jealous......

[UncleWede]

Pavelski unlikely for game 1.

Does the NHL even have a concussion protocol???? I bet they don't ever even tell us how many stitches he got in his dome ;(

[Ralph335]

Upper body injury or Lower body injury.

That's about the most detail you'll get for injuries in the NHL

The NHL has concussion medical personnel, which monitor all games.

2nd round has been great so far...lots of OT's and a bunch of back and forth action. Can't see any clear cut favorites yet...

Don't care about the money in my poll...rooting for Canes and CBJ in the east.

Guys diving at eh blue line to keep the puck in the zone: don't see THAT all that often in the regular season!

Seeing a lot more blocked shots also.

[Ralph335]

Isles lose their mojo now that they're not playing on the Island? Didn't expect the Canes to be up 2 zip.

That's part of why playoff hockey is best hockey. The 110% efforts!

I understand why it can't be replicated for a full 82 game season. But man it is fun to watch when players give their all.

I saw a comment on another board:

"Unpopular opinion - it is bad to sweep the first round of the playoffs."


I kind of agree. Canes are in full playoff mode, having been down 2-0 to the Caps in the first round. Isles had an easy road in the first with a depleted Pens team.

Sweeping has really sucked for CBJ.

BTW, Marchand is a DBag for the hit to the back of Harrington's head. But we already knew that.

Marchand is horrible. He does this stuff on purpose. He looked around and found the moment the refs weren't looking. Then runs away as he always does...

[UncleWede]

Couture with the hat trick just proves that Sharks/Kings could be won by the kings if only Burnsy and Thornton weren't there

[UncleWede]

Dunkin has the best ad on the boards!

[cotmfk]

Go Canes go?

[Kelse92]

Well, Stars and Blue has been shaping up as a great series. So thankful to have had season tickets cause we would have otherwise paid through the nose to go to any of these playoff games where our seats are. (Catch 22 since they also would sell for a nice profit)
But regardless, it’s been great entertainment and hoping the Stars can keep the momentum rolling into the next round. Last nights game was fantastic. Monday was a bit rough on the feelings as a Stars fan

Did you see the replay of Bennington trying to fight the Allen Americans Earlier this year?

I listen to John Scott’s podcast and I think he mentioned it but I don’t recall seeing the Bennington flight against the Americans... man, he has some longstanding beef though with the Stars and the local farm teams though if that’s the case...

It's like he was wearing a Shane Churla jersey underneath........
