I think the Wings, like the Sharks are just good enough to make the playoffs and maybe make it through the first round.

Are you calling the Sharks Vikings????

I know I'm stating the obvious, but still can't believe no Canadian teams in the playoffs? What are all the Canucks going to do for 2 months?

He really was the best owner in sports. So many great stories, from when he walked into the Russian Team's dressing room and told them to take their panties off and go back out and play or they wouldn't get paid, to the time He kicked in the ref's dressing room door because they said his team should work on their golf game. He embodied everything we love in a hockey player, so passionate about his team and players, but also extremely compassionate and giving to the community, fans, kids, etc.

Lol, yeah he was awesome! Those Russians were gettin their ass whooped and said we were "bullying" them lmao..!! My Aunt was his hair stylist for about 25 years (she owns O'Hara & Company off White Horse Pike in Somerdale, NJ) so we got a chance (my brother, father, and I) to go to several behind the scenes events, games, practices, etc. He introduced me to the Legion of Doom when I was around 8-9 years old, and I got signed sticks and pucks from Lindros, Leclair, Brind'amour, Fedyk, Tocket, Brindamour, Hextall, etc.. My dad has a Philly Sports room at his house that is literally a 16x20 room with 10' ceilings, literally filled wall to wall with Philly sports stuff and the Flyers take up every bit of one of the 20' walls lol..

Stars don't have the defense or goal tending to do anything in the playoffs

They're not even top 15 in the league in goals against average.

Right? Teams play tight in Playoffs..Stars are not going to last in low scoring defensive games.

Doesn't matter if you give up half a goal more if you score a full goal more.

Seems like most of you are watching all of the teams out West. While you are enjoying that, I'll be watching....MY Washington Capitals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! play the Philthy Flyers. Here's to all of the hockey fans on this forum.

catcher22 · 04-14-2016, 06:26 PM

How the heck did I miss this thread? Watched almost every single Caps game for the last decade (yeah, lots).

Barry Trotz is beast and I'm so proud of this team. Playoffs start in an hour - GO CAPS!

If the Kings don't win it this year, I'm rooting for Ovie to finally get a ring

So regular season trends mean nothing? Pretty sure if Dallas scores 4 goals, they'll win most games. I don't care if they give up 1, 2, or 3.

No, regular season trends don't mean much in the playoffs. Dallas will not score 4 goals a game in the playoffs.
