Oh man, this IS exciting. I'm gonna have to do another beer run, just in case I have to drink away some failure.

@ Selamis If CHI won in 4 it would be the most retarded, spectacular crash since... since...

Boston's Baseball team and Hockey team choked in the same year. Isn't that last year?

[Penthesilea]

The Sox didn't make the playoffs last year, so I guess that's a choke...?

lol

If for some reason this ever happened, and it shouldn't, I'd feel bad for Canuck fans, like straight up. It'd go down more storied than any San Jose choke ever.

I would probably throw up for 24 hours straight. Honestly right now I just want the Canucks to win a game at home against Chicago, we lost all the games in Vancouver in last years series. I'll start with one home win and ramp up my expectations from that.

If you're a little creative, notice how in the Bruins/Habs version we have the word CHOKE.

Honestly, I would pick the Kings to upset but without Kopitar and Williams with on shoulder, I dont see it happening, then again, if we had both of them, we wouldnt even be facing San Jose in the first round.

Sportsnet panel talking picks, gets to Detroit series.

Lead "...and you have winnipeg losing to the wings-"

Kypreos "Oh man, that's Cruel"

MacLean "Why would you do that today of all days?"

[Bregor]

Why is anyone surprised hockey didn't take in a FREAKING DESERT?

Mixed up my mise-au-jeu prediction, marked down NYR in 6 instead of Washington.

2 dollar bet, PHX in 6, NYR in 6, Buff in 5...720$ return. And you can bet I'll jump out of my window if I get phoenix and buffalo right, and washington takes it in 6.

[Penthesilea]

nvm

[NynJa]

Actually I'm about 35 feet above my driveway, but I can land on my head instead of my feet / torso to up the pain.

[Callisto]

Wings/Coyotes starting nowish, those who need a feed PM me
