2013 NHL Playoff Thread: BITCH WE MIGHT BE

[Wulfgang]

I can go to Cuba, can you?

Yes, it's called a connecting flight. Can you pronounce "about" without "boot"?

[Ishido]

Are we going to have a large spreadsheet to mock everyone when the Pen-Isles series goes seven?

Yup... will be compiling them until tomorrow game time as always.

[Richybear]

You act like the Oilers don't already have that shit on lock.
Don't worry, we'll leave Jones, Drouin, McKinnon around for those drafting at 2/3/4. We're going off the board a little bit and taking Emmanuel Lewis.
a) He gives us some size
b) TV shows tend to run from October to spring, so he's used to not having to do anything past April.

[Mazmaz]

I edited my picks into my last page post!

[Caiyuo]

I really don't know poopballs about a large segment of the league so this is half guessing, half Eddie Olczyk and/or Callisto said a thing about this team once, they're probably the goods

EAST

Islanders (8) vs. Penguins (1): Pens in 4
Senators (7) vs. Canadiens (2): Sens in ...6?
Rangers (6) vs. Capitals (3): Caps in 5
Maple Leafs (5) vs. Bruins (4): Bruins in 6

WEST

Blackhawks (1) vs. Wild (8): Hawks in 4
Ducks (2) vs. Red Wings (7): Ducks in 5
Canucks (3) vs. Sharks (6): Canucks in 6
Blues (4) vs. Kings (5): Kings in 5

Eddie Olczyk

who is on Marek vs. Wyshynski today btw holy fucking shit yay

[Izzy]

I can't figure out if the draft lottery will be on anywhere in the US.

[Izzy]

Oh NBCSN! I figured for sure it would be an NHLN thing.

[Caiyuo]

Fairly terrified about it although not aware of what the prospects are and how important they'll be for teams. All I've really heard about is the potential for all the tanking ever in the future for the 2015 prospect Connor McDavid. Is discussion around that mostly unspoken? I really have no context to know whether Florida really is just the ass worst or a combination looking for extra help.

[Ratatapa]

Canada still counts as a country?

Was it ever?

[Vaspinne]

Was it ever?

Basically in this draft, there seems to be 3 distinct tiers:

Elite

Jones
McKinnon
Drouin
Nichushkin (Russian factor will drop him)

Very good:

Barkov
Monahan
Nurse
Lindholm
Shinkaruk

Rest


Basically a top 3 pick is tier 1, a top 7 pick is tier 2, and after that is a crap shoot.

I think it's hilarious that, assuming someone in the top 4 wins the lottery, we are on a collision course with another potential Russian draft situation. I have to imagine Poile takes Barkov over Nichuskin at #4.

[Palin]

Can't go wrong with Barkov. Most of the Stars board is desperate to trade up to get him. Won't happen though.

GL to everyone's team as most on BG are true fans. If you're a bandwagon fan, GTFO and don't talk to me about hockey. Already ran into a few around the city. Riot rage in full mode!

Lol if Oilers get first pick overall again. Yo Florida, trade your top 5 pick for Luongo. HAHAHAHAAH!

[Callisto]

Wanted to point out that Columbus has three first rounders this year, they could make some extremely interesting trades at the draft.

[KoalaTrap]

Can't wait to see where Jones goes. I think he might do wonders for the league in gaining new fans that normally wouldn't watch hockey.

also someone tell me how to get ahold of that sack of shit Bregor so he can submit a proper write-up

[Vaspinne]

Calgary and Columbus have 20% of the 1st round picks between the two of them, lol. That being said, that's at least 4 teams that have nothing in this year's first round

[Callisto]

SHIT

Vaspinne posting reminded me that I forgot my *offer not valid in Alberta line
