I meant to make my predictions this morning but overslept so I'll hold the L for the Rangers/Canes series if you wanna accept the games series that haven't started yet.

TB WSH BOS PHI
CAR 4
NYI 3
PIT 4
TOR 4

COL DAL STL VGK
EDM 3
WPG 4
NSH 3
VAN 4

Fuck all y'all taking Columbus.

This game is crazy physical so far

[Wulfgang]

What a game thus far. Goal 61s in and a decent fight within 3 mins. Very unstructured play, but quite fun and surprisingly physical. Predictions below:

TB BOS WSH PHI
CAR 4
NYI 4
PIT 3
TOR 5

COL VGK DAL STL
CHI 4
WPG 4
NSH 4
VAN 5

In news that is kind of stunning at first but then not surprising at all when you think about it, Ryan Kesler is a piece of trash

And people feel for it during the Sedin week event.

I personally never believed his “self reflection” .

Great first period. I went from lukewarm on these covid playoff games to pretty fucking hyped in no time.

As an aside, I was going through my hockey gifs/images folder during intermission and found this. Definitely spent like 2 hours making this in Paint.

Rangers PP looking like complete ass

[Obsidian]

Rangers PK not looking much better.

[Cail]

Jesper Fast to the locker room

Out for the game.

Also, all the penalties being called, just like in the exhibition.

Also also, wtf Rangers

[Wulfgang]

Yeah, Rags don’t look very good. Or maybe the Canes are just good; can’t really tell yet.

[Cail]

Finally Rags!

Very nice redirection

[Wulfgang]

And a slick zone play + goal for the Rags; signs of life

[Cail]

ALL. THE. PENALTIES.

[Cail]

Everyone's favorite, Pierre McGuire, is in the Western bubble

[Cail]

God damn it
