Why stop there. Lets just put the 16 best records in the entire NHL in the playoffs. Who needs divisions.

With all due respect to Leaf fans, no one cares about your post-elimination posturing, the rules are the rules and the NHL plays its games according to them. Saying they should be different doesn't change reality.

Those weren't the rules for most of my hockey watching life though so I think discussing it is warranted.

Just be happy we didn't get the chance to beat you in the first round

While we're speaking of hypotheticals just be happy the Sens don't have Crosby....

[kimmer]

sensfanjosh isnt a sens fan anymore bro
that was established a while ago, hes just a hockey fan now

[hong57]

he's a baseball fan more

[hong57]

My guess

WSH in 6
OTT in 6

NSH in 6
EDM in 7 (hopefully)

Right on for OTT and NSH.. might get 3 out of 4 correct (including numbers).. and all 4 correct if WSH wins..

If Washington wins I heard last night their arena is booked all weekend..?

While the Sens don't get the best ratings, taking on Crosby or the Capitals should offset it. Karlsson has been the most exciting player in the playoffs.

I'd like to see Washington. They've dominated the Pens in the series, I cannot believe it's going to game 7. Caps could have easily won in 5 games.

Columbus' season was only what it was because of Bobrovsky. Unfortunately, Torts is going to win the Jack Adams because of it. The team isn't very good, and that winning streak — albeit an insane one — really masked a mediocre team with an elite goalie.

I picked WSH/NSH from the start. Let's go!

[Handsome&FairMike]

Fleurrrrryyyyyyy

[Shoalzie]

This game painfully reminds me of the '09 Finals Game 7...Fleury was a beast in that game.

Same old Caps. So disappointing. I really don't want Crosby+Malkin to touch the cup again.
