But there's like 180 Canadian born players in the playoffs apparently. Blues have 18 xD

National Hockey League.

vladthegreat100 April 11, 2016 at 10:04 AM UTC

Pens beat Rangers.
Pens beat Capitals (Flyers ain't going through NY but close round. :p )
Then a good ol 2009, 2010 meetup with Detroit and Pens
Gonna be finals Pens vs Chicago where I'm hoping to say that Pens win with a 3-4 clutch ;]

Sevoo April 11, 2016 at 11:04 AM UTC

I just want Anaheim to win 0_o

smitdalt April 11, 2016 at 3:04 PM UTC

Well the hawks are the closest nhl team to me so I'm rooting for them, but I wish the oilers would be good for one year lmao

Oilers need another four 1st overall picks to win. McDavid is apparently their capitan next season so rip playoffs again.

ElementalAssasin April 11, 2016 at 9:04 PM UTC

im a montreal fan even though i live near toronto and I'm sad not see any canadian teams ;(

Numberz_ April 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

But mcdavid is a god
He's great but I don't completely agree with him possibly being the capitan next season. The Oilers have what it takes to be a playoff team they just need a bit more consistency. Once they get rid of Yak and possibly get Matthews this summer they'll be looking good offensively. All they need is to fix that awful defence, Talbot would be a lot better if he had decent d-men in front of him.

Numberz_ April 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

Redwings :D
I love the Wings too but some of the key players are too old. The young guys underachieve and the goalies are inconsistent.  .-.

JJTheGuy April 12, 2016 at 12:04 AM UTC

Hoping the Kings win.

R.I. P. The owner.

PieZ April 12, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

All I want to see is what happened last year when it was Ducks VS Blackhawks. Not with the same teams but the intensity of both teams wanting to win. It was great to watch.

King vs Sharks should be intense to watch in the first round. Both hit like crazy xD

Me2 dunZ worry

Did the caps make it? If so, caps.

Capenage April 13, 2016 at 6:04 AM UTC

It's a shame that no Canadian team made it to the playoffs. 

My predictions:

Stars vs Wild: I think Dallas beats Wild with 4-2 in matches. Dallas has been alot better than Minnesota this year.

Blues vs Blackhawks: Hawks win 4-2, Hawks has been a great team but Blues can change and take them. But i prefer Hawks

Ducks vs Predators: 4-3 to Predators. Predators has been great this year, but Ducks is a great team that should not be underestimated.

Kings vs Sharks: Kings is a liiittle better than Sharks. But Sharks home at the Shark Tank is hard. But kings win 4-2 in matches.

Panthers vs Islanders: Panthers is better than Islanders but Islanders could clinch a game or 2 but i believe that the Panthers have control of this, 4-1 to Panthers.

Bolts vs Red Wings: Bolts have had a better season than the Red Wings. I think the Bolts will take this series easy. 4-1.

Capitals vs Flyers: Capitals won the Presidents trophy, doesn't mean that they will beat the Flyers easy, Flyers is a good team. I think it will be pretty even 4-2 or 4-3 to Capitals.

Penguins vs Rangers: Penguins has been okay this season, so has Rangers. Neither teams has done their bestest, but since it is Stanley Cup it will be a great tempo. 4-3 to the Rangers.


Numberz_ April 13, 2016 at 10:04 AM UTC

Caps were the best in the league xD

ImNotYourTiger April 13, 2016 at 1:04 PM UTC

Agreed

Numberz_ April 14, 2016 at 2:04 AM UTC

Welp rip the Rangers chances...Hank gets a stick to the eye and leaves the game. ;c  down 4-1 in 3rd. ;-;
Plus Detroit already down 1-0 in the series to Tampa after losing 3-2.

Numberz_ April 14, 2016 at 4:04 AM UTC

Backes just scored to win the game 1-0 in OT for St. Louis. Elliott with 35 saves for the shutout. Blues take a 1-0 series lead over the Blackhawks.

Valyxn April 14, 2016 at 5:04 AM UTC

Pray for dem wings.

ElementalAssasin April 14, 2016 at 12:04 PM UTC

caps clearly will win

Numberz_ April 14, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

Game one of the Caps and Flyers series starts in just under 30 minutes. Should be a good game, I'm thinking Caps will win this game but the Flyers are hot right now. Opinions?

Numberz_ April 15, 2016 at 1:04 AM UTC

Caps win 2-0!!! Holtby with 19 saves for the shutout. Carlson scored the game winning goal. 

Florida leading New York 3-2 late in second. 

Dallas and Minnesota scoreless early in the first.

The best player last night for the Flyers was Mason. The flyers need to step up their offense if we're going to win.

Numberz_ April 15, 2016 at 4:04 PM UTC

The best player last night for the Flyers was Mason. The flyers need to step up their offense if we're going to win.
His play was surprising. I agree the Flyers need to play a full 60 minutes in front of him, offense sucked. Flyers defended well though all those blocks looked painful.

Vobaseball12 April 15, 2016 at 8:04 PM UTC

It's a great series though anyway. They're big rivals so it always makes it more exciting....and violent :D

Riilo April 16, 2016 at 3:04 AM UTC

And now moving onto the footy

Numberz_ April 16, 2016 at 3:04 AM UTC

The Lightning take a 2-0 lead in their series vs. The Red Wings as they win 5-2 in a penalty filled game. 58 penalty minutes for Tampa and 68 for Detroit most coming in the last minute of play. Tyler Johnson had 4 points in that game (2g, 2a).

Florida Panthers tie their series against the N.Y. Islanders. Roberto Luongo made 41 saves for his first playoff win in 5 years.

Blackhawks tie up their series by beating the Blues 3-2. The game winner was scored into an empty net.

Preds and Ducks tied 1-1 after the first.

I'll post the highlights in the OP tomorrow morning.

Numberz_ April 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM UTC

The fights ending the game last night xddd https://youtu.be/uy25gmtnnQ0
Also highlights added to the OP from last night's games. ;p 
Rangers and Pens play in under an hour.

Vobaseball12 April 16, 2016 at 11:04 PM UTC

Flyers can't even score on a 2 man adv. smh

nice to see some intensity though with the fighting

The ex Flyers capitan killing the penalty xD But they had soo many good chances ;-; Holtby is just too good.

Numberz_ April 17, 2016 at 12:04 AM UTC

Flyers finally scored after being shutout for 80+ minutes!

Yung_Metro April 17, 2016 at 12:04 AM UTC

Game #3 between the Red Wings and Lightning start in an hour from Detroit.

Blues beat the Hawks 3-2 to give them a 2-1 series lead this afternoon.

Numberz_ April 18, 2016 at 11:04 PM UTC

Flyers will host the Caps for game 3 down 2-0 in the series... They will honor their late founder and owner tonight. Should be one heck of a game!

Numberz_ April 19, 2016 at 11:04 PM UTC

Any news on Ducks?

Kinda happy Rangers are losing ( I still can't forget 2 years ago) but I feel bad af for Hank. Poor guy :l.

I also want Lightning to advance (third fav team) and Chicago, best team IMO.

Ducks are down 2-0 in the series vs Nashville but they changed goalies for tonight's game and are leading 3-0 end of the 2nd. 

Lightning can beat Detroit but they wouldn't get past Washington IMO. Caps are just playing too good right now they look almost unstoppable lol.

Numberz_ April 20, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

Andrew Shaw of Blackhawks was suspended 1 game for homophobic slurs/gestures towards NHL officials. He was also fined 5k for his actions and needs to attend a seminar about it... Blackhawks are down 3-1 to the Blues and will face elimination tomorrow night in St. Louis. rip Hawks.

Tonight the Caps can advance to the second round by beating the Flyers and sweeping the series.

The Panthers and Islanders also play later tonight with the Isles leading the series 2-1.

Stars & Wild + Sharks & Kings are the late games tonight. The Stars and Sharks hold the leads in those series 2-1.

Vobaseball12 April 20, 2016 at 11:04 PM UTC

Flyers will host the Caps for game 3 down 2-0 in the series... They will honor their late founder and owner tonight. Should be one heck of a game!
Way to honor Ed by throwing bracelets. Let's hope that the flyers can get at least 1 win tonight

Numberz_ April 22, 2016 at 1:04 AM UTC

Red Wings are out of the playoffs after losing 1-0 to Tampa Bay 4-1 series. Bishop shuts them out and Killorn with the game winner. Tampa is the first to advance to the 2nd round.

Capenage April 22, 2016 at 7:04 AM UTC

I thought that Blackhawks and Kings would win easily over Blues respectively Sharks but i were TOTALLY wrong, Blues is leading the series 3-2 and Sharks 3-1 i believe or 3-2.

Numberz_ April 23, 2016 at 4:04 AM UTC

Most of the games on ATM are just finishing overtime or starting it. The Two finals so far are:
2-0 win for the Flyers over Caps.
2-1 win for the Islanders in double OT over the Panthers.

Stars and Wild are tied 4-4 end of regulation.
Kings and Sharks tied 3-3 end of the second period.

Numberz_ April 23, 2016 at 5:04 AM UTC

The L.A. Kings are out of the playoffs! Sharks beat them 6-3!

RIP LA.

I had high expectations for them, but oh well.

Numberz_ April 23, 2016 at 4:04 PM UTC

Flyers coming back?!?
At this point I wouldn't be shocked. I believe they did something similar in 2010 coming back from 3 down to win in 7. Let's see what they can do! ;D

Numberz_ April 23, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

Rest in peace the N.Y. Rangers season. Penguins beat them 6-3 to advance to the 2nd round.

vladthegreat100 April 23, 2016 at 11:04 PM UTC

woooo. Pens go on!
Go Pens Go!

Numberz_ April 24, 2016 at 6:04 PM UTC

Caps beat the Flyers (finally) and will advance to the second round to play the Penguins. Good old Crosby vs. Ovi series should be lots of scoring.

Numberz_ April 24, 2016 at 10:04 PM UTC

Rip Minnesota Wild they lost their series 4-2 vs. Dallas Stars, so the Stars are moving on to the second round. They will play St. Louis or Chicago.

Numberz_ April 26, 2016 at 3:04 AM UTC

The defending Stanley Cup champs are out. St. Louis beats them 3-2 in game 7.

PieZ April 26, 2016 at 3:04 AM UTC

St. Louis vs Chicago may have been the best to watch. It was a great series and was happy to follow it. It will be interesting to see what pairs will make a good conference semi finals series.

The series was amazing. Pens vs. Caps should be a great series in the 2nd round and I wouldn't mind seeing Ducks vs. Sharks.

Numberz_ April 28, 2016 at 1:04 AM UTC

Isles take a 1-0 series lead.

vladthegreat100 April 28, 2016 at 2:04 AM UTC

Pens vs Caps tomorrow for game 1.
I have work tomorrow so rip, but I recommend you all to check it out. Should be great :]

Sharks and Preds on right now 0-0 going into the 2nd. Should also note that Caps defense man Brooks Orpik was suspended 3 games...

Numberz_ May 6, 2016 at 5:05 AM UTC

Sharks and Preds heading into the 3rd overtime.  o.o
