My heart is with the Kracken.  I must say Dallas probably wins the series but I hope I’m wrong here.  I hope Seattle and Portland support this team who like Vegas before, have been quite a surprise in first year.  Jalen Swartz must come through!  

How would you like to be scalping and selling the whiskey at this game?  Imagine the stampede to see the games in Toronto.  And I’ll bet that the games in Florida will have more Leafs fans than Panther fans. Even when winning Florida can’t draw.  I am shocked they still have a team.  

This could go to OT just like last night’s get.  The Devils should be hell bent on protecting

Poll is now open

So who’s your pick here?

I feel the winner here has a shot vs Carolina and I am going to pick the winner to beat them.  Not that it will matter.  Toronto will beat them.

Vegas wins this in 6.  Maybe the most balanced team left?  My pick to represent the West unless Dallas plays lights out.  I believe the West comes down to Vegas and Dallas.  Why Edmonton is slightly favored is mind boggling to me. Why? McDavid?   

The Leafs will win this series.  Count on it. Too much firepower for these lucky Turkeys that pulled off the upset.  I am betting Toronto in game one also as I feel Florida will be mentally trapped in their win over Boston for some time.  Still celebrating until Matthews, Marner and Tavares awaken them.  

Well my vote is Dallas in 6.  My heart is with Seattle.  I am cheering for Seattle. So Hope I a wrong..  I just feel that Dallas has too much offense.  Now Seattle will need Jalen Swartz to show up big time. Grabaur is very good.  But I have stated Dallas is my 2nd choice in the West behind Vegas.

I say Toronto vs Las Vegas final now that Boston out.  I have a small wager on those two making it.

McDavid vs Eichel next round.

I would love to see Bob stand on his head again and beat the Bruins tonight. It looks like Montgomery is going with Swayman ...

Too bad the Kings lost last night. I actually want the better team to win.  Boston. A Florida win to me puts the Leafs in the final.  Even if Boston wins, I kind of like the Leafs chances still.  They will be a tough out.  Go Kraken also.

Seattle will attempt to do what Leafs did.  Win 3 games on the road in this series.  Pressure should be on Colorado.  But is it?  I’d love to see Seattle win.  Even though Vegas or Dallas will be too much for winner

Would it make you feel any better if it were a bum like Kyle Okposo instead?  

Maybe.  Sorry TFG but you had to know that the Leafs had the law of averages on their side.  I wonder if the Leafs want Florida to pull the upset?  Leaving them clearly as the best team left in the East?  

So scary to see a bum like Jake McCabe in playoffs.  

I am hoping Seattle can pull it off in game 7

I think the Bear gets them in game 7.

And we are going to game # 7

 

 

Just bewildered by this.  

OMG!   Now Boston must win game 7!  I still pick the Leafs to beat Tampa and now a big shot to get to finals.  Boston did not want this.  I am surprised.  I do not think Florida is that good

This is a surprise for sure...no one would think seattle would be up in the series, yet here we are.

 

 

Well I picked them.  I hope they close them out tomorrow.  

Maybe Boston is being softened up by Florida for the Leafs to beat them?  To me the East will come down to Boston vs Toronto.

Welp, the storm turned out to be a light drizzle event, the Canes' traditional horn broke just before the game and Carolina lost. #karma.

 

(I still think they will win in Long Island though)

I thought they would end the  Islanders season. Boston should move on tonight?

Toronto is going to win this series.  Did you not see this coming when my young Sabres beat them last two?  Tampa I mean.  The Leafs have weapons.  Formidable ones.  This is the team Boston should fear. I have future wagers on both Leafs and Boston meeting Vegas in the final. Yes, I believe Vegas is the best in the West.  What a gutsy win by Toronto being down 4-1 and coming back to throttle the has been Tampa team.  Go to the beach Cooper.  Ill see you there.

Boston will win this series.  But the sledding will be much tougher when they see the Leafs

Bunting OVERDID it now...
He elbows Erik Cernak in the head, is being given a 5 minute major.

Being reviewed, but if the Lightning end up with a 5 min PP, they better come up with at least two!

%$#@ you, Bunting...

Leafs show up and now its on.  I still like Toronto to win this series and maybe go to the finals.

Jim Montgomery says a number of the Bruins are ill right now.

 

 

If those Bruins are sick, that explains game 2.  Boston will win the series.

Pulling for the Canes since I am a local now. Also as someone on this forum has pointed out multiple times, the Islanders are frauds and it really should be the Sabres in that playoff spot. 
 

Thanks Kevyn Adams!! 

Well its the truth.  That crybaby bitch ass coach of the Isles is pathetic
