pilldoc Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 No offense @hf101 but we have to wait and see what happens today. http://www.sbnation....s-matchups-2014 • Minnesota will play the winner of the Central, STL or COL• Chicago will play the Central's No. 2 seed, COL or STL Who wins the Central? The Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues enter the season's final day with 111 points each. St. Louis hosts Detroit at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and TSN, while the Avalanche are on the road at Anaheim at 8 p.m. ET. Colorado will win the tiebreaker should the teams be tied at the end of the day, but if the Blues win and Colorado loses, St. Louis will take the Central Division crown.The team that wins the Central will face the Minnesota Wild in the first round. The team that finishes second will face the Chicago Blackhawks. Both the Avs and the Blues will have home ice advantage in their first round matchups.

pilldoc Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ok with the Blues losing to Detroit today, that now wraps up the Divison for Colorado. Colorado will win with the division (even if they lose tonght to the Ducks) based on the tie breaker of Regulation + OT wins. Colorado will now play Minnesota in 1st round.Chicago will play the Blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Blues are having a hard time finding the back of the net right now. Miller will keep it close. I am assuming Toews and Kane are back for the playoffs. IF that is the case gotta go with the Hawks. Blues can't win if they don't score. Miller will steal a game or two. Chicago in 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 There is going to be one unhappy golfer. Hawks in 6. Possibly 5. The wheels are off and St. Louis is suffering from Lake Erie stench. There's going to be one unhappy golfer who blames the owner and the GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Love the Blues here. And to me the big thing is they escaped having to play the Kings in round one. To me the kings would have been their worst matchup Hard to disagree with that. Very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 @Hockey Junkie Rick, All playoff series are best of 7. They did away best of 5 a long time ago in galaxy far..far...away......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 One guy here has posted the 5 format. So he confused me no one posted a 5 game format. HF posted what the "SEASON" series was for each match-up. The Western Conference teams play each other more often because there are less teams in the Western Conference then in the Eastern Conference. It was only used to be a helpful tool in picking your winners instead of you have to do all the research. Don't make it more complicated than what it truly is.

ruxpin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 OK Boss. Miller will make things simple. He will stone them and earn that big check. Too bad he doesn't play for Tampa. He could get stoned with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think the Blues are officially in "Death Spiral" mode. Hawks in 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Its Miller time in the Windy city folks. Steve Ott, will be a big help. Go Blues!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why I'm taking the Hawks. Not only has St. Lou stopped scoring, Miller has gone into bum mode. He's got 3 wins in his last 11 starts. Blame that on scoring? .857 .925 .692 .818 .862 .1.000 .852 .964 .880 ..833 .852 Those are some pretty bad numbers for a backup, let alone the Messiah. Add in the fact the Blues have yet to figure out what the Hawks have...how to win in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Both teams stumbled and bumbled down the stretch, I am going with the Blues in six. I believe they have enough skill to win against a Hawks team that looks very tired and not quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 St. Louis will lose because they still can't score. Whether in this round or the next. Miller will finish with a sub-2 GAA and a .920+ SV% and be blamed for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Whither Toews and Kane ?If those guys are 90% I take the Hawks in 6.If those guys are not I take the Blues in 6Hitch plays tight checking playoff hockey year round, they need to score, he needs to take them to happy hour to loosen them up or something.too much talent to play like ass like they have been.

AJgoal Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Both teams are banged up, but the Blues moreso and Miller is looking like he's rounding into his playoff form. Hawks in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes. Please don't confuse us Flyer fans. Blues in 9. Miller scores 11 touchdowns and holds the the Hawks to a sub-3.00 ERA. 1st step towards winning that Grey Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Miller will take tickets, serve as an usher, drive the Zamboni, play goal, take an odd shift at center while remaining in his goalie gear, quarterback the Blues PP, return correspondence with his favorite pen pal HJ and then personally thank everyone as they exit the arena after the game with a handshake.Despite the Ryan Miller show, the Blackhawks will win in 6 Edited April 15, 2014 by Samifan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris922 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I actually took the Blues. I dunno why really. But I figure Rick can't be wrong ALL the time, and this one looked the closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
