2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

[dsaavedra]

The 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs are starting this Wednesday and I can't wait to watch 2 months of the best and most intense hockey in the world. I'm really hoping to see the Washington Capitals go all the way this year!

Where are all the hockey fans at - I know you're out there! What teams are you rooting for? What are you brewing for the playoffs? How hyped are you!

Let's Go Caps!

Blackhawks. #dynasty

Caps don't have a chance. The East-biased media has it's head up it's arse as usual. It will be Dallas or Anaheim. All I know for sure is the Blues will lose to the Hawks in 6. This is the only team in the West we (the Blues) can't beat.

 

[JohnSand]

Rooting for the patchwork Islanders....you never know!

 

[Yesfan]

I haven't even watched any NHL this year. I was a bit surprised to see Nashville in it. I thought they were too many games behind to get in.

GO PENS ended the year like we should have been playing all year. Hopefully they can carry the momentum into the playoffs and get it done this year.

Whaaaaaat? No way. Caps have the best chance Really I just hope Philly doesn't beat them up too bad right off the bat (maybe Philly will wear themselves out first?) and make them sore for Pittsburgh or NYR.

Here's hoping you're wrong and the Blues beat the Hawks swiftly, I can't stand that team. I wouldn't be upset with Dallas going far in the West but I am definitely rooting for Minnesota!

GO PENS

Looking forward to watching the standard first round exit by the Wings this year. We just barely squeaked into the brackets, but 25 years in a row ain't bad!

Haha! I wouldn't mind watching them play for a while either, I have really enjoyed watching Howard play the few times I've watched wings games this season.

 

[Jimbodaman]

Let's go Red Wings! 25 years and it was a close one, time to buckle down and take care of business

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

Lets Go Red Wings!

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Hoping the Flyers get it done this year. Yeah. I know. Do it for Ed.

 

[popgunandy]

Huge, HUGE, HUGE Kings fan here. My team will either flame out early or go all the way. Seriously, whoever survives the first two rounds on the West Coast (Kings, Ducks, or even the Sharks...with no disrespect meant to Nashville) will be tough to beat.

In the East I think it's finally time for the Caps - they went and got Justin Williams so that's got to get them somewhere.

Go Kings Go!

Wal', seems the B's pi$$ed themselves right out of it ... thanks Rask ...

Wings snuck in as per normal the past few seasons. I'm cautiously hopeful they can mind the defense in their own end and get good clearing passes and build the offense from that. If they can do that, and shoot more, I think they can be competitive.

And we'll have to see which Goalie is going to help them in the playoffs. I'm kind of glad Howard has been better again. He's got a lot more experience. I just really hope the Defense can help whoever it is. Lot of young guys who need to learn to protect a lead and help the goalie.

And I see Boston pulled a Toronto this year by crapping out at the end of the season. Too bad. They had every chance to stay in it the past couple of weeks, but jus tlept losing.

 

[smurfjuice]

I can't understand how Rask thinks he run across the crease on his knees ...

 

[IloveWorts]

i haven't even watched any nhl this year. I was a bit surprised to see nashville in it. I thought they were too many games behind to get in.

Hawks fan. I'm at peace with the realization that there will be no cup this year. That's ok - the last six years have provided more than my fair amount of fandom joy. I'm just pissed that the Wings snuck their way in...yet again...

 

[brewster2012]

Go Blackhawks! Houston transplant...Chicago native.

 

[BrewerBrad82]

GO WILD!

 

[Homercidal]

GO WILD!

Those awful jerseys tho

 

[blizz81]

The Wild sure have been on fire lately....

 

[Natdavis777]

Red Wings! Defense really needs to show up though. I'd like to see Datsyuk go out a champ!

 

[Rhetorik]

Canada checking in:

Who the **** cares?!?!

 

[k1ngl1ves]

Let's go Ice Crew! Oh... and Hawks! Whooooooooohooooooooo!

Hey Arturo - I hope you are wrong this year, for yourself, and for all other Blues fans. They've played the Hawks tough in the past several meetings... I hoping they can make it past round 1 for a change. Typically they fold like a cheap tent in a gale force wind... even after putting up great seasons...again and again and again.

GO BLUES!:rockin:

Proud Hawks fan since 2010 I suppose (like most of em). LGRW

Anaheim's 3rd jerseys have got to be the ugliest uni's in the history of athletic competition.

They are better suited for a community service road detail.

They're so hideous I won't post a pic for fear the it would get the thread closed.
