Did you do your bracket on NHL.com? I just did mine. Had to throw a few upsets and whatnot in. Who do you have? Here is mine:
PS- Go hawks and F the wings and wild. Ducks too.


blues own wild in 5
Hawks in 6
ducks sweep the jets
flamers in 7

habs in 6
Bolts in 6
rangers in 7
caps in 6

Bracket then goes:

hawks over blues
ducks over flames
tampa sadly over habs
rangers over caps

Then hawks over ducks and bolts over rangers. hawks and bolts in the cup with hawks on top again!

I did mine but I don't remember who I picked. Went with my gut, didn't make any changes once I set it, and that's that.

we have the same exact first round.
same second round except I went with the Blues over the 'hawks
third I have Blues over Ducks and Rangers over TB
Rangers over Blues in the Cup.

My initial setting was Chicago over TB in the final but I had to change it up as almost everyone in my group had that. If everyone is the same it's tough to win the pool money.

Where the hell is King? I expected him to chime in here...

That Flames-Ducks game was great last night.

Go Blackhawks!

I was rocking the first rd until the wild beat the blues. Had the sweep and everything. I hate the wild so much!



And the hawks are sexy!

I can't believe the Blues... they're the new Sharks. Every season I think they will take the next step but just don't. They are very deep both offensively and defensively but are missing a strong goaltender and maybe that one elite star that can take a game over. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have the 'hawks play the Wild as they are an easier team to play, not near as physical.

My bracket isn't doiong well in the West... I have the East locked down though.

I am here! 'Hawks look good. The Predators were a much stronger team than I gave them credit for. The Wild...they're weird. I guess we're a bad matchup for them because we have the ability to mitigate their neutral zone play with our finesse game, but man they don't like that great. But they were superb against the Blues, and Saint Louis had a very potent hockey team.

Dubnyk is looking normal again... he was otherworldly for a while and that made them look better than they were I think.

How much do you think he hates Kane? Kane habitually styles on him.

lmao he has such a quick release. Dubnyk actually faked himself out on that shot, he thought for sure Kane was going short side top corner. Gotta give it up for Crow as well... He's been good since gaining the net again.

I think he really hates Patrick Kane.

I also know that I'm horrified of the Ducks.

The Ducks we knew were going to be good. And we knew that they would destroy the flamers, but even then I don't think anyone knew they would be playing the way they are right now. They remind me a lot of the Kings championship teams. Big, Strong, Fast, relentless and no major weaknesses.

I am pulling for the hawks but the ducks series is going to be really really tough.

One of my buddies who plays collegiate hockey described the Ducks/Flames series as a bunch of talented veterans who are starting to be conscious of a window of opportunity versus a bunch of young guns who are in over their heads.

Pretty much.


Its a good think Kane and Teows are warming up. We will have be clicking on all cylinders to take down Getzlaf and the quack.
