Pittsburgh rested Crosby and Letang. Washington hasn't really rested anyone. Chicago rested a bunch of guys today, as did the Rangers. Boston lost 6-1 at home in a must win game. Detroit managed to lose a big game to the Rangers.
Jets closing the season on a tear, with wins at SJ and LA. Scheifele and Wheeler have been incredible this past month. LA could've clinched the Pacific with a win tonight. Up 3-0 in the second, they never scored again and lost in a shootout. Now they wait and see what the Ducks do in Washington. Kings hoping Washington plays their starters again, but it seems likely that some guys will be rested. Last game of the season, tail end of a back to back. This is the makeup game from the blizzard. The entire league was in action today, and this was supposed to be the final day of the regular season, but two makeup games were needed so they extended the season by a day. Philly at Islanders is the other game, but that is now meaningless. Both teams are in the playoffs.
There goes my Boston pick, I really thought they would stop their skid and turn it around to get into the playoffs.
they were huge favorites (-240, in other words risking 240 to win 100) against the hapless Senators, who were sitting a lot of guys for some reason. Led 1-0 after 1. Outscored 6-0 the rest of the way.
I forgot to bump this last night. Haha can't get them right all the time RM! Isles with an interesting choice tonight: win and play the Pens or lose and play Florida. Personally, I would knock a few pucks into my own net. Early thoughts on Flyers-Caps: Bring it. Caps finally played hard last night and dominated the Blues in a must win game for them.
Capitals with late news that they are resting guys, like I expected Ovechkin, Carlson, and Backstrom obviously Grubauer was starting anyway edit: orpik also sitting
Ducks are gonna wrap that up, and yet I feel much more confident in the Kings being the road team in the latter rounds.
Williams given the #1 star for playing his 1000th game (extended pregame ceremony for him) Ducks win the Pacific
San Jose is always screwed when April rolls around. Big news today, Datsyuk retiring. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/1...-star-pavel-datsyuk-plans-retire-nhl-playoffs
Let's get our NHL Playoffs Round 1 And Cup Picks Up. This has honestly been the toughest for me to pick in years. Most are toss-ups. East: Capitals over Flyers in 6. Penguins over Rangers in 7. Panthers over Islanders in 7. Lightning over Red Wings in 6. West: Ducks over Predators in 7. Sharks over Kings in 7. Stars over Wild in 5. Blackhawks over Blues in 6. Cup Pick: Capitals over Blackhawks in 7. If not now, When?
vbookie, winner of Cup http://forums.theganggreen.com/sportsbook/2016-stanley-cup-winner.77/ my predictions later this week (but my feelings have mostly been posted) strange that the Anaheim series is starting Friday. Everything should've really started Wednesday or Thursday. Scheduling conflicts with the arena?
Here's a little diddy I wrote: Oh, Canada You have no playoff teams watch USA pursue Stanley Cup Dreams! When your teams all fold And your rinks are old And your stars forget to play Then you look on south And open your mouth There's great teams on the way! God keep your fans Furious and peed Oh Canada you have no playoff teams Oh Canada you have no playoff teams!
