OFFICIAL: 2015 - 2016 NHL thread

[Jlude]

So very surprised that the Blues have come out of nowhere.

[btimbit]

Love the Blues but another first rounder would have been sweet.

Hoping he cup goes to the west again. Pens and Lightning can both fuck themselves

[Mibz]

The Sharks are the only team left I can feel good cheering for, which pretty much guarantees their loss tonight.

[Kloubek]

Man, Dallas looked completely disinterested out there. They were weak across the board. It didn't even look like a playoff game.

Yeah, I'm cheering for the Sharks as well. If they make it to the next round, I think they have the offensive talent to make a push. I also think it would be really nice for their vets to finally get something for their dedication to the team over all these years they've failed to do much in the playoffs.

[btimbit]

Would be awesome to see Thornton get a cup.

Would also be awesome to see Weber get one (Although much more unlikely)

I'm torn on that series, although I think Blues/Sharks would be more interesting than Blues/Preds. As long as it goes to the West in the end I'll be happy

[Quizzes]

I like the Preds, so hoping they make it through. There's nothing better than an underdog story.

[Kloubek]

Actually, I like the Preds too. They are the one team from the West that I have absolutely nothing against. They are a classy organization with classy fans.

[btimbit]

They're probably my second favourite team, with my second favourite coach. If it wasn't for Riberio I'd love them.

vs
Penguins - Somehow someway goalie will be the issue in series
Lightning in 6

[sputnik]

I just want to see St. Louis win the cup after losing the Rams.

[max_boost]

The Lightning have been super impressive without Stamkos.
The Penguins with the noob goalie and Phil The Thrill.

Finally someone else from the West. Exciting hockey!!!!

[g-m]

also sharks in 6. I think I've watched every sharks game and every pens game so far. This playoffs has been AWESOME

[D'z Nutz]

Yeah, both teams have been pretty ridiculous in the off season, especially the Sharks.
