Flyers vs. Kings for the finals

The fact that you pick Philly to win anything

You deserved to lose

I think the Hawks take this game tonight. Why? Because that's just how the playoffs have gone for several years now, Blues bust in the playoffs and Hawks find a way to win. Ladd has been putting up points this series and a goal last game, Shaw is also. I would bet on the Hawks to win.

I don't think you can point to precedent for these playoffs after the Sharks and Caps won.

Well since the Panthers shit the bed and fucked me over in my pool lets go Hawks!

Its still early. Sharks will choke, just wait for it.

Caps look like they might actually be over their choking.

I agree with you for everything except the Blues/Hawks.

Care to make it interesting?

Hard to say. Sharks might finally be doing what they should have for so many years, or this is just a glimpse and they'll go back to the way they were before. LA played really bad down the stretch and were not the team that won a few cups.

I'm slightly bitter with the Sharks.... I've loaded up on them in playoffs pools for several years thinking they couldn't continue to lose year after year. Fuck that team haha

But I agree, they look to be rolling this year... but....

Yeah both the Sharks and Caps have been really solid this post season.

The Sharks looked like they had enough of the Kings' shit that series. Jones has been pretty lights out so far.

I have the Hawks vs Pens finals with the Hawks winning it all (again) and bet my buddy tonight that the Blues will choke yet again.

I'm probably the only person that I know that thinks the Pens will beat the Caps, but like the Blues, they just don't have the mental toughness. They let the Flyers (sans Couturier) take them to six games. Let's not forget the Caps scored 2 goals in the last three games of the series. I just don't think they can close out.

Anyways, GO HAWKS!

They ran into a hot goalie that stole 2 games.

Philly scored 6 goals and took the series to 6 games. If you think the Caps choked you are mistaken.

The caps outshot philly 44-11 and lost 1-0.

Unemployed Mibz is uninteresting Mibz

[Jlude]

Unemployed Mibz could have made a quick hundy sheet

[rage2]

He regretted not making the bet haha.

[Mibz]

Haha, it would've been against the spirit of my comments anyway. I didn't mean to insinuate that the Blues would win, only that they could. My point was that the game could've gone either way.

Somewhat coincidentally, I'm now employed. We'll rain cheque that bet for a later game

The Oilers have been bad the last 10 years. But how bad? This guy pulls the numbers

Part 1:
http://www.coppernblue.com/2016/4/21...ade-of-failure

Part 2:
http://www.coppernblue.com/2016/4/26...e-the-last-ten

Over 786 games the Oilers compiled a 298-398-90 record. That works out to an 82-game average of 71.6 points, in a league where the other 29 teams averaged 92.4.
...
In the points column the Oilers trail the 29th place Maple Leafs by 86 points, a total large enough that if the Oilers could all but [count] one of their last ten seasons and still be in last place overall. Basically the Oilers got lapped over the last decade.

[rage2]

I'm going to laugh if they win the lottery on Saturday. They're about to run into some serious cap issues with all those 1st overall contracts.
