Default Stanley Cup NHL hockey playoffs.

For Professional Hockey fans, it's that time of year again. I'm talking about the NHL playoffs. Did your favorite team make it this year ? The playoffs get underway this week with 16 teams vying for the chance to hoist the Stanley cup as the best team in the NHL and a years worth of bragging rights. Last year, the Penguins won their 2nd Cup in as many years. Will the Penguins win 3 championships in a row ?


In the Eastern Conference


Metropolitan Division


  1. Washington Capitals
  2. Pittsburgh Penguins
  3. Philadelphia Flyers


Atlantic Division


1. Tampa Bay Lightning
2. Boston Bruins
3. Toronto Maple Leafs




Wild card


Columbus Blue Jackets and New Jersey






In the Western Conference




Central Division


  1. Nashville Predators
  2. Winnipeg Jets
  3. Minnesota Wild




Pacific Division


    1. Vegas Golden Knights
    2. Anaheim Ducks
    3. San Jose Sharks


Wild Card Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche




Hopefully, your favorite team is here. Do you have a favorite team to win it all and claim the Stanley Cup ?

And if you just came out of a coma....Vegas Golden Knights.

Local boy Gerard Gallant is a heavy favorite for coach of the year.

The Team I follow most among the NHL-team didn't make it to the playoff.

There are still lots of good hockey to watch.

I agree. I think for the Western Conference, the Vegas Golden Knights will be hard to beat. They have been the most consistent the whole season. The knights also acquired enforcer Ryan Reeves from the Penguins in a 3 way trade that also saw Derrick Brassard go to the Penguins.

In the Eastern Conference, I will go with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins have not been the most consistent team but when everything is clicking, the Penguins are hard to stop. Having acquired Center Derick Brassard from the Ottawa Senators also fills a much needed hole as well. This may well be the Washington Capitals year though.

I think there will be a lot of great hockey games to see Markus. It will be interesting to see which 2 teams are left standing when the dust settles though.

One thing is for sure in the playoff the players will go all in.

The experience I have by watching Ice Hockey is that during the ordinary rounds the player want to win the game, but when it comes to the playoff the players really wants to win the game and therefore go all in.

The games hereafter will a lot more intense

I have had the chance to catch a few playoff Hockey games and they have all been pretty good. Playoff teams know it's time to play big or go home. As expected, the Vegas Golden Knights have had a strong showing, dispatching and sweeping the Los Angeles kings in 4 games from the playoffs. This was particularly satisfying as the Kings have been putting the Knights down.

I have also caught a few Penguin and flyers Games. The flyers have been beaten 7-0, 4-1 and 5-0 in games 1, 3 and 5, respectively. The Flyers looked lethargic in 3 of the 4 games played.

I think the Philadelphia Flyers team should go to Star Bucks coffee House and sit there and not order anything. When the police come, they can come and take them to jail for vagrancy. Maybe in jail, the Flyers can bond and get themselves together and figure out how to erase a 3-1 deficit.


*Edit* the score was 7-0, 5-1 and 5-0 in favor of the Penguins in games 1,3 and 4 respectively. The Flyers beat the Penguins 5-1 in game 2.

Go Bruins!

That said I'm paying a lot more attention to the NBA finals at the moment so hockey takes a back seat for me

Yea that series has me conflicted. Life time Leaf fan who grew up in Ontario but also like the Bruins. Adam McQuaid is from the Island and my grandson and his dad met him and got their picture taken with the cup back in 2011.

If the Leafs lose this series I'll be cheering for the Bruins to win the cup.

Default National Hockey League Playoffs

My boys from Minnesota got stomped bad by Winnipeg the other night. Tonight 'Torono' has a chance to extend their season by beating the Bruins. Should be a good game with a good chance of fisticuffs at the end if the Maple Leafs win.


Go Toronto!

Hey Rockstar. I guess you didn't see that there is already a thread for the 2018 NHL playoffs. It's not a big deal but guessing your thread will be merged with the existing thread or should be.
