Juan Bird Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) And the NHL playoffs are back! I'm glad the Minnesota Wild didn't just give up, and are going to play a 5th game in their 1st round series against the St. Louis Blues after winning the fourth match 2-0. However they are currently down 3-1 in the series, and teams coming back to win a seven game series after being down 3-0 has only happened four times in NHL history! Still, let's see if they can become the fifth team to join that club! Of the four clubs who have mounted such comebacks to date, 2 have won the Stanley Cup (1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 2014 Los Angeles Kings), 1 appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals (2010 Philadelphia Flyers), and 1 made it to a Conference Final (1975 New York Islanders)! Here are the summaries of all the 1st Round playoff series at this point: West: Nashville leads Chicago 3-0 St. Louis leads Minnesota 3-1 Anaheim WINS over Calgary 4-0 Edmonton and San Jose are tied 2-2 East: Washington and Toronto are tied 2-2 Pittsburgh leads Columbus 3-1 Montreal and NY Rangers are tied 2-2 Ottawa leads Boston 3-1 Edited April 20, 2017 by mrconfusion87 Quote Link to comment

Juan Bird Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) 2nd Round Summary: The Predators went on to beat the Blues, the Ducks beat the Oilers (albeit a bit controversially), the Penguins beating the Capitals yet again, and the Senators beating the Rangers! Conference Finals Summary: The Predators beat the Ducks down, while the Penguins grinder really hard (all the way to OT in Game 7) to beat the Senators! Stanley Cup Finals Summary: The Penguins eliminated the challenger Predators in six games to earn their 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup (and their 5th overall since they were founded in 1967)! Although Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals attracted a bit of controversy due to a disallowed goal by the Predators! Had that goal been allowed, the game (and maybe even the series) may have looked very different! Anyway congrats to the Pittsburgh Penguins on being the top of the NHL again! Can't wait for October to roll around again! Hopefully this time the Minnesota Wild have better luck going the distance this time! Edited June 13, 2017 by mrconfusion87 Quote Link to comment

Juan Bird Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) vegas golden knights! any opinions? me, i like the idea and i think they're for real. I think they are pretty good for a starting team - I am not sure when was the last time a first year expansion team made the playoffs (maybe the Blues during the 1967-68 season, perhaps?)! Their scouts during the expansion draft really studied their options! I think they have a very strong chance to make the playoffs in spring! Though I don't think they have enough experience playing together to get a top seeding though. However, I can see them bagging a Wild Card spot. On the other hand, seems like a lot of teams have backtracked from last year's postseason through some rather slow starts like the Wild (my team), Oilers, Blackhawks, Senators, Capitals, Rangers, and Ducks. And teams that struggled last year are showing some promise this season, like the Jets, Devils, Kings, and Flames... But then again, I find the start of Dec still a bit premature to really guesstimate what the postseason picture will be like. After All-Star Break will be a far better time to gauge!
