The brackets are also private until the playoffs start, after you're allowed to make changes, so you can't just look at everyone else's and see their picks.

This is "good" weather.

But let me give a little context before I get crucified

-San Jose has been a wreck the past month and a half
-Calgary gets their payback against Anaheim from a few years ago
-Edmonton takes the battle of Alberta
-Washington goes full Washington again
-In typical fashion Bruce loses in the Conference final
-and it ends in a "young v. old" with old taking it

The east is a lot more wide open, you could probably replace Boston with any one of the Rangers/Canadiens/Senators. I just see Pittsburgh as the only team that really has "it" (even without Letang).

But I also feel this really illustrates how flawed the new playoff system is because none of this is overly unrealistic in the new format

Not that far off, I also have the Oilers winning, but losing to Anaheim, I had Ottawa, then Boston, then back to Ottawa, and then back to Boston again. I think Ottawa is the team that goes in under the radar, struggled a bit at the end, but has a nice run. I have Chicago and Pittsburgh with Chicago getting number 4 with Kane/Toews.

It will depend if she serves the cheesecake just out of the fridge or if she left it sitting out for a bit.

Rangers/Bruins/Sens/Candiens is one thing that I might change before puck drop tomorrow. But I think Minny goes far this year. Bruce takes them there

I also feel like Anaheim has the better team over Calgary, but that's what my gut is telling me

And forgot about one thing. Then we get to listen to Sbroads female dog about how another rebuilding team made the finals two years after drafting their star for the next 5 seasons

Yes, when Foligno(whom I'm a big fan, in a 3rd line role) and Carrier are playing significant time with our top 2 point getters you've got issues. But the way this team plays "offense" I'm not sure it matters all that much, so, go ahead, trade Kane and Reinhart. Why not?
- Wetbandit1

Trade one of them, probably. Both, no.

Maybe niether with Okposo apparently done.

I mean, in all honesty, you can find a 20 goal scorer rather easily.

Panik, Marchessault, Gagner, Vanek, Vrbata all scored close to or over 20 goals. They were acquired for nothing.
