LOOK FOR 2 OUT OF 4 OF DIVISIONAL WINNERS TO LOSE
- Ging72

Look for MAF to be the missing piece. Proven Cup winner and clutch playoff hero. Poor Colorado stuck with Kuemper. I believe Khudobin is still on the Stars roster so big edge to the Stars. Defense wins so keep your eye on NYI.

OK, gentlemen, sharpen your #2 pencils - the Official Hockeybuzz NHL 2022 Playoffs Prediction Thread is live:

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...post_id=22264783#22264783

Please note: unlike my other prediction threads, this is NOT Leaf-focused. So fans of all 32 teams are welcome to participate.

There is no prize. There isn't even an evaluation mechanism.

This is strictly a way for you to make your hockey geniusness known to the Hockeybuzz community, so you can tell us all "I told you so" when Nashville wins the Stanley Cup.

The rules are simple: cut and paste the template, and fill it out.

The thread will be locked at 7 pm tonight, and for the rest of the playoffs, you can trash talk anyone who made dumb predictions.

Hope to see you there.

Lots of different sites have playoff previews with accurate statistical comparisons. My approach is playoffs are about goalies and special teams. So like NYR has the edge, but Crosby and Malkin are playoff tested. Should go 6 or 7 games and either team could win. But I'll go NYR in 6. But could also see Pens in 7 if Malkin matures into a man.
