***Official Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread***

People don't realize that winning the President's Trophy is actually quite the curse. It happens quite often the winner doesn't win the Stanley Cup - and they sometimes get knocked out in the first round.

Bye bye Boston

I’m on the Florida bandwagon for the rest of this run. Bonkers

Colorado is on the ropes as well.

I honestly am surprised anyone picked the Panthers. I realize President’s Trophy winners get bounced a bit, but Boston was dominant all year.

Yeah the die hard hockey fans I knew were saying the same thing. Curses still matter in hockey it seems. And Minneapolis.

Minnesota sports teams will never win a title. The Wild are 5-14 at home in the NHL payoffs the last few years.

Boston's collapse cleansed me of 2019 more than 2 Cups did.

Seeing the pain in the fans' face I felt like I was looking at myself four years ago...

My Av's go from Champs to chumps.

I have been impressed by the Devils goalie, Schmid, but he got lit up. I feel like that was the Devils chance for the upset and the Rangers will take game 7.

I was only able to watch the 1st period, but they were absolutely peppering the opposing goalie with shots, and couldn't get one in. Seemed like they were getting the shots at will, so I figured they would eventually make a bunch. Guess not.

The whole series McKinnon and Rantanen seemed like the only players who cared about repeating. All the others just seemed out of sorts. And whatever was going on with the Val situation wasn’t helping.

Well that post didn't age well. Devils are no joke defensively.

Good Lord, Pavelski with 4 goals and we are tied up with 6 min left.

Kraken win it in OT. Gritty team.

Scoring early and often in this Vegas/Oilers game.

Bank off the goalies head!
