Coldplayfan1294 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Ok, here we are. Inspired by the new thread created by our new Canadian poster. We need some moar hockey on Coldplay forums. Chicago / Minnesota Series - Chicago Leads 2-1 Anaheim / LA Series - LA Leads 2-0 Montreal / Boston Series - Montreal Leads 2-1 Pittsburgh / New York Series - Pittsburgh Leads 3-1 My thoughts: Nothing is better than PK Subban trolling the Bruins. It'd be funny if LA won the cup again, especially after barely escaping elimination in the first round against SJ. Good bye Todd McLellan? I think Boston comes back and wins the series vs. Montreal. I think Rick Nash isn't what he used to be, and Pittsburgh will roll-on. Haven't followed the Chicago/Minny series, but you'd have to pick Chicago as favorites. Oh yeah, Pierre McGuire is a creep.

TraceOddity Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm a Leafs fan, but I'm cheering for the Habs. I Usually go Leafs, Canadian teams, Original six, Boston first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out Also OP, I see your location is set to FLA. Could you possibly be a Panthers fan and not a Lightning fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of the rare species. I grew up in Naples, Florida, which is literally straight across from Miami on the West Coast of Florida. Die hard Panthers fan. And yes, Toronto fan cheering for Habs is like treason. What the fuck! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from them ridiculously underachieving this playoffs after dominating the regular season. What a choke job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reagan_dugan3 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I live about 2 hours from St Louis. I'm from Chicago though, so being a Hawks fan is a birth right. As for the awkwardness, I wore my Kane jersey with pride every chance I got. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we're getting there. Huberdeau, Barkov, Bjugstad, picking 1st overall this summer. Hopefully Ekblad. We'll be more than an after-thought some day!

Jaytheblue Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hey! I gotta say that although I would stick with the leafs normally- even though they are absolutely horrible, I am silently cheering for the habs. But I'm pretty sure that Boston will win the series. I still think LA has a good shot of winning the cup, and Pittsburg is still always at the back of my mind. On the subject of PK Subban, I saw him a while ago as a guest chair umpire for a friendly tennis match at the Rogers Cup- very nice guy, nice to see that he is doing well with the habs.

Coldplayfan1294 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Might just be the Edmonton of the East. But I heard your GM is shopping first overall (nuts imo)? But we made the playoffs 2 seasons ago, and gave the Cup finalists a run for their money (NJD) took them to double OT game 7 before we lost :(. HEARTBREAKING. I was up at 1am, needing to work in a few hours, and then Adam Henrique scores 5 hole on Theodore (who played outstanding), like a few minutes into 2OT. I was crushed. Tallon is just doing what any GM really would. All GMs should at least listen to offers. If Edmonton offers up something like Nail Yakupov, I think I'd probably take that. It'd take a guy like that to make it happen. And take that back. Nobody can be Edmonton lol. Edmonton is on a level of their own lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this may just be speculation, but he wasn't just listening, he was actively shopping it away. And if it's Yaks for 1st overall, you're getting screwed. I think the oilers would have to add a bit more and they're also picking not far behind you anyways. Leafs would have to do like Kadri/Gards + Lupul/Franson+ their 1st as a start.

Yakupov is likely better than any of the forwards available at #1 in this draft. I want Tallon to just pick who they thin kthe best BPA is at #1, which I think might be Ekblad, or probably is, but I have my reservations about picking a dman #1 overall, usually doesn't end well, and we already picked Gudbranson 3rd overall, and that's not working out so well right now.

I see your pov. I guess from a business standpoint, FLA needs that real sexy name or star player to put asses in the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Huberdeau can get his head out of his ass and go back to Calder form, that'd really help playing along Barkov. A Huberdeau-Barkov-Yakupov line would be insane.

Coldplayfan1294 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 San Jose wins against Los Angeles last night, 2-1 series there, and Boston is coming back to tie the series at 2-2 with Montreal. Boston doesn't miss Seguin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 As a fan with their team out of the playoffs, which series are you ppl following? I've grown tired on Crosby-mania and have no interest in either Cali teams but think CHI and BOS are gonna be finalists so I follow those series more. Also, anyone have any interest in the world championships? lol edit: omfg, how can we lose to France.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...France...I know Canada never really tries in the WC but still.... I didn't mind Carlyle tbh, a 2 year isn't so bad plus theres a team option after the first year IIRC. You on HF too?
