Pittsburgh in 6

yeah, yeah. Homer picks. the team is good enough on paper to do it, but I dunno if they have enough gas left to make a deep run. I could see them losing most of the possible R2-finals matchups, too.

Goooo broons
---

go avs
---

one more day!
---

Go Ducks quack quack
---

Go Caps.
---

Didn't we just have the NHL playoffs?
---

Penguins win
---

Jackets baby!!!!!
---

Go Sharks

I'm not confident in them to even win round 1. They had the keys to home ice and blew it. The Ducks are going to be a challenge.
---

I hope Winnipeg or Nashville win the cup. I love the Penguins, but it'd be nice to see somebody fresh in a healthy market take it.

Smashville...god I love em. Sharks 4 life but I secretly love the Preds. They legit have the greatest fanbase in Hockey. Their home games look like incredible fun.

Leggo pens
---

Good to see some love for the Jets.
---

Go Knights and Lightning!
---

that's just not fair. 3!
---

pens are getting lucky on a couple Flyers missed ops / great Murray saves, though.
---

fucking flyers.

nm, I guess Malkin started that one.
---

Flyers getting destroyed.
---

Dubnyk looking solid.
---

Guentzel. 4.

still Elliott. seems wrong.
---

lolol.

Crosby does Crosby things. 5. unless it was high.

goalpost steals a Malkin highlight reel.
---

Both my home teams are out, so I'm just cheering for the underdog expansion team now. Go Knights!
---

Go Red Wings... fuck.

It's like he got tired of scoring with the puck on the ice.
---

Go Jets Go!
---

Mrazek with 8 saves already.
---

Winnipeg finally gets through Dubnyk.
---

Jets have controlled the entire game, so I still feel confident in them for sure. But yeah, Dubnyk showing that with good goaltending, you can hang in.

I'm hoping for my draft's sake that the Kings will show the same thing tonight. >_>
---

Sid. garbage. 6.

biggest surprise is the general lack of goonery from the flyers. there's been a little, but mostly with cause.
---

My favorite Crosby moment was when the Penguins were playing out of town and a home team player scored a hat trick. The fans threw their hats on the ice and Crosby complained to the Refs asking if they could make an announcement to ask fans to stop throwing their hats on the ice. The next hat trick Crosby had was at home during free hat night and he did not bitch to the refs for some reason. Another great Crosby moment is when he slashed a player and almost severed his finger. No fines or suspension. That was also great.
---

did someone just say Sid Hat Trick?

anyway, I do agree that slash no-call was bullshit, but he gets plenty his way, too. I don't remember any complaints about hats on the ice, though.
---

As much as I dislike the Flyers, I dislike the Pens more.
---

Cully!

Parise!

Too true. Too true.

We broke the game 7 curse last year against the Oilers so here's hoping it's duck season this year.

Quack quack.

For real though, it's gonna be a great post season all around.
---

LAINE!!! Woo!
---

Laine makes it 2s in Winnipeg. moar goals!
---

I just love playoff games in Winnipeg.
