If Colorado was healthier I might buy it, but as is they're missing their goalie and a top-pairing defenseman. Nashville hasn't finished particularly strong, but nah, it's not gonna happen.

I was joking with that, but I'm sure we were all saying the same thing about the matchup last year as well.
This Preds team is much stronger than last years Blackhawks team, though. Tonight is the first time in my life that I'll be hoping the Bruins win something. Something about cheering for that team feels wrong. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Should I wait until this topic hits 500 before making a playoff topic, or just make one when we get the finalized matchups so we can start fresh?

Nashville finished strong enough. I was looking at this yesterday re: Colorado, and I know this isn't relevant but it's a fun stat regardless. Wins vs. teams that are in the playoffs, for Colorado, since the all star break. February: San Jose March: Minnesota (x2), Vegas April: none So that's 4 wins. Nashville has 3 such wins in the past week alone (Tampa Bay, Washington, Columbus) Though I still don't understand the Blackhawks' collapse last year, they were so hot after the all-star break and it's like, they used up everything they had. Lost their last 4 games and then 4 straight in the playoffs. Anything really can happen, I guess. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nashville and Chicago had a pretty good rivalry going, including a couple highly contested first round series in the past few years before that one. One of Chicago's cup years was that year where in the first round, Nashville was like 1 minute away from going up 3-2 and had a power play but then Chicago got a SHG to force overtime, and won, going up 3-2 and winning in six instead and going on to win the cup.
That Nashville team knew that Chicago team and knew they could beat them. I don't much of that in Colorado this year... --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://i.imgur.com/W66HUUy.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah. I see Nashville over Colorado and Pittsburgh over Philly but that's about it. Even Lightning/Devils, which I was so sure about, upon closer inspection... isn't as sure a thing, I'm feeling that playoff x-factor with them, they could upset or get swept.
