2021 NHL Playoffs

Ebs is cool. I think the Isles issue is that Barzal is not a #1 center. There really isn’t a #1 line either. Sort of run two #2 lines out there and two #3 lines out there. Fantastic coach and staff. Goalie coach Lou brought with him from Toronto is probably the best in the game.

Like someone else said, I am rooting against more teams than I am rooting for.

My #1 hope - Is that the Penguins get knocked out of the playoffs no matter who they play.
#2 - The winner of the Carolina / Nashville series wins the cup.
#3 - The winner of the Vegas / Minnesota series wins the cup.
#4 - All the other teams knock each other senseless.

Wish # 1 Comes True!!!!!!!!

It is always a great Stanley Cup playoff when Pittsburgh loses to anybody.

Since the Caps are done I can root for my other team now……Go Avs!!!!

It's sad to watch McDavid waste his prime years in Edmonton. This organization keeps surrounding him with the same crappy players year-after-year and guess what? They still don't get it! They are not going to get anywhere with these guys!

Chiarelli didn't help matters by letting go, trading, not signing some of their previous acquisitions.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I bet if the original core of players in Eberle, Ryan N Hopkins, Hall, etc, were still there, things would be much better.

Chiarelli was a disaster and was kept on too long.

Almost as bad as Milbury. Not quite there. The Isles thank you him for Barzal...

Montreal/Toronto V Winnipeg

Boston V Isles

Carolina V Tampa Bay

Colorado V Las Vegas

Me:

Toronto closes out the Habs tonight, Winnipeg beats them in 6.

Boston sweeps the Isles, not even close. My Game 6 tickets go to waste.

Tampa beats Carolina in 6. Close series.

Colorado beats Vegas in 6.

Same with Carey Price in Montreal
