Query by mjr2013 --- Tigers in 2012!!: What are your NHL playoff predictions?
Right here is mine:
EAST QUARTERFINALS
1 Boston Bruins
vs.
8 Montreal Canadians
The Scoop: A rematch of last years matchup with the rankings reversed. This is turning into a decent rivalry. Bruins will get their revenge. Boston in seven.
four Pittsburgh Penguins
vs.
five Philadelphia Flyers
The Scoop: With the Penguins losing Hossa in the offseason, and their new coach being an "everyone's a winner!" variety of guy, I don't assume they are difficult sufficient to beat the Flyers. Flyers in 6.
3 New Jersey Devils
vs.
6 Carolina Hurricanes
The Scoop: New Jersey is slumping, while Carolina is rocking. Brouder helps make this exciting although. Carolina in 6.
2 Washington Capitals
vs.
seven New York Rangers
The Scoop: The Capitals are a one particular-man crew (Alexander Ovechkin) and you can not win playoff video games (or at least a series) like that. Rangers in five.
WEST QUARTERFINALS
one San Jose Sharks
vs.
8 Anaheim Ducks
The Scoop: The Sharks have been soothing in the past couple months since they knew they have been in. The Ducks, nonetheless, have been playing playoff hockey for the previous 2 months to get in. Even so, the Sharks are just a far better team. Sharks in seven.
4 Chicago Blackhawks
vs.
five Calgary Flames
The Scoop: The 'Hawks truly messed up when they showed that video montage at the last game. I assume nevertheless the Flames have messed up far more in the last 6 weeks. They have Sucked. They actually have forgotton how to win and this will lead Chi-town to a win. Chicago in 5.
3 Vancouver Canucks
vs.
six St.Louis Blues
The Scoop: The Blues don't have much offense... or defense... But they have a goalie!!! That can get them rather far, but not far adequate. I nonetheless never like the system that puts the division leaders at 1, two, and three! (They need to place it in order of factors and then if there is no person of a single division in the best 8, put them in 8th!!!) Anyway, Vancouver in six.
2 Detroit Red Wings
vs.
7 Columbus Blue Jackets
The Scoop: This 1 won't be close. You have to drop before you can win (seem at last many years Stanley Cup Last!) Columbus will turn out to be even much more p***** with Michigan. Detroit in a sweep.
EAST SEMI-FINALS
one Boston Bruins
vs.
7 New York Rangers
The Scoop: The Rangers beat the Capitals simply because the Capitals arn't an all-around crew. The Bruins are. Boston in a sweep.
5 Philadelphia Flyers
vs.
6 Carolina Hurricanes
The Scoop: Carolina will preserve rolling through the Flyers. Hurricanes in six.
WEST SEMI-FINALS
1 San Jose Sharks
vs.
4 Chicago Blackhawks
The Scoop: The Sharks have skidded toward the playoffs (mostly due to the fact they had been in the playoffs 2 months ago!) but they arn't used to playing at 100%. Chicago is a young team that is used to it. Chicago in seven.
2 Detroit Red Wings
vs.
3 Vancouver Canucks
The Scoop: What are Cunucks????? Anyway, plain and basic, they arn't as excellent as the Wings. D-Town in five.
EAST FINALS
one Boston Bruins
vs.
six Carolina Hurricanes
The Scoop: Boston is remarkable. They will easily beat the rolling Hurricanes. Bruins in five.
WEST FINALS
2 Detroit Red Wings
vs.
4 Chicago Blackhawks
The Scoop: This will be the finest series in the playoffs. This is replacing the Detroit/Colorado rivalry. Detroit's encounter will at some point outlast Chicago, but it will be Really close. Detroit in seven.
STANLEY CUP FINALS
The Scoop: Ahhhhhh, practically nothing like the championship for Lord Stanley. You have to admit that it is the greatest trophy in all of sports. Here we go...
1 Boston Bruins
vs.
2 Detroit Red Wings
Game one (In Boston):
Boston 5
Detroit six
The Scoop: Detroit often looks to come in with a bang, and will do that right here also.
one- Detroit
Game 2 (In Boston):
Boston five
Detroit four (OT)
The Scoop: Detroit's Bang will start off to dress in off.
Tied 1-one
Game 3 (In Detroit):
Detroit five
Boston two
Detroit will use Hockeytown's property ice benefit.
2-1 Detroit
Game 4 (In Detroit):
Detroit three
Boston
The Scoop: They must Definitely get rid of Chris Osgood, but since they will not, I guess Detroit will just win this 1.
Detroit three-1
Game five (In Boston):
Boston two
Detroit 1
The Scoop: Boston is no pushover, and it'll they'll very good enough to get another win.
Detroit three-two
Game 6 (In Detroit):
Detroit five
Boston four (3OT)
The Scoop: Detroit likes to make items fascinating, and a triple overtime objective (by whoever) will definitely do it.
STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS: DETROIT RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!
The SPIN: Detroit is the greatest group in the NHL, and will turn into a dynasty here. I'm (absolutely) not going to say that in the past 12 years or so that they are the finest group ever. I will say even so that they are on their way to potentially grow to be that. Feel free to chew me out.
Finest reply:
Answer by Don CoreolisIf the Caps get rid of it really is not since they are a one-guy team (six 19+ goal scorers, a few 30+ aim scorers). It'll be because Jose Theodore sucks gigantic moose balls.
