So who's going to win it? Here we go.

Rooting for a Tampa / Vegas finals

That finals would get cancelled by the network. Absolutely no one would watch or care outside of a handful of people in tampa.

Lol ya for sure. But who cares, it's hockey. Nobody's going to watch anyway.

Devils swept the Lightning in the regular season, 3-0

Interesting the Pens got the Flyers. Flyers still a dirty team? When these two play the Pens are always better but seem like they'll get physically beat up and have nothing for the next round.

I see LA Kings are back in the playoffs, that's surprising. And the Jets! #2 seed? wow. Minn has experience so wouldn't be surprised to see an upset there.

I see Washington's seeding. They'll find a way to choke again I'm sure but it would be nice if they can finally get out in the East and beat the Pens.

Blackhorse : Sharks.

I have not watched any regular season hockey so I'm guessing on all these teams. But it doesnt matter, because when the NHL playoffs start the regular season really doesn't mean anything. IT's a crap shoot but that's why its so fun to watch.

The Flyers are more stupid than they are dirty.

Ryan Suter busted an ankle last week, out for the rest of season. Plus the Jets are really really good. First time in playoffs for much of that team (except the obvious players); so expectations for the Jets = 2009 Blackhawks run to the Conference Finals, at best.

I have the Jets and Bruins in the Final. Without Suter, Minnesota can't absorb three scoring lines, and even with him it was unlikely. The Preds are beatable with their tired goalie and moron coach, and no one in the Pacific is that impressive or else someone would have won the division over Team Beat Up On Drunk Guys.

It's a tougher road out of the East but I feel good about what the Bruins have and I can't see the Pens winning the conference three years running. That's too hard nowadays.

Jets / Lightning?

Don't care....I have a bet on Vegas being a first round exit....just need that to come true.

Noticed no Edmonton. What happened? Thought they were the up and coming team.

I forgot how much I dislike the Penguins.

Apparently no reason to bother rooting for the Flyers.

Jets look like they're on the power play for most of this period, despite being at even strength the entire time. Jets outshooting Wild something like 10-3, but still a scoreless game.

Gotta love the Kane and Keith Gatorade commercials. They probably shot those months ago figuring the Hawks would be a playoff presence. Makes me think of those Nicklas Backstrom Geico commercials they ran nonstop a couple years ago after Washington was a 1st round exit.

Jets finally got one by Dubnyk, hopefully it's the first of many. Minnesota looks outmatched.

The Wild outplayed the Jets in the 2nd but fell victim to a PP on a soft call. Two slick goals has given them the lead. Should be a great 3rd period.

Vegas, Jets, or Nashville. Fuck the East!

Eddie O in the NBC sports studio. Not use to him there.

Quick just had a nice save. I thought they had him.

I like Fleury and Fuck the kings!

That was a good game. Quick was awesome. Missed the first period so not sure how they got a goal past him. I'm rooting for Vegas.

Vegas being good = hockey being bad
