I'm so not making any calls on any matchups man. That's just bad karma. Let the non playoff teams place their bets.

I think Boston has got our matchup in the bag... I knew losing Williams would hurt but he wouldn't have been enough to save me. I need Varly to play lights out, but Bernie's got the call, so oh well.

Another early bow out for Detroit, best of luck JD, but I know nobody else besides you wants a repeat  :rofl:

:NYR: Rangers looking for a huge come from behind victory on the last day. Need to make up 16 points.

I see the Flyers only have 2 players hitting the ice today against my 10 boys and maybe a goalie if Calgary trusts Gillies enough to throw a start his way against the lowly Isls.

Just noticed how few players I was rolling out today. :puke:
Philly will be watching the games closely!

The Caps had me a little worried when I saw Bishop go down and Backes get himself suspended. Luckily Ovi and Backstrom choked once again in the playoffs  :rofl: That team has a ton of talent they'll be back strong again next year I have no doubt.

I'll have my work cut out for me in round two. Definitely not the same team without Palat, Stone and Schneider but we will see what happens. It's been a good season either way look forward to the matchup.

Goalies are bound to be the deciding factor during the playoffs whether they help you or screw you over. LOL
