Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The predators have been my pick to win since the first round. I hope they win mainly because I want to see Suban get hold of the cup. A Sens Vs Preds final would mean I would be happy with the outcome of either. Basically fvck the penguins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunately everything seems to be lining up for them. They're getting healthy at the right time, they're getting scoring from a bunch of different players (7 in the last game), and have the luxury of bringing a Stanley Cup winning goalie off the bench when their other Stanley Cup winning goalie has a bad game. I'm still giving the Preds a punchers chance though if Rinne can steal a game or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Rattlehead18 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think Preds win easy if Fluery gets the net back. If Murray stays in it will be an interesting series. Fluery is garbage compared to Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister in law moved to Nashville 2 years ago. I've been to a lot of other NHL arenas and I think they have by far the best combination of arena, atmosphere, location in the league. I can't imagine how wild it would have been down on Broadway last night. Unfortunately, I was in Nashville for games 1 and 2 vs the Blues (Played in St Louis) and then in St Louis two weeks ago during game 6 in Nashville. I was SOOOO close to being all over that series.

Devilsfan118 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have picked against the Preds three times so far, so... I see either the Sens or Pens taking care of them in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The Penguin player literally wedges the goalie into the net with his stick, and Eddie and Pierre are tripping over themselves about how it should've been a goal. So fvcking sick of the bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 How can the Sens come out in the 2nd and get outside 15+ to 3? In an elimination game no less. Sens are looking like.. well, they're looking like what many expected them to against the Penguins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losers over at HFboards bitch about the ratings as if they're some sort of reason the Sens and their fans should be ashamed they've made it this far in the playoffs.

The ratings for hockey always suck nationally- I'm sure the Rags-Kings Final did decent numbers in NY and LA, but nationally I doubt it did much better than any other SCF.

They might actually be a decent draw especially if they go up against the Pens. With the huge country singers all getting on board, I'm sure they'll draw some casual interest from areas that they never gotten to tune in before. I can't imagine Garth Brooks isn't going to do the anthem for game 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of people, hockey just doesn't take. I have friends that I've taken to games who LOVE baseball, football, basketball...and when they're at the hockey game, they seem like they're feeling it...but can take it or leave it when the game's over. Some of them claim to be more into playoff hockey, but even then, just no real passion for watching. Hell, I watched about 80% of the sh!tstorm that was the last third of the season...I can't help myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
