Well, I'm not gonna argue with someone who thinks drafting is based on luck and ignores the factual and logical explanations of why things were a certain way back then. Good luck !

Larkin snuck to 15 because he was overshadowed a bit on the US National Development Program USHL team. He was getting second line minutes because they had Jack Eichel on the top line. It was good scouting by Detroit, but there was still plenty of luck involved, as nobody saw him becoming this good, this quickly. If they did a 2014 redraft he would easily be top 5. He's easily just as good as Bennett and Reinhart, if not better.

This is my bracket. I'm picking Detroit over Tampa because I think Tampa has too many important injuries to even compete against Detroit. And I think St. Louis can beat Chicago. Chicago of late hasn't been playing well, but they are filled with experience so they can turn it around when it matters most. but I think St. Louis might exorcise their demons against Chicago. It'll be a 7 game series for sure.

I'm picking Anaheim to win the cup, Their team is solid throughout the entire line-up. And they've been the hottest team since December.

DAL vs MIN: DAL 6 games
CHI vs STL: CHI 5 games.
ANA vs NSH: ANA 6 games
LA vs SJ: LA 6 games

WSH vs PHI: WSH 6 games
NYR vs PIT: NYR 7 games
FLA vs NYI: FLA 6 games
TB vs DET: DET 7 games

DAL vs CHI: CHI
ANA vs LA: ANA
WSH vs NYR: WSH
FLA vs DET: FLA

CHI vs ANA: CHI
WSH vs FLA: WSH

CHI vs WSH: CHI, 31 goals in the final series.

I think the Ducks and the Predators are the two best teams in the west, it's a shame they have to meet so early.

 

[Mort Divine]

Welp, Abdelkader is probably getting a suspension.

Did not expect this to be such a nasty series. Shame it is going to only last a few more games at most.

 

[Nephilim96]

fuck nashville. fuck filip forsberg and james neal in the ass with a tranny's cock

 

[Caecius]

Go Pens!

Bunch of haters on UM.

 

[Mort Divine]

Great statement game by the Wings

Outplayed TB the entire game

Boyle with the fucking chicken taunt though man lmao

 

[Nephilim96]

Dont kill yourself Krig

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Saw it coming
Plus I'm not even mad, Blues fans are used to this stuff.
Anyway, it leaves more time for activities this spring.

 

[End of Glory]

I'll laugh my ass off if Flyers somehow wins this series.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

I fucking hope not, if the Islanders beat the Panthers tonight, I'd have gotten every series in the east wrong in my bracket....

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Jesus christ... My bracket in the East is completely fucked... Capitals need to make it to the Cup Final to salvage the whole fucking thing.

 

[rms]

Damn, thought it would be FLA in 6. Sharks and NYI only teams to fuck me so far. If STL loses my bracket is donezo

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Yeah, I had Blues in 7 in my bracket, so hopefully I get that one right, the only one in the West I got wrong so far is Los Angeles losing to San Jose.

 

[rms]

I got Blues in 7 too..and winning the Cup haha

 

[SweptbackFlame]

I got Blues in 7 too..and winning the Cup haha

See I have the Ducks beating the Caps for the Cup. I think Anaheim is a more complete team than St. Louis is.
