Guess the matchups below will be slightly inaccurate, but same results IMO.

PLAYOFF BRACKET

You know, if I hadn't tried going through it this way, my 'finals' would not have been what I thought it was.

Of course, one series goes differently and my whole idea goes out the window with new matchups.

Hey,

People would have said I was dreaming with saying the Panthers could make it at the beginning of the season. And here we are.

Never know what can happen in the playoffs.

Frankly, I don't think it has changed at all.

BUT I AINT EVEN MAD THE CAPS WON

WHOO PANTHERS ARE PLAYOFF BOUND

(And probably division bound since Neuvirth got injured too, they play the Canes, and the Caps play the Rangers.)

finds it humerous that he has tripled his amount of listening to Bohemian Rhapsody since starting the college term.

Yes, but:

Florida loses both remaining, Buffalo wins both, Washington wins both (one against Florida) = somehow they manage to choke away the playoffs.

Call me a pessimist, but the way things tend to go for them, will probably happen.

San Jose won. Good for you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be screaming expletives into a pillow about Toronto and Florida. Blasted Pilot's Luck.

JUST ONE MORE WIN

JUST ONE MORE. THAT'S ALL THEY NEED. JUST ONE.

wonders, "does anyone check these things anyways?"

I stand by what I said earlier: Blues, Canucks, or Predators will win the West. East, Pittsburgh, New York, or *shudder* Boston.

... orfloridalolyeahright

Yeah, THAT is ridiculous.

I still think they might win the division. I doubt Dallas can keep up what they're doing, and Phoenix will stay about where they are, I think.

Don't worry, it'll be their turn to go on a 10-0-1 run soon, just like every one else in the divisions been doing. :)

WHOOOO CROSBY COMING BACK

How long until another Lucic-style elbow to the head puts him out again, I wonder?

So I was reading through our old comments. I found this:

About coach firings: "Hmm... The only one that sticks out in my mind is Boudreau, but hey, he didn't get fired last time. Maybe Jacques Martin if the team doesn't preform too well. Maaaaybe Davis Payne. "

HA! CALLED IT! :D

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ducks got in the playoffs and beat the Wings (and probably done round after). That seems the most likely "Ducks in the playoffs" scenario I see.

They're next on the list, but... I don't know. A team that's not even .500 on the road?

Those teams are pretty much the same order I was hoping since the beginning. Of who I expect to win... I think Vancouver, St. Louis, or San Jose will come out on top. If Anaheim makes it in I bet they'll take at least one team down, but doubt they can win it all.

I hoped he'd go to one of those. I didn't expect he would. :P

I hope. I'd like to see them win some. WC teams, in the order that I'd want them to win this year, probably go in this order for me: Phoenix, Anaheim, San Jose, Nashville, St. Louis/Vancouver. Don't expect Anaheim or Phoenix to do much, but hey, could always hope.

Told ya Nash was going nowhere.

Rangers apparently out of the Nash derby. Come on, Vancouver or San Jose!

Well, quite a few were obviously not making it, but mathematically? That hurts.

At any rate, yaaaay Wolski!

You know, it's gotta suck being on Columbus right now, considering it's not even the trade deadline, 21 games to go, and they're already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Eh, not that unusual. I've had enough game tying goals like that in this that I'm pretty used to it. Many due to my player, due to its low stats, ducking under the puck. No kidding.

That's exactly what I expect it to be like if I ever actually get to playing goal. (Though don't have the money to get the rest currently, do have the leg pads. And would have the helmet if the one I was going to get didn't sell a few days before.)

NHL 12, Be A Pro goalie. Few seconds left against the Senators, puck goes to the point. Shot comes, I come out of the net since I saw the time was at a second left. Puck hits my blocker dead on, bounces DOWN, hits the corner of my right leg pad, bounces out to the middle to Spezza who hits it in with 0.5 seconds left to tie it.
