2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[jmorgan]

Pittsburgh wins the battle of Pennsylvania as they eliminate Philly.

Western conference quarter-finals are set:

Nashville vs. Winnipeg
Las Vegas vs. San Jose

It always seems like the Flyers get subpar goaltending in the playoffs.

The Leafs and the Bruins are going the distance after a 3-1 Toronto win forces Game 7!

[mellongraig]

I just hope there won't be a repeat of the Game 7 collapse back in 2013...

[wink87]

Washington moves on to face Pittsburgh in the second round after beating the Blue Jackets 6-3. They rallied from 2-0 down in the series to win 4 straight.

Meanwhile, the Predators are doing the same tactic again to restrict playoff tickets for Nashville's viewing area for round 2 (they did that for last year's Stanley Cup Final series):

Western conference quarter-finals are set:

Nashville vs. Winnipeg
Las Vegas vs. San Jose

semi-finals

[mellongraig]

Well it wasn't as painful as the 2013 collapse, but this really had to hurt as the Leafs are out in round 1 for the second year in a row. Oh well...

Anyway the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals are now set:

Tampa Bay vs. Boston
Washington vs. Pittsburgh

Place the picks and also the ones from the Western Conference starting now.

Madam Fieldsy's Second Round Crystal Ball
(pick for winning team in bold, brackets for number of games)

Boston vs. Tampa Bay (5)
Pittsburgh vs. Washington (6)

Winnpeg vs. Nashville (7)
San Jose vs. Las Vegas (6)

[mellongraig]

Jets win Game 1 by a 4-1 margin, however they were outshot 48-19 by the Preds. They'll have to step it up for Game 2 shot wise.

Meanwhile for last night, Game 1 wins went to the Penguins and the Golden Knights.

[mellongraig]

Jets are just one win away from advancing to the Conference Final after winning 6-2 against the Preds and have a chance to close it out Monday night for Game 6.

Meanwhile for the rest of the series, Lightning lead 3-1 against the Bruins, Caps lead 3-2 against the Penguins, and the Golden Knights also lead 3-2 against the Sharks.

[FieldsFan336]

Tampa advances to the Eastern Conference final with a 3-1 win over Boston to take it in 5 games.  Las Vegas could wrap up their series against San Jose tonight
