Playoffs 2023: Make the Call

[Deckie007]

I didn't make a prediction here, but my for my office pool, I had:

Colorado
Vegas
Minny
LAK
Toronto
NJ
Carolina
Florida

Lost the Wild but already locked in Vegas and Carolina. Pretty much everyone in my office took McDavid or Pasternak (we could take any two players), so if one of those teams could fuck off that would be great. I took Ratonen and Marner.

I'm calling in Six. Yes in their barn.

Caveat is Samsonov remains healthy.

Wishful thinking.

WAS IT WISHFUL THINKING?????????

WAS IT WISHFUL THINKING?????????

It was. But be careful what you wish for.

Bruins > Panthers in 4
Leafs > Lightning in 7
Canes > Islanders in 5
Rangers > Devils in 7

Jets > Golden Knight in 7
Oilers > Kings in 6
Kraken > Avs in 7
Stars > Wild in 7 (But in all honesty, I don't care about this series)

4/6 so far. We'll see how tonight's game goes.

Bruins vs Panthers - in 5 games
Leafs vs Lightning - in 7 games
Hurricanes vs Islanders - in 6 games
Devils vs Rangers - in 7 games

Knights vs Jets - in 4 games
Avs vs Kraken - in 6 games
OilChange vs Kings - in 6 games
Stars vs Wild - in 7 games

Man, the fucking Knights & Hurricanes. If it weren’t for them, I’d still have a chance at locking up a perfect 0-8 record on Monday night.

When doing these, it's tough sometimes to separate who I think will win from who I want to win (like in the Boston Florida series, where I want Florida but have to say Boston)...

Bruins vs Panthers - in 5
Leafs vs Lightning - in 6
Hurricanes vs Islanders - in 7
Devils vs Rangers - in 7

Knights vs Jets - in 6
Avs vs Kraken - in 6
Oilers vs Kings - in 7
Stars vs Wild - in 5

Best I can do is 4 out of 8 now if NY wins.

Insane playoffs.

And for the most likely upset.....Florida over Boston. (check the season series...2-2. )

Not bad guesses by yours truly.

Pounds chest.

Stars in 5 (although I'm rooting for the Kraken)
Oilers in 6

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Leafs in 5.
Devils in 6.
Stars in 5.

[Wayward DP]

Well my round one picks were pretty shit.

But importantly, I picked Tampa in 5, and the Leafs won. So I will stick with predicting the Leafs to lose and then I'm unlikely to be disappointed.

Florida in 5
Devils in 7

Stars in 6
Oilers in 5

 

[Habsy]

First round only for now (post winners and number of games)

Leafs in six
Boston in five
Hurricanes in six
Oilers in seven
Avalanche in six
Dallas beats whomever in seven.
Golden showers piss over Jets in five
Rags beat Devils in seven

All in all not too bad. I'll forgive myself for choosing the presidents trophy winners and last year's cup champs.

 

[Habsy]

Round 2:

Panthers in 7
Devils in 7
Kraken in 7
Oilers in 6

Buckle up

Leafs 6
Devils 7
Stars 6
Knights 7
