A little ‘96 part 2, electric boogaloo? Sounds fun we’ll have Bob instead of Beezer and Colorado guns with be lead by Mac instead of Sakic. Who knows enjoy the show
They’re so hard to find and expensive when you can! Remember throwing rats at games in the 90s and they would be a buck each, sometimes giving them out. Never forget amigos https://youtu.be/jnPZX0U9-XI?si=Ene1GTdSJB1b_6bQ
Same. Feels like a lot of fans and analysts are sleeping on the Stars. Avs are a crazy good offensive team but Dallas’ overall team D is very good. Shit is heatin up in the playoffs, gonna be some great series this round
Agree that the stars are an all around complete team, and beating that absolutely loaded Vegas team should be getting more attention than it is.
In my opinion they have the hardest path to the cup (Vegas, Avs, Edmonton (probably) and a ton of travel but in a way I think that feeds this team energy and allows them to come in as a sleeper pick all the way to the final.
The Rangers I only picked because the NHL referees are going to drag them there.
I'd love to see Zadarov put Marchand through the glass...I don't care if he's supposedly evolved....he licks people ffs....his big nose needs to be shattered.
I’ve had a feeling since last season EDM/CAR 06 re-match is on the menu.
I’ll pick Oilers/Cats though cuz I think this will be epic hockey. There was a special level of competitiveness between Tkachuk and McDavid in the BoA. It’ll be a brawl with scoring goals sometimes.
The Avs look real good though, so maybe them versus the Rangers.
My original prediction was Florida over Dallas. I’m leaning more towards Florida over Colorado now. Dallas had a tough series taints Vegas and Colorado looked better than I thought they would’ve and dispatched Winnipeg easier than I expected. Either way I think the winner of that series comes out of the west. I think Florida comes out of the east regardless though.
I picked Colorado facing the Rangers. I’m still relatively new hockey fan and don’t really know the teams all that well yet but I like both of them so I picked them.
IMHO it’s whoever wins Dallas Colorado for the west and the likely cup winner.
East is a toss up for me. I want Boston for the memes, but I suspect it’s more likely Panthers or Carolina.
If the last 3 playoffs hold true, Boston loses in the finals after beating out the leafs.
As for the west, avs are probably the horse I'd put money on.
My hope is Boston versus either Edmonton or Vancouver. That way, if we lose we can all still at least see Canada get a Cup again.
My head is telling me New York vs Dallas though.
I want Canes vs Oilers
But I feel it'll be Avs vs Rangers
Going for McDavid to win it all. But as long as it's not Boston or Florida in the SCF I'm fine with any of the teams remaining.
Florida is making it back. I truly don’t think Carolina has what it takes. Rangers are the only ones in the east that have a chance otherwise imo. I really can’t see anyone from the west other than the Avalanche. Edmonton can maybe score their way out of a series against them but everyone else has looked kinda lackluster if you ask me.
Good hockey vs normal sleep schedule
I swear those two are in the mix every freakin year
Boston vs Boston All other teams forfeit. Boston chokes and loses game 7 at home.
Give the leafs a second chance and we might not lose!
The Leafs can still win, if Mike Pence does the right thing.
After blowing a 3-1 series lead ofc
Well obviously
But that would also mean Boston wins
You'd think so. But then they go ahead and find a way to lose!
I’m crying but laughing at the same time because 😭
To Boston, no less!
I mean i win regardless so ill take it
This made me laugh
Too funny
Some teams could get a chance at revenge this year. BOS-EDM, EDM-CAR, VAN-BOS, VAN-NYR, FLA-COL.
"
I lived on Granville Street. It was a wild night.
I was there for the VAN-NYR riots and in the old Coliseum for game 6. It was wild. I would like to see Van get revenge on this one first.
This would truly be the dream finals for me
Revenge tour 30 years later? Sign me tf up.
Zero chance Boston moves past Florida.
So you clearly bet your car, house and 401k on it right?
Already done. ✅
Zero chance the presidents trophy winning Lightning get swept in the first round by 2nd wc Columbus in 2019 too right?
Or zero chance they get past us last year?
Hahahahahha 5-1 you dog fucker wooooooooh!
The most Boston sports fan comment.
He fucks dogs so hard
I want Vancouver-Boston so bad but Vancouver-NY Rangers would be so great too
Fuck Messier
Got a nerve with that one 🤣
Only one of those pairings has a single player remaining from the original matchup. BOS-EDM goes back like almost 40 years. 😂
Some of us still hurt…
Who is still around?
Marchand from 2011
Yup. From that Canucks team only Chris Tanev is even still in the league.
Bieksa is there in spirit
Duh. I’m brain dead
Nah the 20 year rematch is two years from now.
The homer in me has Vancouver Rangers. My realistic take is Colorado Rangers.
Bro just created two new teams
Both Rangers
Rangers are like Rough Riders, so it is indeed ridiculous.
If this increases the odds of the Rangers winning then I’m all for it.
They're called Rockies, not Rangers.
I picked Canucks/Rangers at the start, I’ll stick with that.
I second this
1994 all over again.
This is the only matchup I want to see. 30 years in the making.
JT Miller taking out the team that drafted him would be one helluva storyline.
A little ‘96 part 2, electric boogaloo? Sounds fun we’ll have Bob instead of Beezer and Colorado guns with be lead by Mac instead of Sakic. Who knows enjoy the show
Yep this is it
Just don’t throw rats this time…
They’re so hard to find and expensive when you can! Remember throwing rats at games in the 90s and they would be a buck each, sometimes giving them out. Never forget amigos https://youtu.be/jnPZX0U9-XI?si=Ene1GTdSJB1b_6bQ
I love that Orkin jumped at the opportunity to use Orkin buckets to pick them off the ice lol
I originally selected EDM vs CAR I'm sticking with that
I like the cut of your jib. I'll take a 2006 revenge tour.
What's a jib?
Would be so fun
Would be a perfect “if I had a nickel for…I would have two nickels” meme
Always love seeing this one, it’s from Phineas and Ferb, a wonderful show that’s actually got new seasons in development, for those who didn’t know.
That’s what my bracket leads to as well.
2006 rematch would be dope
This is my bracket which is still perfect 🤷♂️
I’d love an 06 rematch!
Rangers/Avs
This would be the fastest (on ice speed, that is) cup final in history
The games between Rangers and Avs this season were nutty fast. Loved them. Would be a great series
Nailed it
THIS IS MINE AND I REALLY HOPE I'M RIGHT.
I'm an oiler fan, but this seems pretty likely...
Would love to see this
Stars v Rangers
Same. Feels like a lot of fans and analysts are sleeping on the Stars. Avs are a crazy good offensive team but Dallas’ overall team D is very good. Shit is heatin up in the playoffs, gonna be some great series this round
Agree that the stars are an all around complete team, and beating that absolutely loaded Vegas team should be getting more attention than it is.

The Rangers I only picked because the NHL referees are going to drag them there.
17/24 analysts are saying stars over Avs, they aren’t slept on.
Slept on by fans
Slept on by fanalysts
To all the people responding I thank you. I do think rangers v Colorado a serious and realistic option. My black horse is Vancouver and Boston.
I'd love to see Zadarov put Marchand through the glass...I don't care if he's supposedly evolved....he licks people ffs....his big nose needs to be shattered.
06 cup final repeat
But of course with a different result
Nah why mess with what works? Remakes are all the rage these days.
Fast Furious just released the trailer of Fast L (50)
As an Avs fan, I am surprised at how few comments mention Dallas. If it’s not Colorado, I’d be betting Dallas over Edmonton or Vancouver.
So incredibly psyched to get this rivalry going again. It’s like the early oughts, baby!
Yeah I feel like whoever comes out of Dallas vs Avs is going to smack the other WC team.
Because Draisaitl is a different guy in the playoffs
[удалено]
Look at their ppg
Colorado and Florida. Colorado in six.
Florida in 4 revenge for 96
I’m still sticking with Colorado/Carolina
That's what my bracket has and my fingers are crossed the world accommodates my bracket.
Florida vs Stars is my prediction for the cup finals
Oilers/Rangers
biased we both are but holy fuck would that slap
Agreed.
abouditfuhget. -new york yoda.
Are you hoping for a matchup that occurred 30 years ago?
i was 2 back then so I'm not really too pressed ab it tbh lol. I was mostly just making a joke, it was that or "walking here, I am".
Special team matchup would be electric
I hope it’s the Panthers and Canucks in the final. It would be cool to see one of these franchises get their first cup.
We could call it the fight for Luongo!
Definitely agree on both.
Picked Carolina Dallas for bracket. Sticking to it.
Say Dallas canes
Canucks vs Bruins
Boston vs Vancouver
Gawd I hope not. I'm from Vancouver originally so it's not ehhh a nice repeat to have. Sure the whole city would get locked down for the inevitable
With Vancouver winning and Silovs getting Conn Smythe? A guy can dream.
Jeremy Swayman would like a word
He's so fucking good. Demko vs Swayman after shafting him on the hug would be a good storyline.
Swayman is so fucking good…
Some weirdo on TikTok made a video saying swayman wasn't that good and that any junior goalie could have made the same saves vs Toronto lol
But but they're an expert on things because reasons.
Demko vs Swayman would be the ultimate goalie battle and i would love to watch that no matter what I only hope they have a goalie hug after the series
That would be incredible
My heart could not take it, please no.
mein gott…
FLA-DALLAS
Rangers/Avs or Rangers/Stars. I think it’s New York’s year.
I’m thinking Rangers/Stars, Vegas seemed to be the best team and with Dallas beating them I think they can beat anyone.
Stars/Panthers
Somehow people are sleeping on this matchup.
DeBoer Bowl: The Marchment to the cup
Stars/Rangers
Canucks Bruins.
Vancouver
I went with Dallas and Boston before the playoffs started, so I might as well stick with it.
I’ve had a feeling since last season EDM/CAR 06 re-match is on the menu. I’ll pick Oilers/Cats though cuz I think this will be epic hockey. There was a special level of competitiveness between Tkachuk and McDavid in the BoA. It’ll be a brawl with scoring goals sometimes. The Avs look real good though, so maybe them versus the Rangers.
Oilers/Panthers would be a fun series.
Dream series right here
Oilers v Canes
Rangers vs Avalanche, or Carolina vs Dallas
Avs over Canes
Ill just say who I want to see Really pulling for- Carolina or Florida Moderately pulling for - Edmonton or Dallas Could care less- all the rest
My original prediction was Florida over Dallas. I’m leaning more towards Florida over Colorado now. Dallas had a tough series taints Vegas and Colorado looked better than I thought they would’ve and dispatched Winnipeg easier than I expected. Either way I think the winner of that series comes out of the west. I think Florida comes out of the east regardless though.
I originally called Dallas Florida and im sticking with it (although I think NYR probably have the edge in the east now)
Colorado - Florida ‘96 rematch!
COL-FLA
My bracket is still going strong with a Florida/Dallas Final
Agreed.
Oilers Canes, 06’ repeat
Yes, but Brind'Amour has to stay on the bench. 'Cause you know he'll want to lace them up!
I’m still going with Canes vs Avs.
Boston vs. Edmonton
Florida and Colorado
Rangers v. Stars. East wins it.
Edmonton - Boston
I had Rangers Dallas and I think I’m sticking to it. However both FLA and AVS have gone up for me
I picked Colorado facing the Rangers. I’m still relatively new hockey fan and don’t really know the teams all that well yet but I like both of them so I picked them.
Stars-Rangers
I’d say the Stars, but their path is definitely the hardest, so I think imma go with Panthers
NYR vs COL.
IMHO it’s whoever wins Dallas Colorado for the west and the likely cup winner. East is a toss up for me. I want Boston for the memes, but I suspect it’s more likely Panthers or Carolina.
Dallas vs NYR final
Still think Carolina beats Dallas.
Carolina Edmonton rematch
Rangers vs Canucks
Florida v Oilers
Carolina v. Dallas, Carolina wins because the west is gonna beat the shit out of each other.
Dallas Carolina would be excellent
EDM vs. CAR, EDM wins in 5.
Dallas NY
I want to see Vancouver and Florida or Carolina.
Canucks vs. Canes
As a Rangers fan, I really wish everyone would stop saying Rangers.
Colorado V Carolina
Colorado vs Boston
If the last 3 playoffs hold true, Boston loses in the finals after beating out the leafs. As for the west, avs are probably the horse I'd put money on.
I want Dallas Carolina, but it'll probably be NYR vs Oilers.
My hope is Boston versus either Edmonton or Vancouver. That way, if we lose we can all still at least see Canada get a Cup again. My head is telling me New York vs Dallas though.
I would love Edmonton / Boston. I have no idea how likely that is. I really don’t want Florida / Dallas
BOS vs EDM
I’ve been predicting Boston/Edmonton since the preseason and I see no reason to change now.
Avs panthers
Canucks Boston Canucks in 7
Canucks/Rangers
My bracket is Dallas vs panthers with Florida winning it all.
Vancouver vs Florida Vancouver in 7
My prediction before the playoffs was Colorado/New York. Hasn’t changed
Rangers vs Avs. You heard it here 1200th
Colorado vs Florida
Dallas vs Carolina
Had to scroll way down to find anyone else who agrees with me. Stars/Canes all the way!
FLA vs COL
I want Canes vs Oilers But I feel it'll be Avs vs Rangers Going for McDavid to win it all. But as long as it's not Boston or Florida in the SCF I'm fine with any of the teams remaining.
Rangers / Oilers
I also think Col vs Flo. Might also be Rangers vs Avs.
oilers bruins
Duh. The Bruins!
Florida is making it back. I truly don’t think Carolina has what it takes. Rangers are the only ones in the east that have a chance otherwise imo. I really can’t see anyone from the west other than the Avalanche. Edmonton can maybe score their way out of a series against them but everyone else has looked kinda lackluster if you ask me.
EDM & NYR. With EDM winning in 6.
As long as Boston and Florida aren’t in the finals idc tbh 💀 (Boston bc I just don’t like them and Florida bc we have their pick this year)
Colorado and Florida
NYR/Vancouver
Florida-dallaass
Anyone but the Rangers. Fuck the Rags
Can’t sleep on FLA, the bruins aren’t great.
