Here I go watching hockey again. Unfotunatly my man Connor McDavid couldn't carry Edmonton hard enough to make playoffs so I'm pulling for the Wild this season.

Who are you cheering for?
What are your predictions for round 1?
Discuss.

Toronto Maple Leafs. Auston Matthews is a thrill to watch on the ice, and Anderson has been an amazing goaltender all year round. It's going to be very close between them and the Bruins.

Flyers Fan for life

That said, I was pumped all day long for game 1 tonight and after the first 2 goals I knew it was going to be a bloodbath. I am so angry right now after this 7-0 loss that my wife just straight up went to sleep after the 4th goal and my cats have deserted me.

Hall's been unreal this season, Hischier's doing really well and Will Butcher has been a major sleeper. Playing Tampa but we've beaten them all season so the series should be a solid w

RIP Vancouver Canucks, we suck at being good, and then when sucking actually matters, we suck at that too.

Cheering for the Jets all playoffs, they're a super fun to watch team, and even though he's not playing, I do love Toby Enstrom and would love to see some of the former thrashers vets get a cup like Bryan Little too, super under rated hard worker. I've also always appreciated Paul Stastny, and think it would be cool for him to win as well. That said, I think every team has an aging vet without a cup I'd be happy to see win one.

However, I'm super worried about them, New Jersey, and Boston's chances to go deep. Most teams that are led by young talent and first time playoff talent tend to have some degree of struggle before going deep. Thinking back to the first time the Kings made the playoffs with Doughty/Kopitar leading, and they struggled despite being a good team. First time playoff talent tends to have growing pain, and because of that I worry how deep those 3 teams go. Boston is at least powered by a very tenured core of Rask/Chara/Krejci/Bergeron/Marchand

I wouldn't be surprised if we got swept by the Ducks and I also wouldn't be surprised if we swept them, The Sharks are hard to gauge this year. No matter what, it's nice to prove that this team has a direction in the post Marleau-Thornton era. I think it's very plausible that we make it to the WCF, but I don't fancy our chances against the Preds.

I get that everyone's on the Ovechkin train, but Vegas winning in their first ever season is a way better storyline I'm sorry.

Perhaps, but one of the greatest goal scorers of all time finally defeating his biggest playoff kryptonite in the Penguins, advancing to his first cup finals, and cementing his legacy with a stanley cup ring is a pretty good story line too
