Playoff predictions

I think SJ takes a big step back next year. They'll lose Karl and Jumbo, Pavelski needs a new contract, Nyquist may leave, and lots of RFA/UFAs. The good thing for them is the Sens didn't get any of their good prospects (Meier, Labanc, Chmevelski, etc) so they will be fine in a year or two. They should have been out in the first rd had it not been for a BS penalty call. Hoping their pick next year is a lottery pick

I could maybe see them failing to make the playoffs but there’s gonna need a lot of things for them to be in the bottom 10 of the league.

Kyle Bukauskas interviewed Marchand after the game and got 1-2 word answers to all his questions. That was in retaliation to an earlier interview where Kyle's last question was "Did you get your skate sharpened?" after that stuck stomping incident the game before. Marchand can sure dish it out but he can't take it.

Marchand's just the worst.  

I feel bad for Columbus, but that's how it goes.

Wish I had stayed up for that Colorado/San Jose game, but it's great we get another game 7 to enjoy.  

I don't know if I am cheering for or against SJ. As far as the pick goes, I believe they get another 1st if both these conditions are met:
- SJ wins the cup; and
- Karlsson is re-signed

I just can't see both those conditions being met. But the possibility of having 3 first rd picks next season (Ott, SJ, and maybe Clb) and two the year after (Ott, SJ) would be awesome.

One minor correction. The Sharks don’t have to win the Cup, they just need to make the finals and re-sign Karlsson.
I will definitely be fine with the Columbus pick staying in the 18 or 19 spot dependent on Dallas winning game 7 if it means San Jose making the Cup Finals and giving us another 1st if they can re-sign Karlsson. 1 spot difference this season for an extra 1st in 2021. I’ll take that. With that said, I don’t see Karlsson staying in San Jose.

I’d rather he stay in SJS than somehow wind up in Tampa.

That would cripple Tampa.

Financially? What if Point gets offer sheeted? Maybe they take the picks and get kalrsson for free. There might be quite the turnaround on the blue line this summer in Tampa. Anything is possible with Tampa.

Dallas just lost. Our pick stays at 19th for now. Don’t really care who wins tomorrow’s game. We have conditional picks riding on both teams that could advance.

With the Blues win Tim and I move to within 3 of Ev.

I’m glad the blues won. That’s another fan base that can use it. I don’t take too kindly to Dallas and their lower tax bracket .

And now for SJS to take it tonight.

Imo Boston is the best team remaining

With the Sharks winning in 7 I take over done possession of 2nd, keeping within 3 of Ev.
CAR @ BOS
STL @ SJS

Game 1 of the ECF guess tonight at 8. Picks in by pick drop.

Boston in 6
SJS in 6

STL in 4
CAR in 6

STL 6
BOS 6

CAR 7
STL 6

Here’s hoping SJS takes it because no one else picked em’. (I need the points)

SJ in 6
Boston in 5

Car in 6
STL in 5
