Well, the Golden Knights decided to show the fuck up today. Let's hope they can keep the momentum for Sunday's game.

holy cow, Thrashers. What do we even call sweeping a good team and getting swept by a terrible one, a swop?

So now it's just a question of who'll be sweeping Les Habs in the next round.

It's a Canadian team in the NHL, lolcowdom should be expected. Not one of Canada's teams won the Stanley Cup since 1993.

Fucking Carolina, I had faith and believed in your ability to make it to the promised land of playoff hockey, yet you fell and died in 5 to the Bolts. Sure the Lightning are a machine but you did nothing to inspire confidence.

And so we have our first complete semi-final matchup: NYslanders vs Lightning. Will the reigning champs make it back to back Stanley Cup Finals or will they revert back to their choking ways?

EDIT: Complete according to the official NHL site, although I'm not sure if everything will be re-seeded or something. Either way, Bruins are out, Isles are through.

I'm thinking Bolts over Isles, and the winner of Knights v Avs will destroy the Habs and lose to the Bolts.

I'd love to watch that. Hell, a friend of mine is going to Vegas for a week-long bachelor party and was hoping that the Knights would advance so he could go to a game while there. Which, with them winning today vs the Avs, it looks like he'll be able to do just that.

Bolts and Knights would lead to an epic party in Vegas, and I can actually go! That's my prediction and an epic series!

That's the matchup I'm hoping for. Isles beat the Bruins, so can't root for them.

Montreal is Montreal, so no. :lol:

Ideally Tampa does not repeat but I'd rather they be the ones closer to the Cup than NY.
