2012 NHL Thread

Better late than never since we haven't had one in a while.

The east is pretty much wide open but I think the Bruins and the Pens (if Crosby and Staal are back) are going to be a very touch out in the east and as much as I want to pick the Red Wings in the west, The STL can beat anyone if Brian Elliot gets hot. I'll make the gutsy call and say they come out of the west and hope Staal and Crosby get healthy because the homer in me really wants to pick the Pens in the east. Don't really trust the Flyers or the Rangers to show up when it counts even though the Flyers are loaded as always.

Never seen anything like this in my life. Don't even care that I'm talking to myself at this point.

The Pens are refusing to play defense for some reason. 2 SH goals and the 5th came seconds after the Pens went up after Lovejoy litteraly handed the puck to Cotourier who could have read a magazine as he skated in on Floury. When you score 8 goals in two home games in the playoffs you should at the very least be tied in the series.

There's simply no excuse to give up ten goals at home. That's the kind of game that can turn a 3-0 series.
