    Day to Day NHL Playoffs Predictions Thread

    With the ever changing playoff picture, thought it could be interesting to see all the changes and how people think the playoffs would change based on certain teams getting in or moving up. Will be interesting to see if anyone changes their Stanley Cup champion as the weeks progress.

    as of March 9th, 2012; 1:45pm

    Eastern Conference
    (1)New York over (8) Washington
    (7) Ottawa over (2) Boston
    (6) New Jersey over (3) Florida
    (4) Pittsburgh over (5) Philadelphia

    (1) New York over (7) Ottawa
    (4) Pittsburgh over (6) New Jersey

    (4) Pittsburgh over (1) New York

    Western Conference
    (1) St. Louis over (8) San Jose
    (2) Vancouver over (7) Phoenix
    (3) Dallas over (6) Chicago
    (5) Nashville over (4) Detroit

    (1) St. Louis over (5) Nashville
    (2) Vancouver over (3) Dallas

    (2) Vancouver over (1) St. Louis

    Stanley Cup Finals
    Pittsburgh over Vancouver

    Notes
    - East is a two team race IMO between the Pens and the Rangers.
    - West after the first round is a crap shoot. But I think Vancouver can repeat back in.
    - I do base a lot of this on the news today of Crosby coming back. If he comes back, I think this is a fairly safe play if he plays like he did earlier in the season.
    All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

    "rammer" and "cummings"

    The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

    Well the Atlantic changed big time tonight with a Rangers loss effectively making the 1 seed a 2 horse race again.

    The Rangers have a huge 7 game homestand coming up including some very weak opponents but also Pittsburgh and Detroit all pretty much spaced one day apart. I would like to see 10 pts and definitely a win against the Pens in that span.

      You're not being a homer or anything... Nope, not at all.

      Pens will beat us then lose to the Bruins. NY beats Washington, Devils over Panthers.

      You set up your prediction so it gives your team the easiest possible road to the finals.

        Did you even fucking read the damn top where it says DAY TO DAY. As in any time someone wants to make a prediction they can do so as the standings change. I did nothing of the sort of setting up the easy road, as I do believe Ottawa can knock off Boston and the 3rd seed is a joke seed at this point considering they would be in 7th if it was done by poiints.

        I even noted in the bottom the I feel either way it shapes up, New York and Pittsburgh are the two teams to beat in the East.

          Bruins are probably the only team I wouldn't want Ottawa to face and don't have any confidence in beating. Add Penguins as well. Tired of that match up. Would be more comfortable in 6th going into playoffs tbh. Not a free pass but better than Boston.

            Woah man, don't get too angry. I'm sorry if it seemed harsh, it's just that time of year I hate anything related to Pittsburgh. I can definitely make you feel better though by saying that I'm petrified to see Bryz in net against you guys in the first round. I wish that he can at least have a playoff primer before facing you guys.

              Detroit has been flopping lately but we have been without Datsyuk, Lidstrom and other key role players.

                I hope that the Blackhawks do get Dallas, because that is the one team I dont know enough about to fear.

                    Buffalo gonna make it in? With a 2pt cushion over the Caps right now ...

                    vs Pit
                    @ Tor
                    vs Tor
                    @ Phi
                    @ Bos

                    Washington finishes

                    @ Bos
                    vs Mon
                    @ TB
                    vs Flo
                    @ NYR

                    Buffalo has the tie-breaking factor sewn up in their favour.

                    But I don't think they'll need it, Buffalo will make it in by 1-3 points. Agree?

                      Washington has it easy. Mon/TB are toast. Fla/NYR should be locked in by those games.

                      Although Buffalo has a free 4pts from the Maple Lolz, Phi/Bos could also be playing for nothing..

                        Huge win for the Caps tonight getting an OT win at Boston. Tied with Buffalo for the 8th seed now

                          Buffalo still have the hammer but do Pittsburgh lose 3 in a row at this stage of the season? Either way Washington still needs to gain another point.
