Speculation: Third Round Predictions

[brentashton]

Quick and Dirty:

Edmonton in 7
Colorado in 7

Florida in 6
Rangers in 5

Just like those underwear flying from YEG City Hall’s flag pole.

@5 Mins 4 Ftg

What I hate about sports is in full display on Twitter with this feud between Oilers and Canucks fans. Of particular note is that disturbing video of that boy (looks age 12 or so) shouting F Zach Hyman and McDavid to the cheers of the crowd around him.

It’s Twitter, the land of the mindless and brain dead. Social media brings humanity down to its lowest common denominator.

Edmonton in 5
Dallas in 7 (I'm convincing myself Dallas will win because I am far less confident that we can beat Colorado)
Florida in 6
I had Carolina over the Rangers in 7 before the series started, but with the Rangers up 2-0, I think I was wrong. My prediction as of right now is Rangers in 6, but I'll consider it a loss in my own mind anyway as I had the Hurricanes first.

Colorado is better (I’m inferring this from your post) so you’re picking Dallas. Makes no sense.

If this was a response to me without quoting, I think Dallas and Colorado are both very good, but I think we match up better with Dallas. I'm picking Dallas, because I'm hoping we meet Dallas. That doesn't necessarily mean that Dallas is worse than Colorado, but I think Colorado would be our hardest matchup of any team remaining in the playoffs, unless Georgiev soils the sheets.

ROUND 3

Round 1
Edm over LA in 6 (5)
Dal over Veg in 7
Win over Col in 6
Van over Nash in 7 (6)

NYR over Wash in 5 (4)
Car over NYI in 7 (5)
Bos over Tor in 7
Fla over TB in 6 (5)

7 out of 8. 2 dead on. I should have bet actual money instead of underwear.

Round 2
Edm over Van in 6 (7)
Col over Dal in 7
NYR over Car in 7 (6)
Fla over Bos in 6

10 out of 12, 3 dead on. Not sure what I was thinking with Dallas Colorado.

Round 3
Edm over Dal in 6
Fla over NYR in 6

 

[MoneyGuy]

Rangers in 6 and Dallas in 5 or 6. The Stars will light Skinner up.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Florida in 6, and Edmonton in 7.

 

[lopper]

NYR and Edmonton both in 7 games

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Oilers and Rangers both in 6.

Oilers got away with some bad turnovers and poor goaltending in spots against both LA and Vancouver, I doubt they can advance against Dallas with the same issues. They have to rise to the occasion in all facets and I am hopeful they will.

 

[Canovin]

The Oilers need to play flawlessly if Skinner is in net

 

[bellagiobob]

Oilers and FLA, both in six.

 

[Mr Sakich]

this may be the best quality final 4 in many years. 3 divisional winners and the other (oilers) were the best team in the nhl for the last 3/4 of the season.

As much as I want the oilers to win, there are 4 teams who would be legitimate winners. If the oilers win, this is one for the ages.

Oilers over Panthers for the cup is what my heart says. My brain cannot pick a winner because it is so even.

The Rangers seem like an unbeatable juggernaut. Much like Colorado 2 years ago.

Rags were outplayed for much of the series against the Canes. Pretty fortunate to win the series. Of the four teams left, they seem like the weakest to me.

Florida and Dallas both in 6. If Skinner plays more than a game, it’ll be ugly.

This take is already looking bad.
