*****Official 2017 NHL Playoffs Thread With Contest*****
I thought it would be cool to have a thread for the best postseason in sports, the NHL Playoffs.
Even though my Kings are out, I love watching the playoffs and wish the best to all of you with your teams. Here's the link for the bracket predictor. https://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/leagues/chiefsplanet The password is Lonewolf and I hope we can get some of you in there with a bracket. Enjoy!

Guys are losing board battles to smaller players in the offensive zone. Guys are trying to clear the defensive zone with one hand on their stick. The three Nashville goals today: 1: Steen refuses to sell out to block the shot. 2: All three forwards late getting back, still in neutral zone. 3: Were outworked in their own zone, Eddie with a piss poor clear attempt. The bright side is that they played like complete ass for all but about 10-15 minutes today, hit three posts and were still in the game until the end. They are the better team, but they aren't playing like it. |

No, they aren't the better team.

i'd say they pretty clearly are
the only thing st. louis has on nashville is depth at forward, but, even then, the preds first line is better than any line the blues have. arvidsson-johansen-forsberg is one of the best lines in the league. not to mention the best top-4 defense in the league. for the record, i'm not a preds or blues fan, so there's no bias here either way. |

I'd love to see the Blues with a true first line center... watching Tarasenko is like watching JC on the Chiefs (but like franchise QBs, franchise centers don't grow on trees). And of course Stastny would be a really good 2nd line center. As inept as they've been on offense, that little pipe dream would go a long way towards getting them over the hump. And WTF, Oilers, let's not make this another 7-0 game.

I mean, Tavares is UFA at the end of next year and the Islanders are kind of a mess...i could see the Blues being a great fit for him. That said, Fabbri is someone I could see being a very good 1C. I know he's mostly played at LW thus far in the NHL, but he was drafted as a center and certainly has the skillset to be a great distributor. He's a big loss for em right now. |

All you are saying is they have played a better three game stretch, because at best the teams are even in any metric.

Never been to an NHL game but always wanted to. I am going to be in Nashville this week and see there is game tomorrow night. Is it worth it to go?

Yes, one of the best game experiences you can have. A bit biased since I live here but it's a fun time.
