*****Official 2017 NHL Playoffs Thread With Contest*****

[CaliforniaChief]

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!

This is some awful moderating

I'd get it if this was the "official Penguins thread," but it's not. Bearcat showing his ass here. If you can't take someone talking shit on your team, the thread isn't for you.

You can't troll Pens fans on a Chiefs board?

I wish I could get hit in my forehead with a slap shot.

Problem with the Sens in this series so far is they're playing 100% defense with the 1-3-1 trap and it's frustrating the Pens, but they're not turning any of those defensive stands into offense.

At some point, they're going to have to take chances and get goals on the board.

That's what i don't understand. Most of my shots are directed at the Pens. If the Wings or Hawks were around, they would be fired at them...he's an Avalanche guy supposedly, so i don't understand.

[Trent Green GOAT]

Friendly reminder.

**** the pens.

Finally, after all these years I will be heading to a Western Conference Final game in a few hours, Its been a long ride, bumpy and frustrating at times and thrilling at others. Hate it for Blues fans on here, but they let go of some pieces and could have easily won the series, it was very close. Pretty much suffocated the Preds first line and Allen is only going to get better. The Ducks are going to be hitting hard yet again, so hope the Preds are ready to hit back. And make those bastards pay when they get a penalty!

"Fangfinger" is one the worst things in all of hockey.

As a Ducks fan, enjoy the game sir. I loved the many games I've seen at Bridgestone - great atmosphere.

And they had some offense the first two series... it's not a terrible strategy when you know you're outmatched, but yeah, you're more than likely not going to shut them down enough to win 1-0 or 2-1 every night.

Congrats! Didn't get to watch much of the first two periods, but it seemed to really pick up in the 3rd... looks like a blast, would love to catch a playoff game there one day... even if the fans do have a loose grasp on "goalie interference"

Hahah it is a bit cheesy! Gibson was awesome, damn near stole that game. Thanks, it is a fun atmosphere!

The 3rd was absolutely crazy. The 1st one seemed a bit iffy, but the 2nd was pretty much 100% goalie interference. But the 'goal off the moaring' thing was a bit questionable too. I hate that rule, the Sharks goalies used to pull that crap all the time, they may still, but I have not noticed it as much.

[Bearcat]

Holy shit.
