Who do you think will advance in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs?

Does nobody post here?.

You know it's the one thing I miss most about reddit, so I thought I'd try to get some discussion going with the playoffs afoot
- Yeah it would be good if it's more active. Reddit is just a cess pool but I miss the Colorado Avalanche sub Reddit and the hockey one.
  
  Who's your team? Or are you bandwagonning?

Washington Capitals vs. Montreal Canadians?

Caps need to snap out of this funk that they've been in for the last month or so.
- I didn't realize they were in a funk, I was eclipsed by the Ovi record chase. What'd you think of their play last night?

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators?

I think Toronto takes this one. Battle of Ontario!
- As a sens fan, I hope not lol, should be a great series though, really looking forward to it
Leafs. I clearly haven’t learned my lesson.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars?

I hope the Avs. Tf happened to Dallas in the last few weeks?!
- Ya, the Avs are looking elite this year. Not as tuned into the Stars, but agreed their last ten isn't looking great.
- It's pretty common to fall off at the end of the regular season, all the teams who have no chance of moving up or down in their brackets (in order to gain home ice or face a more favorable contender) rest their top talent. The Avs last few games saw their fourth line promoted to first, and lines 2-4 populated with dudes who didn't see any I've time this year. No use in risking injury for games that literally don't matter.

Winnipeg Jets vs. St. Louis Blues?

Assuming Ehlers recovers and everyone else stays healthy, the Jets can absolutely take the series.
As a Blues fan, I'd love to say us, but I don't see us getting past the Jets. Especially if Holloway is still out.
- Ya... That's a tough matchup for the blues, but it's the playoffs, anything can happen!

Las Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild?

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers?

I must've been asleep b/c I didn't recall the Panthers' having slipped so far toward the end of the regular season that Tampa got home ice advantage. Hell, the cats finished only one point ahead of the Sens! Granted, they were missing Tkachuk and Marchand for a good chunk there. Based on how well they turned it around in Tampa, I won't be surprised if they complete the sweep in Sunrise.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. New Jersey Devils?

Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings?
