Avs fan bracket – everything else stays the same but Avs win the Cup
It is amazing how difficult the Central and Atlantic portions of the brackets are (mostly the Central)

Drouin out .
Can't catch a break.

quote:
The Colorado Avalanche have announced that forward Jonathan Drouin is out for the first round versus the Winnipeg Jets with a lower-body injury. Obviously, this is not good news as Drouin was set to be a big part of the Avs’ offense, having scored 56 points this season for the team.

Drouin was injured in the game versus the Edmonton Oilers, in what many are calling an odd, innocent-looking play.

I'm guessing with the firepower on the first line we move somebody competent but unexciting like Parise up to the first line so we can keep the second line intact. And I would think if we are playing from behind we move Val Nichushkin up to the first.

Carolina gets the EN to go up 3-1. Islanders outshot them 35-26.

This Toronto/Boston series is a fantastic first round matchup. 1-0 Bruins early. There they are, waiting to have their hearts broken.

Toronto opened the game looking great for 5 minutes then gives up a 2 on 1 letting Boston score on their first shot

Sounds about right

4-0.

When you are so horny for hockey you tell fabulous lies to get out of a “social engagement “ so you can sit at home with your boys and watch hockey.

At least they finally won a playoff series last year. I know they're really itching to get that Bruins monkey off their back but that wasn't the way to start

The fact that no one has made a post in this thread in over an hour pretty much says all that needs to be said about the second period of the Florida-Tampa Bay game.
