Official 2011-2012 NHL Regular Season Thread; Second Period

Bah! My prediction is whoever wins the 4-5 matchups, wins the Cup this year (Flyers!) Yeah, I'm bold and I'm proud of it!

I stand by my prediction that Rangers fold due to Lundqvist unable to keep playing at his current level. The guy is worn out. He won't hold up in a long series. Buffalo or Washington will come out of that one.
 
I agree. The winner of the Battle for Pennsylvania will win the SC.

Fleury runs the same risk as Lundqvist does. I think Fleury has even played more then Lundqvist. He hasn't been all that sharp for the last couple weeks. I can see the Pens flaming out in the first round unless the Philly goalies play worse than Fleury.

Speaking of burned out goalies. You see how many games Pekka Rinne has played? 71....yes....seventy one. If anyone, he is the guy who may be at the biggest risk. Hiller is tied with Rinne, but he isn't going to the playoffs.

Pffft. No team led by the Sweet Sisters is a "Canadian" team in my book. Where's HandofSeven these days? I'd like to hear what he has to say about it......

And to jog your memory, it was last year. I think the Bruins had like 17 or 18 Canadians dressed.
