Hawks vs Avs in Western Conference finals, plz.

I'ma try to watch more hockey this year than I did last season (and pretty much every season since Roy retired/ESPN stopped carrying hockey).

Do work, hockey fans.

Re: NHL thread. 2011-12 season.

There's major pressure on the Flyers this year after they traded away 2 of their top offensive weapons in order to have the cap room needed to sign the top goalie available. Something they've desperately needed in a while is a goalie and was it worth it will be a big question.

Re: NHL thread. 2011-12 season.

Nucks have the most pressure for their nonstop failing every year and especially after choking away that Cup last year and not even scoring in game 7. Its still so much fun making fun of their fans though, they have no one to blame but themselves and their arrogance though.

It's probably best for the Nucks to stay away from the deep in the playoffs or the city might get burned to the ground this year if they lose again.

Avs won't even make the playoffs lol, still way to young of a team and if they somehow make it in, they will be bounced in the first round.

Penguins will be hoisting the cup this year, will beat the Hawks in 6.

Malkin wins Art Ross and Crosby wins Conn Smythe.

I'm leaning towards the Hawks which is a major ugh with my girlfriends' dad being a Hawks fan. I'll have to hear about it all over again.

Re: NHL thread. 2011-12 season.

I've actually been surprised at how many sports outlets (writers on NHL.com, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated) have picked the Pens to win. I mean they're good yes, but there's a lot of question marks around Staal, Crosby, and Malkin.
Probably stems back to last year when they played the 2nd half of the season without either of them and came a point away from winning the Atlantic.

Malkin's knee is finally 100% and has looked dominant in the preseason, and Neal finally has a full training camp under his belt. Solid defense as well.

Add Crosby to that lineup and it is solid from top to bottom, should be a good year if the injury bug stays away.

Re: NHL thread. 2011-12 season.

Idk, I think theyll win the division unless van riemsdyk has a massive breakout year in philly. I see Philly crumbling under the pressure tbh. Boston is good but I dont think they're as good as they seemed last year. Thomas was super human, can't expect that again. Caps/pens in the ECF in my opinion, which will be epic.

Anyone else intrigued by the Blues this year?

I have Blues making the playoffs. Halak needs to have a bounce back year though and play like he did with Montreal, he was terrible last year.

Perron should be back sometime soon as well.
