NHL 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs / Pool Prediction Thread ~ Corona-Chan Edition ~

Playoff Update:



In a bit of a surprising turn of events tonight, the Calgary Flames manage to overcome two straight opening round playoff loses by defeating the Winnipeg Jets in 4 Games. It turns out that losing Patrick Laine and Mark Scheifele to injury was just too much for the Jets to overcome.

Amazingly, no one managed to pick up any points this time around, as everybody decided to go against the Flames in their picks and thought that the series wouldn’t go to four games, so nothing changes in the overall standings.

However, due to this result, no one can now qualify for the Brackcellent award, as everybody now has at least one blemish on their record.

Good job, Florida. You didn’t get swept. Now you just need to win two more.

And he almost succeeded! But it was Kentona who challenged WIP on that day when no one else could in a final showdown for all of the ages before he was able to press the nuclear button. That’s why this town has wiped WIP’s name and legacy straight from the hall of records, because so many lives were lost on that day...

Okay, I don't know how he gave birth to Liberty, that's a new one. Maybe she was just a common straggler before Kentona happen to took her in and taught her in the ways of the Ban Hammer and is now able to wield it like he once did as his successor. Now it's unclear whether he's still alive today or merely just a legend, so they weren't exactly 100% sure, so that's why they built this statue that looks nothing like him in the center of town to honor him instead, lol.

Figures Loui Eriksson has a chance to score on a 2-on-1 and his stick manages to break, lol. I can’t believe he managed to make a slight difference in the Canucks 4-3 win tonight. Maybe he might win the Conn Smythe for the Canucks after all, lol.

But what’s up with the schedule on Thursday for the Canucks and Wild game - 11:30 A.M., what the hell!? Everybody’s going to be at work over here, no one’s going to be able to watch it. Heck, even the Islanders and Panthers game is on early too, that's dumb.

*sigh* Oh well. I guess it's time to break out the PVR and hope no one spoils anything at work!

@ GreatRedSpirit - Just tell us the truth; you’re tired of winning these things so you decided to take a break and let the rest of us losers have a chance this year. (Bless you...)

@ JDogg1717 - Yep, you made it. I just added in your picks and what not up top, so you're good to go.

Last call for signups! There are only 11 hours remaining before the deadline officially closes.

Come on, what are you waiting for!? We’re all doing pretty terrible so far, so this is like a golden opportunity for you to swoop in and potentially win yourself some achievos! (You like achievos, don’t you?)

Hey, don’t panic just yet - it’s still early! Everything will work out JUST fine if you simply just believe...

(Although the Oilers did play pretty badly until the latter half of the third period. I expected it to be close, but - oof - not like this.)

Jets Over Flames In 3
Hey, someone’s gotta sweep at least one team in this round and I think this is the one that it’s going to happen. Connor Hellebuyck frustrates the shit out of the Flames’ offence and give them headaches.

So much for that prediction, lol.

Yeah, you just need to post your picks in here for who you think is going to win the Qualifying Round, we make our other selections after each round has concluded, so no need to make those right now, and your Stanley Cup Champion pick and that’s it.

Speaking of that, I better put my picks down before the Oilers and Blackhawks game is on.

Qualifying Round:
Oilers Over Blackhawks In 5
A healthy Corey Crawford should make this competitive for the Hawks. But the Oilers should end up winning this series and move on no problem.

Predators Over Coyotes In 4
On paper, the Predators look like the much better team in pretty much every aspect, so I’m going to go with them. Coyotes do manage to get one, though.

Canucks Over Wild In 5
My gut tells me Minnesota's going to win but my heart obviously wants the Canucks to win. I think this one will be REALLY close...but the Canucks should manage to just squeak by in a Game 5 Overtime.

Jets Over Flames In 3
Hey, someone’s gotta sweep at least one team in this round and I think this is the one that it’s going to happen. Connor Hellebuyck frustrates the shit out of the Flames’ offence and give them headaches.

Penguins Over Canadiens In 5
Matt Murray’s struggles in net continue as they BARELY manage to squeak out of this one alive.

Panthers Over Islanders In 5
Sergei Bobrovsky manages to wake up in Game 2 and the Panthers finally manage to get revenge on the Islanders for that first round series loss a couple of years ago. (Yay!)

Hurricanes Over Rangers In 5
The Rangers manage to win two straight games before the Hurricanes realize “oh shit” and win the next three in a row in dramatic fashion.

Leafs Over Blue Jackets In 4
John Tortorella blows a giant gasket while Kyle Dubas smiles from afar as the referee make a horrible call against the Blue Jackets in Game 4 that manages to screw them over (because Toronto).

Stanley Cup Champion:
Dallas Stars
I’ve been going back and forth between Nashville, Colorado, Washington – and even the Toronto Maple Leafs (oh god) to win the Stanley Cup. But I ultimately decided to pick Dallas because I picked them in the beginning of the year to at least make the Stanley Cup Finals so I should probably continue to stick with them like the good little solider that I am. Although strategy-wise it might make more sense to pick someone like the Predators, Leafs, or maybe even the Oilers to get as many points as possible, I just have a good feeling about Dallas this year, so I'm going to go with them. And I would pick Colorado but I haven't done too well over the last couple of years picking the safe / popular bet in these pools, so I'm going to go with a "somewhat" safe bet instead with the Stars.

The Lord Stanley Cup Champions of 2020 will be....

The Vancouver Canucks



(Loui Eriksson MVP??? Frankly, I would be happy with him if he just scored two goals in this thing, let alone show up.)

- Hey, wait a minute, how come you're not going with the Blue Jackets or the Hurricanes in the qualifiers, Kory? Those were your go-too picks last year and they ended up paying off major dividends. What happened???

I WILL WIN THE CUP OF LORD STANLEY
