Another 3 games in 4 nights?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Who is doing the scheduling? While the breaks are nice, 3 games in 4 nights is NEVER fun. At least the travel is tame: home, Columbus, off, Nashville.

As Vancouver is uncatchable, will the Wings settle for a 2nd, 3rd or other place finish?

Isn't the 2nd seed a somewhat undesirable position or something like that? Haven't people called it the "dreaded 2nd seed"? Why is that?

Well, the modern playoff format was introduced 1994. From then until 2007 a seventh seed (sometimes both) had knocked off a second seed every single year except once, in 1996. Then it took a break for a little while, but it happened again last year.

I don't know if that's actually unusual relative to the other matchups, though.

Modern bracket.

I would like to hold second seed, simply because if we play Vancouver I would like to play them in the finals, it would make for a great WCF. Last year yes the 2nd seed got downed in the eastern conference but not western, hell, they won the cup last year.

It will happen this year... But it will be the flyers running in to a hot goalie and their rookie goalie struggling... And yes that means Caps take the conference. Heard it here first (e4)

This year, you have about six legit teams that could win it all....I think the Wings have as good of a shot as anyone! My prediction...Vancouver goes out early. I know..everyone will think I am an absolute nutjob for saying so but they have peeked too early. Kesler gets burnt out (happened last year) and without depth, fatigue will kill you. Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, Phx...even Anaheim could all vie for the 8th spot I think any these teams could really pressure the Canucks. Ill eat crow if I am wrong, but it would be the 1st time that a team lead all year and were golfing after the 1st round.

Well the Caps did win the Winter Classic. Or rather, the Caps were the road team in the Winter Classic. Spooooookyyyy.

Luckily, the Eastern teams we play that are coming into our rink, will be playing the 2nd of the back to backs (Caps and Pens). We need to take advantage and really take it to these teams and hit our stride. I feel it coming, just wait and see wink.gif
