heads would roll if that happened

Trotz system would drive sid and geno nuts. But Shero is big on family and wants to be Nashville, so theres a great chance Trotz ends up there.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

sid and geno did ok under therrien, so i wouldn't be too worried about them

I may change my pick to stars over ducks. That wouldn't surprise me.

Teemu Selanne is so fucking classy.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't think the Stars are good enough. While a Bruce coached team tends to fall flat, I don't expect it to happen in the first round this year.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

bonzo thinks all of the teams that performed well (Avs, Blues, Ducks) are really bad for some reason.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah, nothing really that Trotz did wrong. It's just the NHL coaching carousel. Time for a change. He'll have a new job in no time. Toronto for sure has to be taking a long look at him.
When he came over to the Avs bench and grabbed Giguere to skate those laps with him, I wept. One of the coolest moments I've seen, two guys in opposing sweaters, taking laps around the ice as both teams and a full house of fans cheer them on. Simply awesome.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

you also have the Blues and Avs out in round one, and you have the Ducks winning in six when I said I "might" change my pick and it "wouldn't surprise me....so what's your point?

I have this feeling the Bruins can win this I also feel like the Red Wings can knock us off so, somebody in 7?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So many good series in this first round. This is going to be so awesome.

Also, can't wait for HNIC's opening montages:

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Central champs, baby! I thought the Avs might be a playoff-caliber team with MacKinnon and Roy in the mix, but winning our division is a wonderful surprise.

I'm still not hopeful we'll get beyond the second round as the West is pretty damned tough. (I feel like the West has been routinely stronger than the East for much of the last 10-15 years.) But it's still a helluva lot better than watching everyone else in the playoffs!

I would love a Wings/Avs Cup matchup, but with Colorado beating the hated red filth, of course.

Such a cool move yesterday. :thumbsup

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Forgot how good Howard was in that series, especially in game 4. He'll need to do that again if they want any chance at beating the Bruins.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Wings need to find a way to get it to 2-2 and then hope to get the captain back. I think B's in 6. It'll be a close series no matter what so one deflection, or one bad goal can change a lot.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

guys, I am so so so excited. This is my favorite time of year

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I've defended Bickell all season, even when he played like dog turd at the beginning of the year, and I believe I said I would bet my life he has an enormous playoff again....now we see.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Best time of year. LOVE the first round because you never have any idea what's gonna happen. Plus, hockey on every freaking night (a few times a night) for 2 weeks. Fuck the NBA. The unpredictability is what helps make this great.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

there is no greater sporting moment to watch than OT playoff hockey.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

greatest tournament in the world

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

My favorite sporting event is playoff hockey. :thumbsup (Especially when my team actually makes it!)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'm already flipping out. Last year with no playoffs, man. It's been two years since we got knocked out by the Devils. I'm ready.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah getting excited
