SS and Dmcbrickster are now accepting applications....

That's not a bad play DBFP. I legitimately believe they're coming out of the west. Mentally tough, fundamentally sound, refuse to deviate from their system, and a total team belief. Throw in the world class tending of Rinne, and they are a tough ****ing out.

EDIT: And I wrote on another board - Radulov has been a stud since coming back. That locker room is so strong with veteran leadership, he fell right into place and is contributing within what the team is trying to do system wise. He is a beast at both ends of the rink. His goal in the deciding game the other night was a great reward for a player that has been doing EVERYTHING the right way since coming back.

dont sleep on the blues

After the 10-3 spanking I didn't think the Flyers were going to do it. In the first round predictions, I had the Flyers in 7 but after that game, I saw a lot of things that scared the **** out of me.

As an aside - when I did the first round predicitons, I also did the rest of my pool straight through and came up with Preds/Flyers SCF.

The only one I've picked wrong so far is the LA/VAN series. I also picked an OTT upset over the Rags.

I would've been a tad worried if they hadn't put so much pressure on the pens in the 3rd period of game 5. once I saw that I knew the pens weren't going to take it unless the flyers gave it away.

Lukin - I love the Blues. Huge fan. Backes is one of my favorite players in the league. Huge Blues fan.

Civ - Radulov's agent hinting about going back to Russia is posturing. If that was the case, I don't think he would've even come over for the 10 regular season games and playoffs. Poile and his asst GM have been pressuring Radulov to come back since January. And I don't disagree that he may have been flaky, I also believe he's matured a bit.

Hoodlum - totally agree. This is NSH's best look at the Cup this year.

I think he came over to close out his ELC deal

I got Nashville bet in when they were 18 to 1 to win cup after the deadline. I am a huge Preds fan going forward. If not the flyers hopefully the Preds

Yup, exactly my point. Why even bother only to go back to Russia.

[Cheyney]

Agreed DMC. If not the Flyers, I'm all in for the Preds. As a hockey fan, there's a lot to like about the way they play the game and the makeup of that roster.

not to mention I was down there for the flyers preds game in January and those fans were awesome, cool city
