Avalanche

[Invictus]

Guy LaFleur played 16 seasons with a Canadian team.
16 will be the number of wins my first selection will achieve!

Florida Panthers

[4T2]

I’ll take the closest team I consider a lock for a division title and go with the Flames.

Can someone message Zorro for me?

[Zorro]

Tampa and Minnesota

[4T2]

I like the Minnesota pick Zorro, that could pay off.

I’ll have to go Carolina here even with the chance of them getting upset by one of Tampa/Boston

[Invictus]

Guy Lafleur won 5 Stanley Cups (all with MTL) during his NHL career.

My next selection also has 5 Stanley Cups under their belt:
Edmonton Oilers

[pmorrow]

Pittsburgh
Toronto

[Invictus]

Guy! Guy! Guy!

Number 10. That number long retired by the Habs. Also the amount of goals the Habs got last night vs my first pick who I choose to win it all.
16 wins it takes to win the Stanley Cup - one for each season Lafleur played with a Canadian team.
But Lafleur also played one season with a non Canadian team. That was the New York Rangers.

So with my next pick I pick...
New York Rangers!

[4T2]

Kills me to not take my Bruins here but I can’t take them and the Canes. So I’ll go with the Blues here. I prefer the Wild to win that series but it definitely could go either way.

Funny, I now have two teams selected that I don’t want to actually win their series. But I guess if they do, now I have a reason to be happy about jt.

[Zorro]

Boston Bruins
LA Kings

[4T2]

Washington Capitals

[Invictus]

Sticking to number 10 and it's retirement. Lafleur's #10 banner was raised on Feb. 16, 1985.
This means no future Hab will ever wear that number.

My last team pick - also with no #10 currently on their active roster...

Dallas Stars!

[Invictus]

Starting this off strong!
0-3 and in the process of 0-4
