I'm pumped and nervous!! I am excited for the games definitely, but I also have a gut feeling that players are going to catch the virus and it's not going to be a good scene..
Just an all purpose thread for general playoff banter.
Who's pumped? What series do you plan on watching?

Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I'm wondering if this will open the door for for a few more teams making the playoffs in the future via a trimmed back play in to generate extra revenue .It will also keep more teams in the thick of playoff berth keeping more fan bases engaged for longer time instead checking out in early march
7 vs 10 , 8 vs 9 seeds play best of 5 while rest of the playoff teams get a week off .
I am pumped!!
I will definitely be watching these series:
Winnipeg - Calgary
New York Rangers - Carolina
Edmonton - Chicago
series I likely won’t watch:
Nashville - Arizona
Islanders - Florida

The schedule still seems so up in the air. Looking only as far as the 6th, the times are all still TBD. I am not entirely sure why that is, although I have some theories (putting elimination games in prime time?). Has anyone heard or read why they haven't ironed out the game schedule beyond a certain point?

So much waiting. So much anticipation. We're almost there folks. With the covid seemingly contained and the guys headed into the bubbles today, I think they might actually pull this thing off!

Good to see the energy level high right out of the gate.

Definitely a solid first game. Doesn't quite have the "no inch given" feel of the playoffs, but the hockey is better than I was expecting.

Any thoughts on who Nashville starts in goal in game one?

Connor and Ovie but no Sid in that video. That’s...interesting.
I agree. Sidney has already been vocal about the subject when he released his own statement back in June. It's not like he's been silent.

Yea. I mean 2/3 faces of the NHL were. Anyways, not trying to derail, just thought it was interesting.

2 minutes in but Hawks look quicker than expected. Maybe they can skate with the Oil
