Notes:
East: Capitals are in, Islanders are out
West: Flames are in, Avalanche are out
Honorable mentions category is for teams that tied a playoff team in points but barely missed out due to the tiebreaker.
Tiebreakers are once again highlighted although there aren’t as many this time
They’re not in this picture but at 40 games, the Hawks and Jackets are tied for last place with 26 Points, 8 Wins, and 11 ROW but Chicago just barely edged out Columbus for 32nd by having one fewer shootout win. Who will win the Bedard sweepstakes?
Gimme Toronto & Tampa again!!
I dislike all the powerhouses in our division.
I want to see Tampa vs Toronto again just for the memes
Devils vs ~~Rangers~~ Rags round 1 doesn’t that sound fun 🤣
move over Anaheim, it’s time for the newest installment of ***the battle of the 5***
*Happy Nick Paul noises*
Devils/Rangers and Stars/Wild would be great series. And Leafs/Bolts was tremendous last year, I’m sure it would be just as good this year.
Bruins and Caps Round 1 again?
Lets.
Calgary v. Edmonton for western conference finals would be AMAZING. 🤤
They’ve been good all season, but after their game last night, I absolutely do not want to face Seattle in the playoffs.
sigh Hello Lightning friends
I’m content if they ended the season now and these are the matchups
I hate it here
Metro Superiority *everyone else chill out please y’all are too competitive*
Ah shit here we go again
I don’t I’ve seen Canucks here for a long ass time
My not so hot take : Toronto makes it past round 1 this year and has a deep run.
LA vs Seattle would be a blood bath
Keep me away from the Caps as a round 1 series. I think we’d win, but I also think we wouldn’t come out of that series without losing someone for the rest of the playoffs.
using different logos for Carolina fucked me up
Can the Leafs get someone new? this new system sucks
I really like how it looks as if Toronto are anally penetrating Washington.
As long as its not the Wild. They have our fuckin’ number.
Avs better wake up.
Poor Toronto
Careful with that Nashville info,they might make that their next banner
Feels like the same teams every year in the eastern conference
“Oh you’re the 3 best team in your conference? You get to face the 4th/5th best team”
Hopefully the East will beat themselves up before they play the Stars in the SCF.
Why the differnt canes logo
Canes and Stars in the cup
I like it. Please no Colorado 1st round matchup.
Leafs vs Lightning rematch could be fun.
We’re playing Tampa, I don’t have to look anymore
Where are the Canucks?
Havent been following but AVS arent in ?!?!
also gosh i find that cane logo so ugly
Playoffs without the Avs? Count me
in
I wouldn’t mind facing the Caps. Rounds 1 in 2020-21 was very fun
I hate this format so much, bring back 1-8 ffs
the playoff format is so bad it’s insane they’re still doing it
Hello darkness my old friend
Devils vs Rangers should be fun to watch
I want Devils/Rangers.
No
I *need* Devils/Rangers.
If Edmonton actually misses the playoffs then it’s well past time to have an intervention.
I hate this playoff format. It really punishes strong divisions and rewards those in bad ones
Division winners should be guaranteed a playoff spot / home ice in round one but everything else should seed 1-8 in conference
People are rightfully shitting on the oilers for underperforming while McDavid goes god mode, but at every 10 game check mark they’ve been in the playoffs.
I can’t imagine a WCF of Flames vs Oilers.
I can’t imagine the heart trauma this would cause…
Round one Golden Knights.
Round two Kings rematch.
Round three Flames or Wild.
I’m not sure I would survive.
One of these years, friends.
