Who Ya Gonna Pull Against???

WalkerBabe · 04-06-2012, 03:26 PM

Me? Rangers over the Caps, Senators over the Bruins, Pens over Flyers, and I'm not sure about the Panthers/Devils yet. Teams I am MOST pulling against: Caps & Flyers, with Boston a close "next."

**Highway to Cap Hell** · 04-06-2012, 03:31 PM

Sabers.

Oh wait...

In all seriousness, I won't pull against teams. But I'll be rooting for Florida, Phoenix and Nashville. Probably the Penguins too.

Brock Anton · 04-06-2012, 03:42 PM

THIS IS TROLLING!!!!!

We've never allowed this before and we won't now.

DaveG · 04-06-2012, 03:44 PM

Pulling FOR Nashville, and maybe Phoenix.

Haven't decided who I don't want to see doing well at this point.

**Highway to Cap Hell** · 04-06-2012, 03:46 PM

Question, DaveG;

Why were the anti-bandwagoning Avatars banned?

Trolling and to prevent flame wars. Personally I thought they were hilarious as long as they were still in good taste, but it definitely violates a couple rules if/when it crosses the line.

I'm pulling for the Bruins in the east and the Preds in the west. Would also be amused to see the Panthers and Coyotes do well.

WalkerBabe · 04-06-2012, 04:23 PM

Seriously, I do pull AGAINST certain teams ... I don't want to see Ovechkin ever win a Cup so I pull against the Caps, and I pull for ANY team against the Flyers ...

ColeMPV · 04-06-2012, 04:23 PM

I don't like the Caps at all but it will be so hilarious to me if they beat the Rags in round 1. The rangers are up their in Toronto territory as far as overrating their players.

Gotta Catch Em Staal · 04-06-2012, 04:26 PM

If the standings finish as they are today I will cheer for:

Phoenix over Vancouver
San Jose over St. Louis
Los Angeles over Chicago
Nashville over Detroit

Washington over NY Rangers
Ottawa over Boston
New Jersey over Florida (yeah I know...)
Philadelphia over Pittsburgh

gocanes88 · 04-06-2012, 04:30 PM

We're not in it, so I don't really care. I'll watch because it's the playoffs, but... yeah. Not much to be excited about.

JustJoe2k5 · 04-06-2012, 04:55 PM

Is there still a chance Washington could grab the division title and Florida could be 8th? If so, that's what I'm rooting for.

NY Rangers over Florida
Ottawa over Boston
Washington over New Jersey
Pittsburgh over Philadelphia

I'll probably root for the Coyotes and the Predators in the western conference.

If Washington wins tomorrow and we beat Florida, Washington takes the division. If Washington loses tomorrow, it doesn't matter what happens in our game.

Yep, we can still dictate who the first round matchups are. Only one that's set in stone is Pens vs Flyers. Ensuring that the Panthers are to play the Rangers would be epic, but with Boosh in net, getting Nodl back in the lineup for the first time in weeks, and getting Welsh in who doesn't know our system isn't leaving me overly optimistic. And still that's all predicated on the Caps actually winning their game, not a given.

I just want Staal to hit 70 at this point, and if it comes on a LaRose goal so that he hits 20 even better.

visor wearing goon · 04-06-2012, 05:46 PM

Ottawa and St. Louis are my teams from each conference. Wouldn't mind Nashville or Phoenix either.

Chicago Made Punk · 04-06-2012, 07:17 PM

NYR over Washington
Ottawa over Boston
New Jersey over Florida
Pittsburgh over Philly

Thats what I'd like to see.

Carolinas Identity · 04-06-2012, 08:28 PM

For:

Nashville
Florida
St. Louis
Phoenix

Against:

Vancouver
Ottawa
Pittsburgh

Rest are meh.

NorthStar4Canes · 04-06-2012, 08:51 PM

I wanna see a Blues vs. Bruins or Flyers SCF with the Cup going to St. Louis.

They've been around almost 45 years, made it to the playoffs over and over on shoestring budgets and bouts of poor management, and their fanbase isn't a bunch of frustrated whiny ******* insisting to everyone how they "deserve" it like some others I know.
