Oh cool it's Playoff Posting time again! I'll be mighty surprised if the Pens make it out of the second round this year. I would also be content with the Rangers or Ducks going far. Super looking forward to a reason to drink on weekdays, at any rate.

Go sports!

Here's my official: Go Blue Jackets! gently caress the Pens!

This but the opposite and maybe without the "gently caress" part because I don't actively dislike them!

Also I'm always surprised at how quiet it is on the ice in an NHL rink. It sounds like... hockey.

I am willing to bet that's noise cancellation magic. I'd be happy to be wrong, though.

caps have a 9.5% chance of winning game 7

teams with a 3 - 1 series lead have a 268 - 28 record in the playoffs

that means 90.5% of the time the team with the 3 - 1 series lead ends up winning the series

caps have a 9.5% chance of winning game 7

I'd honestly like to know a team's record in Game 7 after trailing 3-1 in a series. I'm assuming someone, somewhere keeps track of such an insane stat.

I like this guy.

Continue going The Pengwings, but I'm pretty okay with any of these teams winning.

I love it when a city's franchises support each other.

Yep. Gerrit Cole showed up at a Pens playoff game last year and had to be asked to calm down, it was awesome.

I am a playoff poster, as idgaf about hockey during football season. This is the Pittsburgh yinzer way

Amen. Baseball season until football, football season until we get eliminated in the WC round, hockey season, repeat.

dont be mean to me posted:

I trust fan bases will come up with better options and front offices totally won't (well, Nashville's might).

Well Wiz Khalifa just had to go and use racial epithets in Black and Yellow so that one's right out

(Doesn't stop hordes of fans from using it anyway)

I don't know about better.

Larger and louder? But like not as positives necessarily.

I'm pretty okay with the idea of a new team's fanbase being enthusiastic and loud and disruptive or whatever in a market that has been historically difficult to succeed in.
