I bet you $1 million that this scenario above will not happen for 2010-2011.

1 million eh? I'd be in debt for life if wrong... I don't see Ottawa making it in over the Rangers, really the only major difference between our two preds. Not just because Im a rangers fan.

I think he is referencing if the standings were the playoff seeding.

Thanks, good to see an active hockey thread.

 

[SLY]

Your right, I put the Flyers too high in that seeding. I didn't put much thought into that. Actually let me put some thought into the playoff seeding.
1. Pittsburgh Penguins ( they've upped d big time )
2. Washington Capitals
3. Boston Bruins
4. New Jersey Devils
5. Buffalo Sabres
6. New York Rangers
7. Philadelphia Flyers
8. Carolina Hurricanes

1 & 2 is a tossup could be reversed, and 5,6,7 are a tossup, but the rest I am confident in.

Although it is debateable as to which team is better, i think Washington gets the one seed based on their division.

Thanks Filo.

I don't like it.....believe you me Tox.....but you've taught me that a Flyers fan CAN actually be a friend

But you're still filthy.

HaHaHa!! Thanks for the laughs!

Washington is a beast as a whole, but after that let down last season, I really thought maybe that was their year, I think they'll take the passenger seat this year. Believe me I hated writing in Pens as number 1, but I think with their revamped D they may take the 1 seed. I see them choking in the playoffs again.

No worries man, I was just giving you shit for having two teams in the same division (Pens and Flyers) as the #2 and #3 seeds in the conference. ;-)~

Also, I'm a dick......welcome to the board man

lol Yeah....filthy good looking!! :p

 

[SLY]

A. Tox, while the Flyers are a decent team, that was pure momentum last season. They;ll definitely make the playoffs, but not 1-5.

B. Is that your actual pic filo?

 

[filosofy29]

lol Yeah....filthy good looking!! :p

I'd rep you if I could.....unfortunately I've already given you all 2 inches of my green guy.

Well thought out, and fair enough!

Welcome to the board, BTW!
