This is the "Live Thread" for the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. I will try to keep it as up to date as possible but feel free to add anything either on the Playoffs in general or your favorite team in particular. Just remember to keep it civil.

Hoping the best for my team, the Detroit Red Wings. I also like the New York Rangers. There seem to be some very interesting matchups in the first round like Ottawa vs Montreal and Winnipeg versus Anaheim.
Welcome to the “Hockey Ping List”!
I’m also happy the Bruins are out - because my Penguins limped in . . .
And have to play the Rangers. Yikes!
Have tickets for Round 1 Game 2 Predators vs Blackhawks!
Son’s Predators jersey arrived via UPS Thursday afternoon.
We’re Ready for Some Playoff Hockey!
Alright, signing in. Thank you and thank you for doing this. I did my own monologue in one of the last hockey threads on the games of the last few days because that was much like the playoffs: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3261588/posts
Ottawa closed with a flurry, conceivably, they could take out Montreal.
Winnipeg looks like a dangerous team, Anaheim is of course, formidable, the 2nd best record and they have played well all year, Ducks in 6, maybe the Jets have a chance.
Blackhawks vs. the Predators, Predators are on a 6 game losing streak but the Blackhawks have lost their last 4. That doesn’t beckon well, seems Nashville really lost a step in the last month.
Flames Canucks, tossup.
Blues Wild, Blues are playing well. Should be a good series.
Grieving that my Beloved Bruins are out. The rest of the East should be happy they’re gone, but I figure the last time they spit the bit, losing a 3-0 series lead to Philly in 2010, they came back the following season and hoisted the Chalice. I will watch less this year but hoping OTT continues dominance of MTL and ends that early. Then I might watch. Rooting for Blues to take it all in spite of questionable goaltending which plagued them in years past.
Five (5) Canadian teams. Not bad.
I started following hockey when there were only six teams in the entire league (and no American players).
I’m with you. Been a ranger fan since the six team league.
Went through all of the 1940 stuff with the Islanders and hated them. One of my sons was an Isles fan & went Devils when they were hatched. That was not fun either. This playoff year will be fun. Glad to see the Penguins in the first round. Get them out early. I am actually happy to see the Isles back. Hoping for a Ranger-Islanders match up.
Go Blue Shirts!
Montreal should of had it last year, if it wasn’t for the blatant take down of Price, even then they almost won, but there was that re-adjustment period which got them.
This year, hopefully they’ll take it.
In the end though, I don’t care that much. I have far more pressing issues to contend with heh.
Please add me to your list.
