Ladies and gentlemen, here is the 2017 NHL Bracket Challenge!

Here is your chance to compete against your fellow Freepers and pick the winners of this years' playoff series.

Just pick which team wins each series, and then from the team you picked, pick the next series and the next.

And then pick your team for the Stanley Cup Champions!

Good Luck!

[Alberta's Child]

If the Pens weren’t so banged up I would like their chances better.

[dartuser]

I love it ...

Go Caps

[dfwgator]

Weird not to have neither the Stars nor Red Wings to root for.

I’m rooting for the Habs.

[dfwgator]

Wouldn’t a Leafs-Habs Conference Finals be delicious?

[hsmomx3]

Yup—I am in agreement with you all the way!

[ConservaTeen]

Since my two teams* aren't playing in the post season, I want Nashville to win.

*Two teams that didn't qualify: Tampa Bay Lightning (my team) and Hartford Whalers (DeplorableAmerican's team).

Que 'Brass Bonanza'...

[Puppage]

What a great idea thanks. Much as I want Toronto to beat the Caps, I just can't see it. So for that and all the others -

East -Caps, Pens, Habs, Broons

West - Preds, Blues, Calgary, San Jose

Conference Finals
Pens vs Habs
Blues vs Calgary

Stanley Cup
Pens vs Blues

Stanley Cup Champs - Your Pittsburgh Penguins!

[daler]

"Go Wild! #2017 Stanley Cup champions!"

I'd love to agree with you, however-the Wild have an insurmountable obstacle to overcome when it comes to sports.

They're from Minnesota.

I’ve been a ranger fan for 45 years.....they’ve been sucking wind for a month. They’ll be lucky to survive the 1st round. I see them out in 5 or 6 games.

[hanamizu]

The Blues just have a knack for not winning the Stanley Cup. Lately they’ve had a knack of not staying in the playoffs very long.

[MomwithHope]

I’m a cubs fan too we never gave up.

[Osage Orange]

Caps, Pens, Rangers, Bruins

.............

BlackHawks, Wild, Ducks, Oilers

[Mase]

What fun is The Cup going to be this year without having the Lightning in the mix?

Guess I'll have to be a Caps fan for the playoffs. If the Cubs can break the curse, then this could be the year of the Cap. Whichever team wins the top bracket will go to the finals and beat Anaheim in 7.
