Cheapest ticket to go see the Oilers-Flames series in EDM is $540, cheapest ticket to go to game 1 of Florida-TB is $50 lol.


Unbiasedly, the battle of Alberta is probably the best rivalry in hockey.

For sure, it’s just crazy how you can spend $50-$60 to see the panthers after the insane series they had last season

Round 2 Playoff Predictions

Canes vs Rangers
Canes in 5

Flames vs Oilers
Oilers in 7

Avalanche vs Blues
Avalanche in 6

Lightning vs Panthers
Lightning in 7


Round 2 Playoff Predictions

Canes in 5
Flames in 6
Lightning in 6
Blues in 7

Explanations for each

Shesterkin went from being amazing to human in that series. Penguins exposed him despite the loss.

Flames have defeated the best goalie of the playoffs and now are looking to show off more than just their strong defense

Tampa's experience and special teams will be the deciding factor and I got a feeling Vasilesky has woken up from his slumber. And Florida being 0/18 on the PP despite all those offensive weapons does not spell confidence

I feel a feeling were gonna witness a Binnington revenge tour

I wonder if that rivalry will reignite the fire under Florida a bit. While I admittedly didn't get to see all of their first round series against the Caps (only about 2 and half games), they didn't seem to be playing with same jam and ferocity that - in combination with their insanely high skill level - made me so high on them this year, especially heading into the post-season.

If this series is anything like last year's, those tickets could be the biggest bargain of the year.

You’re right, Florida did struggle with the trap game Capitals were playing - but in 5 games 5 and 6 I feel like they got back to their identity and most of the game they were exciting to watch.

Last years Florida-TBL series was great. Physical , lots of offense. I live about 30 min away from where the panthers play, might have to get tickets.

Do all teams limit the number of outsiders at their home games? I saw Carolina does it against NYR by verifying the state in the billing address to make sure the crowd is from Carolina

Oh man, you gotta. I don't even live in the same country and I'm sitting here like "hmm, round trip flight to Florida about $500, catch a game for 50 bucks, hotel for one night..."

Hopefully not - such a b*tch move. Slippery slope kinda garbage really.

Noticed it way back, in-game/live when jumbo-trons became the thing. Was all about the home team message - show only things on the "we" are great plot etc. etc.

So you're in the stands watchin' the hawkey, entertained, BUT if the opponent makes a great play (must see TV kinda stuff such as a hipcheck or big clean hit) - they show kiss cam and other fluff to the sheep.

In case anyone is wondering why the heck I have this profile pic, it is because I made a bet with my playoff predictions and lost.

So Devil picked out this one.


If anyone wants to know where Saskleaf lost his bet, it's from this forum: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/579847
And everyone has a chance to enter for Round 2, do it NOW!

Im laying out a big prediction

Vegas is gonna trade for Nylander in a way similar to Vrana for Mantha

Vegas after that bad season is gonna try and get another big toy and Willy is gonna be that guy

If they do it like Washington it would probably involve Marchessault that would be the asset. That's my guess

Basically Vegas would move Marchessault and maybe another asset for the younger Nylander

Unless that is they go get Webers LTIR money then more ways can be unlocked
