Game 7s betray me in a repeat of the 2011 first round. Le sigh.

Wales Conference Finals

(2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (6) Ottawa Senators

Playoff History: A decent, if mostly one-sided, recent rivalry. The Sens brushed aside the ascendant Penguins in the second year of the Crosby Era, and have seldom had a sniff since.

2007 CQF 2008 CQF 2010 CQF 2013 CSF
4-1 4-0 4-2 4-1

Season Series: Team Records: 1-1-1 (PIT), 2-1-0 (OTT); Goals: 10-10; Possession: 52.4% (PIT)

Gratuitous YouTube Embed: No one wants to see Marc Methot's fucked-up finger again, so instead let's see something nice and uncontroversial, like Methot plastering Matt Cooke. No one likes Matt Cooke.

Doogie Says: The better team sure didn't win last series, but now that it's done...third time's the charm in betting against Ottawa? Penguins in six.

Campbell Conference Finals

(3) Anaheim Ducks vs. (8) Nashville Predators

Playoff History: Up until Wednesday night, this was the Ducks' most recent of several hilarious Game 7 collapses after being up 3-2. Sadly, the tradition did not continue this year.

Season Series: Team Records: 2-1-0 (ANA), 1-1-1 (NSH); Goals: 9-9; Possession: 54.8% (ANA)

Gratuitous YouTube Embed: Let's watch Anaheim lose to the Preds again!

Doogie Says: Predators in six. Because Fuck Anaheim, That's Why.

  1. Also, the weird added noise from the far left side of the Ponda Center is really distracting. It's like NHL 94 skating sounds or some shit.

  3. Wild prediction: Pittsburgh scores not-one goals for the first time this series.
