Or the NHL is just calling it the playoffs and the postseason for poops and laughs. 

 

That what bothers me...."going on to the first round". That and the stats being counted as playoffs. If the next round is called "the first round"  shouldn't the round they just played be called "round zero"?

The word "qualifying" is the evil here.

It's the NHL, nothing they do is smart or makes any sense.

I could deal with Winnipeg getting top pick... but not the Laffs

FL would be ok with me.

Alright - the save by Jarry against a 1 on none w/ 16 min to play in the 3rd was clutch.

Is this the end of the Crosby Malkin era? 

1-0 Montreal!!!!

Byron with another great play 

[dudacek]

Great...

The Canadiens just handed Pittsburgh Lafreniere.

Sure looks like they need him. 
 

At least MTL ain’t getting him. 

[French Collection]

I’m not a Habs fan but I was hoping they would get Lafreniere. 24th overall, Quebec kid...

Really rooting for Arizona and Vancouver.  In the east, Columbus, I suppose.

That would be interesting for sure.  I'm not against anyone other than Boston, Toronto and Montreal ?

[Gabrielor]

Chicago Edmonton is a bag of fun.

[dudacek]

Is Strome even playing? I haven't been giving it my full attention, but I don't recall hearing his name.

Not getting a 2C vibe.

I disagree. I think there are way better pbp guys out there.

I'd be interested in hearing who they are.

Admittedly, I don't hear too many of the team local calls.

Strome is like a cheap hail mary 2C while we wait for 8/Cozens, imo. Like a mittelstadt++. I do hope Chicago isn't the team we're discussing with (there's only  3 possible teams I've liked, actually :))

That's a little early.

Pierre McGuire slobbering all over McDavids **** is a little much. Just a touch.

It was all Oilers all period....lol

2-0 Jackets now. Can't wait for the Leafs to win the lottery 

[SwampD]

The best part of this playoffs is not having to hear about how great the fans are and scene is in a new NHL city that’s has had a team for all of 17 minutes.

[Gabrielor]

If you learn anything from best play-in round: Elite defensive centers win. (and, of course, hot goalies. The first is easier to predict)

[Andrew Amerk]

So, the teams that finished 23rd and 24th just knocked off the Pens and the Oilers. 
 

Highlights the importance of just making the dance. 
 

Also, the Pens and Oilers now have a combined 1 in 4 chance of drafting whatshisname. 

[Eleven]

This system is a complete wonderment.  In no universe should the Habs, Coyotes, or Blackhawks be in the "playoffs."  It's a clown show.
