Just want to pour one out for what we lost by not facing the Kings again in the first round:

So sad
On to the Ducks though! Let's get revenge for 2017. Gotta expect the Ducks to have lots of periods of offensive pressure on us. Good young talent and Quenneville will give them their chances. They are weak defensively and in goal though, so we will get ours too. Get the better end of the defense/goaltending and we should be able to close this out in 5 or 6.

Pretty disrespectful. They can't get enough of that pillow fight line.

I don't remember any of this for the eastern teams when the flames missed the playoffs with 96 points last year 
Apparently the Oilers have no chance against the Central - just like the last two years.

Dickenson practicing today.. positive news.. however, lines had Henrique in and Samanski out.. bad choice imho .. Samanski, Dach, Fred were a solid high pressure line.. Henrique is too slow..
