Welcome Freedom Lovers, Canadians, Shitposters, Hockey Fans, and Drunkards!
2014-2015 NHL Playoff Bracket Challenge!![[image loading]](http://www.userlogos.org/files/logos/jumpordie/teamliquid-iphone.png)
This thread shall keep it organized and continue to assert hockey's dominance over the sports section. Regular old hockey chat shall continue on in the other thread.
I, former progamer and American national hero quantichawk, shall use my considerable clout to convince the mods to award the winner an icon of the Stanley Cup like the World Cup winner got. Failing that, I will hold the forums hostage with more shitty posts than anyone can imagine.
Hawk, what is the Stanley Cup
You goddamned, idiot! The Stanley Cup is the bestest trophy in the whole world. It is annually given out to the winner of the NHL playoffs, which features 16 teams playing four rounds of best of seven series. After as many as 28 games of slashing, spearing, elbowing, JAM, and GRIT, the winner gets to hoist this gigantic trophy, which weighs more than 35 lbs (Fun Fact: it's measured in 'Murican since the last time some loser Canadian franchise won, no one here had ball hairs).
The best part about the trophy is that each player and coach gets a day with the cup, and everyone does really, really dumb shit with it! Look how much these people love the trophy!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gArC2yS.jpg) Look how big it is! It's as big as a baby!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RKEu54Fl.jpg) This guy loved it so much he won it six times, and celebrated every win in a goddamned tittybar like a real champion
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tWxULjZl.jpg) This gal wanted to see what champion chlamydia tastes like!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/V4R3m0C.png) So did he!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LspxWMZ.jpg) It probably tastes like horse and strippers.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pZX3CDFl.jpg) Some idiots liked to see if the Cup would float. It sank, much like their chances of winning with Letang out!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HPtHt98.jpg) If you win, you might get laid!
Once the playoffs start, screen cap your picks and I'll throw them up in the OP. This will make it easier to see what a stupid idiot face you are when the Rangers steamroll everyone and you picked them to go out in the first round, you dummy.
Rules!Must create your bracket before 7pm Est Wednesday, 4/14!
You can't post here or join if you JimmyJRaynor because you are banned from hockey threads!
You must talk tons of shit!
This is a shitpostin' safe zone. Let 'er rip with stupid gifs!

FLABREZU
In one of my pools I called my team "Great Team" and won by 50 points. That is how you assert dominance.
|
my name is on my bracket, Tickle my skittle
|
I'm pretty sure I had ball hairs when the Canadians last won the cup.
|
I joined as "my team sucks"

Woot! Almost missed this thread! Thanks for posting the reminder in the other one! Montreal over Nashville to win the cup and win me some Internet Fame!
Ottawa still scares the shit out of me, but holy shit this is probably the most pumped I've been for first round in a while. So many Canadian teams!
From who I picked to win it should be pretty easy to guess my name....
|
no one can see picks until tonight unless you're posting here =]
I have a tentative one but I'm gonna wait until my first beer to finalize it.

screw you donkeys.
we shall see if my fondness for the Predators gets me into trouble... I think the east is pretty clear though. Even though Hawk is a stupid dumb shitty dumb stupid asshole, I have the Rangers down to win this year. Looks like we have the same predictions except mtl vs ott. Price > Hamburglar I believe. I admit I made this prediction with no idea how their season series went
For some reason I couldn't get it to put the Oilers logo on the stanley cup, is that a bug? I wrote an addendum in text just so it's clear
|
Welcome to the Darkside, you taint smelling longhair
to be honest, even though I picked the Isles, I think this is probably the best shot the Caps have had in a while. Johanssen actually kind of resembles a 2C, their D actually looks good, and Holtby is legit (even though he gave up a stinker already)
|
This is mine. I'm a Boston fan so I hope Montreal doesn't win! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZYzqwaT.jpg)
|
I need stupid ass Winnipeg to win a game
|
I am glad to say that the MN Wild are 2-1 over the Blues. I think they should be able to take them in the series. Beyond that, I'm afraid it is a hard sell to see the Wild winning the Stanley Cup. It is a sad story but the Wild is a perennial 'wild card' contender.
|
update time!
Winnipeg are the first mark ass bitches to bow out. Killer Gee-Tar is the only one to have correctly picked the winner and series length. He leads all with 13.
|
2nd to last in my own bracket boooo
|
|
|
i'm 2nd
but i'm not gonna be winning this
|
Meh I really needed the Caps to win it in 6, and for Vancouver to make the comeback in Game 7. Even then I'd be pretty far out of it I think, Not looking good now, especially if Detroit wins lol.
I'm "Free Drinks" in the bracket, in honour of my Leafs.

|
To update this, that jerk CorsairHero is in first with 79 points. Yours truly, America's Champion, currently sits in dead last with 43, a move that was entirely done on purpose to make it more dramatic when I come back.

I'm the only person who predicted Tampa to win, but after seeing that Detroit series, I'm not quite so confident in their chances against Montreal.
|

Tampa buttfucked Montreal every time they played this season
|
I think Detroit had the success they did because their style of play trends towards domination possession and limiting opportunities. Montreal is content to let hte other team dictate the flow of the game and climb on Carey's back. It leaves little room for error, esp against a fast skilled team like TB
|
|
|
an update:
This is basically a two man race between Flabrezu and I_Suck_at_acting. My Team Sucks technically still has a chance I think if Chicago wins and they nail the goals scored (i am not sure what the points are)
|
|
|
NY losing game 7 killed me
I still want Chicago to win just for Timonen to finally get a cup before he retires
|
i kind of want that, but i feel like stamkos really deserves one. as much as it blows that the rangers lost i really do like the lightning players
