Playoff matchups

[BlackMetalNinja]

Well this became real easy to figure out, Philly and New Jersey play each other in their last game of the season, whoever wins is who we play in the first round. I certainly never thought I'd be routing for Philly, but I don't want anything to do with NJ in the playoffs!

Wrong!
You can still play the Rangers in the 1st round.

If the Flyers win in OT or SO vs the Devils and the Rangers lose the last game, the Sabres play the Rangers.

[mchurchfie]

If the Flyers are smart they will lose. I'm sure they don't want anything to do with Buffalo.

[BlackMetalNinja]

They don't even play the Devils... I was apparantly not with it at 6am this morning. After I got to work I realized none of what I said was right. If New Jersey wins and the Rangers lose, New Jersey would take over the 3rd seed, and they don't play Philly either... I suck, I'm sorry!

[PUCKER]

:dizzy: As long as we dont get the Devils! :pray:

[BlackMetalNinja]

Exactly!

[hammerbillsfan]

The 3, 5 & 6 spots are all interchangable still between NYR, PHI & NJ.

:dizzy:

[BlackMetalNinja]

Yeah, I figured that out today and realized what a dumbass I was this morning... I would be fine with either the Rangers or Flyers, I just hate how we play against NJ... I think I'd rather see Ottawa then them at this point. They are really the only team in the East that scares me much.

[PUCKER]

Heres the order Id like to get these 3:

Flyers
Rangers
Devils

[Bill Brasky]

I don't give a **** what happens as long as we can avoid NJ at all costs. I want nothing to do with MB and that defense.
