I'd be all over it, but I can't handle the uncertainty of not knowing when the games will be. It looks about 99% certain that we'll play the Sharks though, meaning we won't have home-ice. (Vancouver will probably finish off Chicago tonight and I don't think the Kings can recover from their Game 3 bed-shitting the other night).

I get it was a big collapse but a 2-1 series lead is still a bit steep for 99%

doesn't mean you have a 99 percent chance of winning the series. While it's likely the Kings are going to lose, keep in mind that the Sharks also have a history of playoff failures. The Kings still have at least a 25-30 percent shot of coming through. If this is the case, we would be home against either Nashville or Anaheim.
Out of the 6 other reamaining teams, Vancouver and LA are literally the only ones we have a 0 percent chance to play.
I understand that the Sharks have a history of underachieving in the playoffs. This Kings team hasn't exactly proven itself either though -- in fact they had a 2-1 series lead in the first round last year (can't remember who they played) and ended up losing the next 3.
I just don't see a young team like the Kings bouncing back from a collapse like that, at least not against a team as talented as the Sharks. Maybe 99% is too strong though ... I'll downgrade it to 97.34%.
Kopitar was out, I would be thinking something totally different

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin. Not that anybody's reading this anyway.
Chicago, by contrast, is up 5-0 on Vancouver. Maybe we were debating the wrong series...

Go Wings!! I'm a Leafs fan, but I took a bunch of Wings players in my playoff pool. So far so good.

I got four in section 204A for nearly 100 apiece. It was slightly more than tickets in the same section for round 1 which came out to be about 70 apiece. I think the lower bowl was completely sold out prior to the presale even starting. I'm hoping for weekend games, but we'll see what turns out.

I'm hoping to make the flight from new orleans to Detroit, but I need the dates!

Thanks goblue7612. I might just have to scoop me up a pair. Although, I'm a college student living on a tight budget, so if I do I just might be living off of Raman noodles for the next 2 weeks, lol.
I know the person that posted this and he is actually a blackhawks fan. Don't thank him.
