    Just curious. What percentage of PT winners did not win The Cup?
    It must be high.

    29% is a very good number actually. gotta be much higher than every other seed from 2-16. Go Rangers . Get that trophy.

    Since the 05 lockout, 4 of the 9 winners have gone down in the first round. That's odd.

    So, since 1985 ........... 71% did not go on to win the Cup.
    I'll take the 29% and go for it. Those are good odds.

    Such a trophy really would only matter to the players.

    A lot of hockey left but playing the Bruins in the 1st round doesn't get me that excited

    Agree they can beat either, I think I would rather play Caps even though Boston is old

    Close. I think the Caps may be better, but flip side is if you contain OV some and stay out of the box, the Caps have no shot to beat us.

    Caps is a better matchup if only because you don't have to deal with maniac lucic roaming around trying to maim someone

    What about that kid Wilson on the Caps? He is annoying as hell to play against. I would still prefer to play the caps though.

    Someone is going to get their wish :breakdance:and I cannot wait.

    Six (6) teams in the NHL all tied with most points in the league at 91 with at least one in every division. Still a very long way to go before anything is decided. Just try to stay/get healthy and worry about the matchups on April 12.
