Smits Playoff Predictions Round 3

Conference Finals!!!!! ​

Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins

So familiar spot for @brandovedo and the boys returning once again to the conference finals. Last season they were underdogs against the Devils and Senators but pulled the sweep only to lose in the finals, this time they return as favorites. Florida has been a pleasant surprise especially after Stiff and his boy toy were banned for 2nd tagging.

Since we are now in the conference finals I'll try to do a little better breakdown as far my opinion of line matching.
First Lines :
@SamDelisle9 , @xRICKOSHAY , @Tom 0
Vs
@XxTerryTORxX , @CaLL Me NiT , @Jo VEDETTE

Advantage : Pittsburgh
Terry carries that line and Jo is a good utility guy on both ends but Nit tends to cherry pick and that'll kill his team when the Sammy cycle gets going.

Second Lines :
@DK Don Cherry , @DeeSa Ali , @ii Tactikzz
Vs
@Marner x l93l ,@sbdr91 ,@Bernie403

Advantage: Pittsburgh, this match up comes down to the centers and well Marner will have to take his defensive skill to another level to keep up with with Ali.

Third Lines :
@NickyLeaks , @Josh55777 , @Shockz
Vs
@Linux 8 , @DavPaq22 , @l Bernie x 87 l

Advantage: Florida , I know seems kinda crazy to take this line over Pitt but I don't see the King of terds on net (Nicky) getting a few past @JmOnEy2436.

Defense: I actually prefer the higher matchups for Florida with defense men like @Bomb2r and @Saucccey compared to @BALLZY15 and @Saucccey.
Advantage: Florida

Goalies: Advantage Florida. If @JmOnEy2436 could play all seven then this series goes a completely different way, I'm not saying @xFourn is bad at all but J is in another class than @stewy420 83 and @Zero Choice.

Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Wins in 7


San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets

Once again another familiar face in the Jets making another back to back appearance in the Western Finals before taking the Stanley Cup. What makes the Jets so strong is the ability to always bury the garbage and all 3 of their lines can beat most teams firsts. This series will come down to San Jose's ability to upset a higher line.

Match-ups!

First Lines:
@Hopkins 28 , @ScaryJoeyy , @Monstar Jay
Vs
@Chicharritto19 , @zPxcman ,@Chicharritto92

Advantage : Winnipeg, this line is undefeated in the playoffs and Scaryy joey has gone MIA.... actually if anyone has seen Joey please call the 1800 number on the bottom of LG.

Second Lines:
@Gilleh ,@Ksw ,@l1l Bones l3l
Vs
@Hxndry ,@kcut ,@PureRippin

Advantage: Winnipeg, ok yes Gilleh can single handedly take over a game but we are talking about a complete line here and the Jets just have the depth covered all around.

Third Lines:
@A Kooky Eel ,@Duggan ,@neglawt
Vs
@Danbernak ,@The Nack Show ,@l Gally I

Advantage: Nobody. This line splits their games 1:1. No real standouts here, Gally and Dan have had a great seasons but Nack has been a ghost in the playoffs.

Defense : Advantage, Hands down the Jets, literally everyone of them should be Norris finalists. @Boany , @Hiipppyyyy ,@Kbsmith37 , @FlowMaster Joe , @Green Salt and even the once troll himself @T1 Vaporize.

Goalie Advantage: It makes it so hard to pick a better goalie when you have an entire wall of top line defense men in front of you but just because @MNWebby is making another finals appearance let's go with Winnipeg.

Final Prediction: Jets win in 5
