Rooting for the Canucks. Hopefully a Canadian team can bring home the Cup. I am also really excited for the Bruins/Habs series.

This is going to be one hell of a series. Going to be interesting to see the Hawks in the Playoffs battling the Canucks yet again.

Fuck Boston, btw.

 

[Steez]

Buffalo should get out of Round 1. It'll be tough, but were playing too good of hockey right now and with Leopold possibly returning, our defense will be a lot better than it was in our home finale against Philly. We played so shitty that night AND with a backup goalie for 2 periods and still came out on top.

LETS GO BUFFALO!

Eastern Conference
1. Washington vs. 8. NY Rangers - Should be an easy series for Washington with Callahan out and Gaborik struggling. Only way the Rangers will come out on top is if Lundqvist stands on his head the whole series, but I'm gonna go with Washington.
2. Philadelphia vs. 7. Buffalo- Philadelphia has been struggling since the all star break. Buffalo has great goaltending in Miller and steady offense. Philly has depth up fron and Pronger but their goaltending is an issue with Bobrosvky. I'm going with Buffalo on this one.
3. Boston vs. 6. Montreal - Boston should have no problem with this series. They are built for the playoffs while Montreal is small and fast. Only way Montreal could come out on top is if Price has better goaltending then Thomas and Boston gets into penalty trouble.
4. Pittsburgh vs. 5. Tampa Bay - I think Pittsburgh will come out on top. They have tons of playoff experience in their roster and Stamkos will struggle adjusting to the playoffs.

Western Conference
1. Vancouver vs 8. Chicago - Being as unbiased as possible i think Vancouver won't have much trouble winning this series. With Chicago a skeleton of last seasons team and Bolland's return unknown i think Vancouver will be too much for Chicago to handle this year.
2. San Jose vs 7. Los Angeles - This one is easy, no Kopitar. San Jose should be able to sweep this series.
3. Detroit vs 6. Phoenix - Phoenix doesnt stand much of a chance against the Wings. Their only hope is if Howard struggles, even then this would still be a very difficult series to win for Phoenix.
4. Anaheim vs 5. Nashville - This one is probably the hardest to pick. The teams are pretty much equal and have opposite playing styles. If Anaheim is going to win this their first line hasa to dominate and if Nashville's going to win Rinne and Weber have to be outstanding. The preds also need someone to tep up and score some goals. Im just going to guess Nashville shuts down Anaheims top line and wins this.

These refs are fucking awful... We only down 1-0 tho, so we are str8.
