NHL Playoffs

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Boston Bruins - Montreal Canadiens

Oh my, this again.
the tables have turned now as the bruins are the favorites.
Montreal skates better and now has a tremendous power-play.
The Canadiens will win some games here.
Boston is superior and has the edge.
I don't believe that this is the opponent they'd pick if they had the choice.

Bruins in 7

Washington Capitols - NY Rangers

Lundqvist is amazing, but he'll have to stop a lot of shots here against this elite attack.

Capitols in 5

New Jersey Devils - Carolina Hurricanes

Yeah yeah, whatever.
Carolina this and that.... free ticket for this mediocre devils team.

Devils in 6

Pittsburgh Penguins -Philadelphia Flyers

There are not too many good teams in the east.
The Flyers could have advanced against another team, but not here.

Penguins in 6

WESTERN CONFERENCE

San Jose Sharks - Anaheim Ducks

Just like in the east, the top seed has a tough task.
Now I called the sharks at the start of the year, but they don't match up to well against the ducks who are in their last year of a cycle.

Close one in game 7

Detroit Red Wings - Columbus Blue Jackets

Get a grip red wings fans, you're team is not what it used to be.

Blue Jackets in 6

Vancouver Canucks - St. Louis Blues

This is the most lop-sided series in this first round.

Blues in 4

Chicago Blackhawks - Calgary Flames

I'm not quite sure if Chicago is there yet, but they will be dominating soon enough.
They should outlast this flames team who will have to get down and dirty to compete against this superior team.
