The best time of the year is here. Predictions you mofapes ?
Penguins vs Rangers - NYR in 6
Even if PIT is now allowed to recall a Dman and have 6 D in the line up for the first time in recent games, NY will prevail.
Senators vs Canadiens - MTL in 7
Ottawa is on a Roll and always plays good vs the Habs. But will they have enough Gas left in the tank after their 2 months marathon ?
Red Wings vs Lightning - TB in 5
No one seems to give Detroit a chance in this one. TB has the best Offence in the league and the Red Wings are still not sure which Goalie will start for them.
Islanders vs Capitals WSH in 6
Halak vs Ovechkin. Again. But this time Ovechkin will win because of the Barry Trotz.
Jets vs Ducks - WPG in 7
The upset of the first round. Even if Anaheim finished first in their divison, their goal diff. is only at +10. Bruce Boudreau once again, won't go pass the first round. Watch out for the playoff atmosphere at the MTS Centre.
Wild vs Blues - MIN in 6
Some would think this is the year for the Blues to go deep in the playoffs. The Wild will choose otherwise.
Flames vs Canucks - VAN in 7
This one could go either way. I picked VAN due to their playoff experience.
Blackhawks vs Predators - NSH in 6
I will go against most odds and pick Nashvillle even if they didnt ended the season as good as they hoped. Early exit for the hawks this year.
