The Canes got a win the other night...played the Oilers though sooooo one of the very few teams we are expected to beat.

Playoff matchups if the standings stay the same

EAST
Montreal vs Boston
Tampa Bay vs Detroit
Islanders vs Washington
Rangers vs Pittsburgh

WEST
Anaheim vs Winnipeg
Vancouver vs Calgary
Nashville vs Minnesota
St. Louis vs Chicago

Best teams to upset the apple cart: Florida, Los Angles, and San Jose....other than that I believe everything will stay as is.

I think Nashville is a good team, but has a hard task ahead in The Wild, I think NYR have a really good team as do the Isles but they are paired up vs the top individuals in the NHL right now. St. Louis could make a run IF they can get past Chicago.

I'm picking my Stanley Cup matchup New York Rangers vs Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Ducks in 6
