The NHL Playoff Thread

YES!!! its playoff time woo woooooooo.

heres my winners of the first round...

Boston vs Montreal
Price looks to have his confidence back and I think this will be the big upset in the first round and there is always an upset.
Montreal in 7

Washington vs New York
Ovechkin, Green, Backstrom, Semin.
Capitals in 5

New Jersey vs Carolina
This one has to go 7 coming down to Brodeur putting on a show
New Jersey in 7

Pittsburgh vs Phili
Pittsburgh in 5 no reason

San Jose vs Anaheim
so happy that San Jose got Anaheim, I think San Jose will take them out but they will be tired and maybe a little beat up after this series.
San Jose in 6

Detroit vs Columbus
this is my upset in the west. Columbus continues there cinderella story and take the series. Detroit I have seen choke a few times early in the play offs and usually against teams they should have beat.
Columbus in 6

Vancouver vs St. Louis
damnit st louis is the one team I didnt want to face first round in the play offs. for some reason they play there best games against the canucks and they have the new canucks killer Oshie. but still im a canucks fan and wont choose against my team.
Vancouver in 4

Chicago vs Calgary
This one really works out perfect. usually Calgary I would say sweeps this series but with only 15 healthy players and against a young fast chicago im saying Chicago takes this one.
Chicago in 6.

this will lead to a beautiful round 2 matchip for the canucks as they will prob play Chicago in the 2nd round. canucks in 4



CFH there is a play off pool going on through officepools with a few people i know in it and its open to everyone if your interested. it will have about 150 people in it and its $20 entry
just choose any 20 players and you get a point for a goal and assist.
just finished the regular season pool with 200 people in it and came in 3rd

After last years first round with Boston/Montreal, you can guarantee that the B's will take this one. So much hatred between these two teams as of recent, and i'm totally pumped for this series.

I still can't believe it.. Bruins.. #1 seed??

By far the best time to be a sports fan in New England, as far as this past decade goes.. Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and now all that's left is the Bruins.. Let's GOOOO!!

my girlfriend was sitting beside me watching me post that and she is a die hard Montreal fan and was staring me down so I had to pick them.
but if I was a Boston fan, Montreal would be one of the few teams I wouldn't want to play for the 1st round. its a pick em for me.

hahah, understood.. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Montreal is a bad team at all.. But i LOVE that they're playing them. It's a reverse from last year, with Boston being the #1 seed this year..

Washington is really the only team i fear Boston playing from the East.

As far as the West goes, Detroit/San Jose are ridiculous.

[Doot]

yea San Jose I think can make it a long way but Detroit I can see being taken out first round with some dodgy goal tending

[TheChosenOne]

my team didnt make it this year , ottawa

but soome good matchups

im thinking the devils or the flyers in the east if they can get some goletending

or the sharks or the blackhawks in the west.....

im routing for the flames in the west and the devils in the east not cause im a fan but i like brodure.
