The NHL Playoff Thread

[CFH]

Late in the season, the Canucks played the Blackhawks in what was a very important game. The Canucks desperately needed a victory and it looked very likely that these two teams would meet in the first round. The Canucks beat the Blackhawks 4-0 and a full on line-brawl (complete with hair-pulling) broke out between the Blackhawk's tough 4th line and the Canucks' top line (though the Sedin twins did little) after Luongo took a punch/shove to the face. Enjoy.

The round 2 match-ups in the East are now set:

Boston (1) - Carolina (6): Carolina has been on fire lately, but the Bruins are going to be too much for the 'Canes in my opinion. Cam Ward will continue his outstanding play, but it won't be enough to carry Carolina to the Conference finals. Boston in 6

Washington (2) - Penguins (5): Ovechkin - Crosby, the match-up the NHL execs dreamed about (though it's probably happening a round earlier than they hoped). The Pens are my pick to emerge from the East, I think they exploit the young, inexperienced Washington goaltending and win in 6. The Penguins just have too much skill, firepower, and experience.

Quick playoff update before I go out drinking with the missus:

Canucks leading the Blackhawks 2 games to 1 in their series.

Red Wings and Ducks are tied 1 - 1, they're playing game 3 as I type this.

The Capitals are leading the Penguins 2 to 0. Woohoo, go Ovie.

The Bruins and Hurricanes are tied 1 - 1 in their series.

F Ovechkin.

F The Caps.

Barrrr humbug.

Oh, and F you too for liking it. I hope the entire Canucks come down with a new evolved strain of Pig flu and die a slow, miserable death. Kinda sorta.

^^ Well that was a bit harsh. Maybe just a cold or sumthin.

God I'm so cranky lately.

I need to fix it somehow. Hopefully my next fight will clear that up. I mean, I am ofc kidding in 99% of my posts, but feel mean-spirited in the same breath...
