The playoffs are here. :) This is what I have been waiting for. Here are the matchups.
Red Wings vs Predetors
Shark vs Flames
Wild vs Avalanch
Ducks vs Stars
================================================== ============
Canadians vs Bruins
Penguins vs Senators
Capitals vs Flyers
Devils vs Rangers
There are a lot of divisional teams playing each other in the first round so I expect a lot of intensity. Especially given their familiarity with each other. As it stands right now my picks to make it to the finals are the Sharks and the Panguins. I want to pick the Wild, but the Sharks are just too strong right now. Especially since they are on a tear right now. They are very deep up front with big and skilled forwards with a solid D core and a goalie who is having a career year. They are my pick to win it all. But thses are the playoffs, anything can happen. Its time to sit back and enjoy some awsome hockey. :)
