Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 1, Eastern Conference Predictions

I just got back from my first exam and now I'm posting about the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now that's dedication, the NHL should totally pay me for this! Anyway, playoffs start tomorrow and as of this weekend the stage has been set for the Western Conference, are you ready for it?

Washington v Montreal: Washington in 5

Please as if the Habs have any chance...

New Jersey v Philadelphia: New Jersey in 6

Philadelphia may have made it into the playoffs with 11:59 on the clock but this is a team that can grind out wins, HOWEVER New Jersey is a superior team, they're taking it!

Buffalo v Boston: Boston in 6

Boston were supposed to make it to the cup finals last year, it was their year, everything was going right for them...that is until Carolina came out of nowhere, making it to the conference finals...WHAT? Boston was so close last year, so close, it truly was heartbreaking when they were eliminated. Chara and the boys, they're out for blood, this time! Oh yeah and Buffalo will lose because Ryan Miller's haircut gives off bad chi!!!!

Ottawa v Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh in 6

My, my, my what do we have here? These two teams they have history. Remember? First round of the playoffs 2007, Pens versus the Sens, gripping, nail biting, edge of your seat...actually it was a clean sweep for the Sens, who made it all the way to the cup finals. Sidney Crosby was heartbroken, his wrist shot, his iron thighs, his hair gel just wasn't enough. It was heartbreak for the young Pittsburgh team. Fast forward a year, exact same senario EXCEPT the Pens beat the Sens in 5 games. Don't you remember the high drama that was the Ottawa season of 2007-2008??? Ray Emery and Brian McGrattan got into a fist fight at practice. Ray Emery went to rehab. Brian McGrattan went to rehab. Jason Spezza's hype wore off. Mike Fisher read the Bible. It was all very dramatic...that was such a good year for hockey. As usual I'm getting off point, which is: this series will be an interesting one!

PS Remember this glorious commercial? Well there's a sequel, unfortunately Max Talbot was the only one who came back for another appearance. Gonchar totally made it :(
