It's going to be interesting. Here's how I'd LIKE to see it. ;)

Washington
Pittsburgh (with Crosby, w/o him they're toast in the playoffs)
Montreal (but I'm such a big Tim Thomas fan! :( :D)
Flyers

Second Round

Washington (or Montreal, I want both of them in the conference final, really)
Pittsburgh

Final?

Washington (or Montreal) v. Chicago

Call me bold...but those are my picks. Oh...and by the way...my Wild will be in the Stanley Cup Finals next year and will mop up Montreal in 4, just sayin'.

1 caps vs rangers 8
2 flyers vs buffalo 7
3 bruins vs habs 6
4 pens vs bolts 5


caps,flyers,bruins and bolts

I was thinking the same. Washington might get upset, happened before at the hands of the Rangers, but without Callahan they have there work cutout for them.

I think these will progress to the next round of the NHL playoffs this season:

Capitals, Flyers, Canadians and Bolts. Since I'm a Leafs fan, I hope the Canadians lose, though. Same with Boston, but they can't both lose, haha!
