all i have to say is that the pens are in deep trouble facing the bolts. sucks when the flyers get the tie breakers but great season for pens w/ crosby,malkin.

honestly it cant get much better caps-rangers bs-habs pens-bolts sabs-flyers

lets go pens!

I'm looking forward to some great matchups! I'm looking forward to watching the Montreal/Boston series, as I'm sure many people are. Philly's run will likely depend on goaltending, and if it's anything like last night's game, it could be a short run this year.

I'm guessing the winners will be Caps, Flyers, Bruins, Lightning

All of these matchups are very interesting!

I am picking:
Rangers
Flyers
Canadians
Penguins

I am going for:

1 Caps vs Rangers 8
2 Flyers vs Buffalo 7
3 Bruins vs Habs 6
4 Penguins vs Bolts 5

I expect an 'upset' from Tampa Bay.

I like the Rangers chances against the Caps. 3-1 against them with 2 shutouts. No Callahan, but the return of Drury helps offset the loss.

My picks:
NYR in 6
BUF in 7
BOS in 5
TB in 5

Flyers shaky goaltending and their struggling powerplay could lead to their early exit. Boston - Montreal should be an exciting series. Comes down to goaltending, and Bostons defence. Tampa and Pittsburgh is another good series, but the Pens will only go as far as their offence can carry them. They can only hope to make it to the second round, and wait for Crosbys' return.

[JHEYKID]

Caps, Sabres(I'm Biased), Bruins, Penguins.

[Roaring70s]

Caps, Sabres, Habs, Bolts
