Yes, it's Playoff time, were the weather outside is nice but I'd still rather be stuck in front of a TV watching hockey (no, your the one with problems). Anyway, here is the first part of my predictions.
Philadelphia Flyers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
BLOOD BATH!!! What a way to kick off the playoffs with these two teams. This one is for the huMANGous big univers (ok, I couldn't resist). Let's just hope it goes the distance. Pittsburgh in 7.
Detroit Red Wings vs. Nashville Predators
I thought a few months ago that Nashville would make a deep playoff run, and I stand by that despite it not looking good with having Detroit as a first round opponent. Even though they are an older team, Detriot is still elite and will cause problems for Nashville. This one might come down to the wire. Nashville in 7.
Los Angeles Kings vs. Vancouver Canucks
It's a battle of no offense/all goaltending vs. all offense/no goaltending. While the Kings defensive system along with Jonathan Quick can help prolong the series in their favour, I have a hard time seeing Vancouver falling in the first round. Vancouver in 6.
New Jersey Devils vs. Florida Panthers
While this series doesn't start under Friday, I'm not putting this in three parts. Before the analysis, I have to ask: on a scale of 1 to pissed, how do you think Jay Boumeester feels? Florida finally makes the playoffs and he has yet to play a single post-season game in Calgary. New Jersey is definitely the favourite and the easy pick, but I'm going to go the opposite way and say the Florida pulls of an upset. Florida in 6.
