Playoffs

Its getting pretty close to crunch time here for a lot of NHL squads. If the Playoffs started together heres how things would look:

EAST

Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricans

New Jersey vs Montrel Canadians

Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers

Philidelphia Flyers vs Pittsburg Penguins

ok, so the east isn't leaving out many teams that normally make it into the playoffs.

Florida has lost the last four and seems so be going back to them usual selves..how convienent that they kept Bouwmeester at the trade dealine.

I believe that we will see a nice battle between Philly and Pitts, and with the way that Montreal has been playing lately (even under gainey) we may see the old Bruins and Canadiens rivalry back in full force.

Maybe the best series of all The Rangers..whoever they play, a pretty hot team right now who seems to do better with Avery in that line-up, good energy if Ovechkin and the boys went against them.

WEST

Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators

San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers

Calgary Flames vs Columbus Blue Jackets

Chicago Blackhawks vs Vancouver Canucks

Where are the Dallas Stars? One point behind Nashville and Edmonton, i believe they will be making it in pushing one of them out. Nashville can't put a mark on that Detroit squad if they make it in, but Dallas has the talent (with Morrow back) to challenge them. The same goes for the slumping sharks, if Dallas makes it up to 7 spot, those sharks seem to have the collars so tight that once again they will under-achieve.

Its starting to get exciting and points are all so close with all of this shootout bullshit..but thats for another day.
