3 Boston Bruins... Bruins in 6
6 Montreal Canadiens

4 Pittsburgh Penguins
5 Tampa Bay Lightning... Lightning in 5

2nd round
1 Washington Capitals
7 Buffalo Sabres... Sabres in 7

3 Boston Bruins... Bruins in 5

8 Chicago Blackhawks... Blackhawks in 6

2 San Jose Sharks... Sharks in 4

I'll be rooting for my Red Wings, but I think that my prediction will be:

Vancouver vs Pittsburgh for the final.

Vancouver has such a complete team and is awesome at both their power plays and penalty kills. If they cannot get it done this year I don't know when they could. The Penguins still have a solid team and, despite the rankings, I believe they are the team to beat in the East.

I do like the fact that Detroit will be without Zetterberg if only because I think they will play with a real sense of purpose. Phoenix played them tough last year and I expect this series to be a close 6 games.

The weakest team, imo, is Washington. They just aren't built for the playoffs. I'd be surprised if they get past New York.

If Pittsburgh can get past Tampa Bay then I think they have a chance because Crosby and Cooke will be back. But right now, without Crosby or Cooke I just can not see them getting past Tampa Bay. Too many injuries and issues right now for them too be a threat.

Other then I agree about Washington. But I think they will be good enough to get past the Rangers. The Rangers haven't played great down the stretch and if it wasn't for the 'Canes chocking then they wouldn't even be in the playoffs right now.

I am debating on it, was going to do it but I have a wedding I am in early June. And since the Bruins are winning the Cup this year I do not want to look like grizzly adams for the pictures.

[KevoOnTheRadio]

I rock a playoff beard for the Habs every year. nice to see them win game one because the old lady won't let me grow anything unless its playoff time and I plan on rockin the stash for bit after the Habs take the cup home

Holy Jeebus, Luongo is a friggen brick wall. I know the Blackhawks hit the damn post on 5(!!!) of their shots, but Luoey is point. If the series goes to 6 games I'll be surprised. And he's a former Panther too....
