OT: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Mehen]

My picks - although I'm not as confident as I have been in previous years - I haven't been following the teams as much this year.
Montreal over Boston, 5 games
Pittsburgh over Ottawa, 6 games
Ovechkin over Philly, 7 games
NYR over NJ, 6 games

Detroit over Nashville, 4 games
San Jose over Calgary, 6 games
Colorado over Minnesota, 7 games
Anaheim over Dallas, 6 games

[Haig]

Sens didn't look too motivated tonite. Hopefully they can get tougher on Friday.

[Mehen]

Well my predictions seem to be right on track, with the exception of Anaheim/Dallas (2-0 Dallas now). I still think Anaheim has a chance to win it, they definitely have the skill. 6 games is very unlikely though. It will be interesting to see what happens now that the top seeds will play a couple Away games.

[Mehen]

Well, I can go 7/8 at best now. Here's how its lookin:

MON vs BOS
Canadiens lead series 2-1
DET vs NSH
Red Wings lead series 2-1
PIT vs OTT
Penguins lead series 3-0
SJ vs CGY
Flames lead series 2-1
WSH vs PHI
Series tied 1-1
MIN vs COL
Series tied 1-1
NJ vs NYR
Rangers lead series 2-1
ANA vs DAL
Stars lead series 2-0

[Haig]

Kudo's for Nashville giving the wings a hard time.

[Kruzin]

Last night's Colorado v Minnesota game was brutal. Colorado started spanking them with 3 goals in the first period, and the Wild didn't like it, and the fights started. 80 mins in penalties, including several majors and 1 or 2 ejections.
Good stuff
(final: Col 5, Min 1)

[Mehen]

Ottawa has 20 minutes to get one goal, or they're out. So far they've got 5 in the series.

[Haig]

Ottawa out and the Preds are 1 period away from tying the series.

[RhinoZ]

Ouch on Montreal tonight. What happened?
Double Ouch from a belly flop of my SENS.
Go Habs, Go Calgary I want a rematch.

[Kruzin]

Avs take the Wild in game 5 3-2
Now lead the series 3-2
GO AVS

[Mehen]

Avs look strong, might even be a good pick to take the west.

[Haig]

Ouch on Montreal tonight. What happened?

I think they were way over confident and expected Boston to just give then the series.

[ZokesPro]

I think they were way over confident and expected Boston to just give then the series.

Hopefully the habs learned from that and will actually try and win the next game tomorrow.
