Looking at how the Play-offs unfold at the moment my round 2 looks like this
East
Caps vs. Buffalo
Pens vs. Habs (although the series with the Bruins could go either way)
West
Canucks vs "who cares" Ducks/Preds
Wings vs Sharks
This is the easy stuff. But where to go from here?
Caps vs Buffalo should - I don't like to say it though - go to the Caps.
The Pens and Habs have a score to settle. Yet the Pens are having a pooooor PP so far and keep what they have been doing since they lost Malkin and Crosby. Playing team hockey - no super star lines but solid performances. So is it good enough to kick out the Habs, I do hope so.
The West
Canucks make it to the Western Conference final. For known reasons I hope it's not the Wings but yet can one ignore a first round sweep? San Jose might be a different opponent compared to the Yotes but in the end the Wings have the better Roster.
So keep on watching, cheering, swearing - Hockey is still the coolest Game!
