It is upon us once again, the quest for Lord Stanley's Cup. For Canadians (especially in the areas around Montreal, Calgary and Ottawa), it means that the majority of all sporting news will be filled with the madness that is the NHL playoffs. I am quite aware that in the states, it may be around the 6th most watched sport, but I'm sure of you will be cheering on your favourite teams. My team (Tampa Bay), finished dead last, so at least I won't be as stressed in the next couple of months. Anywho, here are the first round match ups:

EAST
(1) Montreal Canadiens vs. (8) Boston Bruins
(2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (7) Ottawa Senators
(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) Philadelphia Flyers
(4) New Jersey Devils vs. (5) New York Rangers

WEST
(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (8) Nashville Predators
(2) San Jose Sharks vs. (7) Calgary Flames
(3) Minnesota Wild vs. (6) Colorado Avalanche
(4) Anaheim Ducks vs. (5) Dallas Stars

In the East I predict no upsets with Montreal, Pittsburgh, Washington and New Jersey winning their series. In the West I predict that Detroit, San Jose and Anaheim will win their series, and I have one upset prediction, with Colorado over Minnesota.

Anyone else gonna follow the NHL playoffs, and if so, who do you think will win the first round match ups?

Ask my cousin up in Michigan. I guarantee he'll be following it.

As for me, no.

Go Habs Go! Going up against our mortal enemies, the Boston Bruins. GRRAR!

Let's go, Jackets! *clap *clap *clapclapclap.
Oh, god. Postseason depresses me...

I'm rooting for Washington kinda (Go, Ovie!), San Jose (Jody Shelley plays for them now ) and whoever is playing against Detroit. Too bad it's Nashville, as I wish them the worst. I am still bitter about losing 15 of the past 16 to those extinct cat bastards.

WOOHOO!

Go Stars! Two dominating games = awesome.

Let's finish it up here at home, boys, and prepare for Detroit (or San Jose, or whoever).

Please, oh please destroy Colorado. That piss-stain Adam Foote doesn't deserve for his team to advance much farther.
