Let the playoffs begin…
Ok, so my Avs didn’t make the playoffs… let’s face it, they didn’t even get close enough to smell playoff hockey down the block. Last in the Conference and 3rd from last in the league. I’m glad they’ve fired the manager… I hope that new management will fix whatever the problem was.
Anyhoo… the playoffs start soon and it’s time for my annual picking of the teams I think will move on to the second round. Here goes:
San Jose v Anaheim — Sharks all the way. I actually think the Sharks might win the conference, if not the cup, to be honest.
Detroit v Columbus — I’d love to pick Columbus, but the smart hockey fan in me says Detroit is going to win it, unless they lay down like they did against the Ducks a few years ago…
Vancouver v St. Louis — I’m gonna go with St. Louis on this one. Why? I don’t really know. I like the Blues.
Chicago v Calgary — I gotta take Calgary here.
Boston v Montreal — Montreal. Why? Um, couldn’t tell ya. Just what pops into my head when I think of a matchup between them.
Washington v NY Rangers — Rangers. Though I’d love to see Theodore move to the 2nd round, my gut tells me Rangers.
New Jersey v Carolina — New Jersey. They’re a better team.
Pittsburgh v Philadelphia — Philly. They’re still ticked off over losing the conference last season, they’ve got something to prove.
