NHL Playoff Picks

Round 1 predictions please

Boston vs Habs  Boston in 5 Habs are no match

Rangers vs Caps  Caps in 6                 Lundqvist will steal a few

Canes vs Devils Canes in 6               Carolina way to hot, Devs to cold

Flyers vs. Pens Pens in 6                 Local enemies mean a tough series, No confidence in Philly's goal

Ducks vs Sharks Sharks in 6              Sharks are poised to take the next step to greatness

Jackets vs Wings Wings in 5               Jackets are a great story, but not this year

Blues vs Nucks         Nucks in 6              Blues have taken the next step, but Nucks will push past       

Flames vs Hawks Flames in 7              Hawks will take the Flames to limit

Boston in 6

Caps in 7 (Avery will steal one too)

Devils in 7 (I'll go a step further and say the Devils will come back from a 3-1 or 3-0 hole to take it)

Pens in 5 (Ugh)

Sharks in 5

Wings in 4 (Welcome to the postseason Columbus, did we mention that the volume goes to 11?)

Blues in 7 (Whatever crawls out of this series will die swiftly in the next round)

Flames in 5

Devils over Carolina in 6 (they got things righted the past 2 weeks and Mark Stahl still out for Carolina)

Caps over Rangers in 5 (no answer anywhere in Ranger D for Ovechkin or Greene)

Pens over Flyers in 6 (Malkin will show why he is the MVP this year)

Boston over Montreal in 4 (no team fell apart as dramatically as the Habs)

Sharks over Ducks in 6 (Anahiem knows how to win, but San Jose is so ready)

Detroit over Columbus in 4 (not much of a matchup really)

Canucks over the Blues in 5 (Luongo too much for St Louis)

Flames over Chicago in 7 (the kids Kane and Toewes will shine, but Iginla is awesome and Phanouf is a beast)
