Shack wrote: I'm not feeling too good about picking Philly in the finals after that game... I say the rivalry might halt the Pens from a blow-out of the series. But yeah... Pittsburgh had a pretty solid second half of the season. If it wasn't for a long stumble getting there, they might be higher up on the rankings. I mean, they placed 5th in the East after scoring at least a point in about 90% of their games since February. They could've easily been near the top if their first half of the season had been that good.
Edit: Once upon a time, my Dad (a big Habs fan) was so sure of the Habs winning the Cup in the late 90s (they had made it to the Conference Finals in one of those years) that he painted "Cup Winners" on a Montreal hat. Then they proceeded to lose every game left in that series and haven't been the same since.
So... I shouldn't be making cock-sure predictions about the Pens beating Philly.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Maybe the Sharks will get a head start on their collapse by going out in the first round.
Bruins and Habs both look good. Could be a long series.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
I find it pretty incredible that Washington lost both their first two games. They seemed like such a strong team going into the playoffs, and they're playing the Rangers who have struggled near the end. And to lose both the first two games at HOME is just so weird to me. I'm wondering how they could possibly win this series now...
Peace, Mike

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Washington's just shooting from everywhere. It's easy to get a lot of shots when you're not really trying to score goals.
Though Lundqvist has been superb.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
The Caps are fucked. They're the Penguins of two years ago.
I watched half of the second period of tonight's Red Wings/Blue Jackets game. It was like the Red Wings were playing against a Pee-Wee team.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Does Columbus really have 7 penalties in the 3rd period?

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Detroit's playing a team that's never been in the playoffs. It's not like they're really being challenged.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
Flyers needed that one.
I hope at least some of these series will be close. I have bad memories of last year, post-round one, when nearly every series was a blowout right from the start.

San Jose and Washington can't handle the playoffs.

 Re: NHL 2008-2009 Season - Playoffs!
The Caps were told the playoffs didn't start until this week.
The Habs were told the playoffs don't start until 2014.
