nhl playoffs: round 1

EAST:
boston bruins (1) vs. montreal canadiens (8): i got habs taking it in 7 games. obviously. cause they're coooooool.
washington capitals (2) vs. new york rangers (7): i like the caps, but theodore is horrible. new york will take this one.
new jersey devils (3) vs. carolina hurricanes (6): devils will take this one easy. jersey is frign solid on both ends of the rink.
pittsburgh penguins (4) vs. philadelphia flyers (5): i like the flyers and not much of a crosby fan, but pittsburgh got this cause the flyers' weak goalies.


in the east, once the habs knockoff the bruins (cause they will), the only other team that can take on the habs and the entire east is New Jersey. they're frign gooooood. so my heart is with the habs, but my money is on New Jersey reppin the east.

WEST:
san jose sharks (1) vs. anaheim ducks (8): i like the sharks, and i see them taking this but it'll take em 7 close-ass games.
detroit red wings (2) vs. columbus blue jackets (7): detroit got this but i like columbus. i think they're the only team that can outscore detroit.
vancouver canucks (3) vs. st. louis blues (6): canucks got this too. LUONGO. 'nuff said.
chicago blackhawks (4) vs. calgary flames (5): this is a hot series. i like iginla and kiprusoff, but i love the blackhawks. frign young guns of the league. blackhawks in 6.


in the west, the teams out there are more tricky. the possible upsets are more significant cause, unlike the east, the difference between the seeds are much more greater. the east, they're all evenly strength teams. all the high seeds are expected to go far. my heart is with the blackhawks, but my money is on.... not sure. either detroit or vancouver. if the canucks can score consistently, then i got em over detroit. we shall see...
