nhl playoffs: round 3

once again, my predictions have fell short. the bruins happen to lose to the cardiac canes, the pens did edge out the caps (sadly), no surprise the red wings won their series, and my blackhawks looked good beating out vancouver. hm, 3 out of 4, thought it was worse than that. anyhow, here's my analysis of the current round.

EAST FINALS
Carolina Hurricanes vs. Pittsburgh Penguins: if ya didn't already know, i don't like sidney crosby. he's a frign robot. but he is proving to me that he can score buckets. i don't like the Pens, and i like eric staal, but i think the canes will fall short here against a supposed 'talented' penguins team. i still think its a conspiracy...

WEST FINALS
Detroit Red Wings vs. Chicago Blackhawks: damn straight i got the blackhawks back on this one. if they do take this series, it'll happen behind their power play. they rank first in the playoffs in powerplay successes, and detroit have been struggling in killing em... so i got blackhawks! if detroit wins, it's another cup for them. neither pitt nor the canes can take detroit.

so in conclusion... go BLACKHAWKS!
