Flyers have seriously pissed me off basically these last two months, but hopefully an easy-ish series against Buffalo will allow us to get back on our feet. drone, no offense (and I don't suspect you'll take any), but I can't take the Caps seriously in the playoffs until they prove they can consistently deliver. Honestly the team I'm worried about most in the East is Tampa because of that

trap defense of theirs which has always given us headaches. However, they've fallen off as much as we have in the last part of the season, and I still can't stomach saying that I want Concussed-He-Shall-Who-Not-Be-Named's Team to do any sort of advancing. Thus, I'm rooting for the Lightning to win.

Biased fan's opinion, but I think the Flyers will make the Cup Finals unless this is the year the Caps stop underachieving. Whether they will take home the Cup will depend on who we're facing, injuries, etc.

Watched the Wings-Yotes game live, result as expected, Detroit matches up really well against Phoenix, Franzen has turned on playoff switch again.

Then I had the Pens-Bolts game recorded, was a pretty fun game to see, aside from the result, game was close, I'd say the Bolts played better, but MAF played really well. Just scary how good the Penguins would be with Crosby and Malkin.

Saw a bit of the Caps-Rangers game, and drone you might be right, the Caps pulled this one out in good fashion, and it might look like Semin is up.

Ahhh, playoff hockey is such a timesink but it's worth it.

Well, I did say:

Their history of playoff collapses is long. Usually involving the Pens, but probably not this year.

Boston in 4, Hah! I wonder who else voted that the Canadiens will win the Cup.

Voted Habs to win, I'm clearly biased.

Well don't take my predictions with anything more than a grain of salt, especially the Eastern Conference, I haven't watched and followed hockey as much as usual this season.

By the way, it was Subotan who voted for the Habs; that guy probably never watched a hockey game in his life...

Great game between Tampa and Pittsburgh tonight, my favorite series by far so far.
