Well, here we go again. It's Stanley Cup playoff time!

Last year we had Montreal as the only Canadian-based team that made it to the playoffs. Awesome to see 5 make it this year but the downside is 2 of them will get eliminated in the first round .

First round match-ups are:

NY Rangers vs Pittsburgh
Washington vs NY Islanders
Montreal vs Ottawa
Tampa Bay vs Detroit

Anaheim vs Winnipeg
Vancouver vs Calgary
St. Louis vs Minnesota
Nashville vs Chicago

Anyone want to post their predictions?

[Strutz]

Mine:

NY Rangers in 5
Washington in 6
Montreal in 7
Tampa Bay in 5
Winnipeg in 7
Vancouver in 6
St. Louis in 6
Chicago in 6

I would love to see Montreal go out in the first round.

My hope is with the Hamburgler and Stone. Hate the Habs.

Since the Bruins are out I would love to see a Winnipeg-Ottawa final, but I'm not holding my breath.

I hate to admit it but I can see the Habs winning it all this year.

Not sure you have much to worry about.

I have a 'feeling', but not "the feeling" I had in '93.

If, and it's a big if, Price plays like he can, then it's almost a lock. Their defence is solid and they have some decent scoring up front. Almost every team that wins rides a hot goalie all the way. Price "could" be that guy this year.

Almost makes my year seeing both the Bruins and the Leafs not making the playoffs.




Wonder where Penetrator is these days.

Vancouver in 6
Minnesota in 6

The Leafs are well known on all of the good golf courses around here.

Funny.

No, but I think Round 1 will be tougher than most think, and the Habs will be softened up
for Round 2.

Well really wanted to say the Flames will move on, but that doesn't have the same shock value.

Leafs fired everyone from coaches to GM today
