It's that magical time again. In a few days, the NHL playoffs begin and so will what will likely be many sleepless nights due to staying up late to watch the games. Before I continue, here are the matchups for the first round of the NHL playoffs with the numbers in parentheses indicating how many games each team will win in that series:EASTERN CONFERENCE
#1 Washington Capitals vs. #8 Montreal Canadiens (4-1)
#2 New Jersey Devils vs. #7 Philadelphia Flyers (4-2)
#3 Buffalo Sabres vs. #6 Boston Bruins (4-3)
#4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Ottawa Senators (4-0)
WESTERN CONFERENCE
#1 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Colorado Avalanche (4-0)
#2 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #7 Nashville Predators (4-3)
#3 Vancouver Canucks vs. #6 Los Angeles Kings (4-2)
#4 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings (2-4)
#1 Washington Capitals vs. #8 Montreal Canadiens (4-1)
#2 New Jersey Devils vs. #7 Philadelphia Flyers (4-2)
#3 Buffalo Sabres vs. #6 Boston Bruins (4-3)
#4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Ottawa Senators (4-0)
WESTERN CONFERENCE
#1 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Colorado Avalanche (4-0)
#2 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #7 Nashville Predators (4-3)
#3 Vancouver Canucks vs. #6 Los Angeles Kings (4-2)
#4 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings (2-4)
Predictions? I think Washington will be the Eastern Conference representative, beating the Penguins in seven and will face the Canucks, who will beat the Red Wings in six. The Canucks will take the Stanley Cup in six over the Capitals.
Yes, the eggs will be flying and some may even fry on the face, too. And some predictions will go wrong at some point, too.
