DON'T JUST HOVER!! READ!
[Well - as we all know - it's that time. HOCKEY PLAYOFF TIME!! Woo-hoo! I have been on a hiatus thans to some personal problems - but that is now all gone and passed.
Now - I am going to dedicate this thread to hockey chat and predictions for the NHL Playoffs.
And the following are my predictions. I must remind you all that I went perfect (
) until the stanley cup finals last year...
Western Confrence:
Detroit vs Nashville - Don't underestimate Nashville. They have fought hard for thier spot - and all but 10 people have never been to the playoffs off the Nashville team. They will provide some trouble - but not too much. I don't see anyone putting up a leadership roll off that team.
***Detroit in 5***
Vancouver vs Calgary - Calgary?! How in the world they did get up to the 7th seed?! Vancouver shouldn't have too much problems.
***Vancouver in 4***
San Jose vs St. Louis - These two teams can duke it out when the time comes for it. I say they are pretty evenly matched here. I say that St. Louis has the edge thanks to them having something to prove to them selves and their fans.
***St. Louis in 6***
Dallas vs Colorado - Haha. This is just a joke. Dallas has been a huge let down this seasion and since Roy left Colorado they haven't really been a huge threat. What ever happened to Karya and the other transactions they got? The big deal they made about the pay cuts for a chance to win the Cup when they are not even producing?
***UPSET SPECIAL - Dallas in 6***
Eastern Confrence:
Toronto vs Ottawa - Toronto has had a pretty good year. Since Belfour left Dallas he has been pretty decent and steady. Ottawa has the offence to overcome belfour IF they can get it settled down.
***Ottawa in 6***
Tampa Bay vs New York Islanders - The Islanders are in the playoffs? That is just a shock in it's self. They still have a lot more rebuilding to do.
***Tampa Bay in 5***
Montreal vs. Boston - Montreal has been rebuilding pretty steadly. They are decent in all aspects of their game - but not sharp enough to over come Boston. Boston shouldn't have too much trouble with this round.
***Boston in 5***
New Jersey vs Philly - Well, the 2002-2003 stanley cup champs (New Jersey) shouldn't even break a sweat this round. Philly has nothing to contend with NJ.
***New Jersey in 4***
Well - thoes are my predictions. I know there are spelling errors and the such - but I don't really care
. Some of you may agree while others are going to be shocked at what I have had to say. Post what you think and lets have our selves a good time!
Happy Predicting!
