Wow did I ever whiff on the Detroit-Phoenix series. Did not expect the Yotes to roll over and die, and for Bryz to play so incredibly soft. On the flip side, Detroit certainly won this series- Datsyuk played brilliant, and they're only going to get better with some days off to heal up and get Zetterberg back. Canucks-Red Wings (should it happen) looks like it will be a great series.

Yotes vs Wings- Bloodbath, you could see the control of the puck by detroit took phoenix out of that series, game over.

Sharks vs Kings- Sharks can still take care of business in 5 and should after getting their lines rolling on offense.

Ducks vs Preds- Wow just as tough a series as i suspected but for different reasons. I figured it was gonna be 1 goal games and that has not materialized. Thinking the ducks can take this series in 7 still.

Canucks vs Chicago- Canucks are gonna closeout at home. Canucks look really strong on the puck and their goaltending has been solid less the last game.

Penguins vs Lightning- Before the series i liked the Lightning but it looks like Pitt is gonna take it Bylsma has been matching up pretty well.

Philly vs Buffalo- Tough series, Buffalo has really been impressive defensively they have bottled up Philly pretty well. Probably gonna go 7 i still think Philly will get past them but i am rather impressed with Buffalos resolve and Miller in net.

Montreal vs Boston- I really thought the Habs would lose in 5 honestly. They match up very well with Boston and Thomas has not been his normal self between the pipes. Montreal looks poised to take this series.

Washington vs NY- After that monumental collapse by NY this series is done. Caps take care of business and wait it out.

Andrew Ference. He's usually a pretty classy guy lol. Speaks to the Habs/Bruins rivalry I guess.

Okay that's who I thought it was. I couldn't tell if the number was actually 21 or something else.

What a ****ing win. I guess the B's do have some heart.

^What are you thinking of Vancouver right now? I had to go through this last year as a B's fan. Still don't think they'll lose though.

Chicago is a great team and a tested playoff team obviously..I could take the losses...but Im having a hard time swallowing back to back beating. And one on home ice none the less. Im not worried about losing the series...but we really need to get in gear, we proved that we can exploit Chicago by playing physical and having our second line shut down Kane, Toews, and Hossa. But on the contrary now, we're being out bodied big time and thats what needs to change to take this series back.
