EAST 1) Washington Capitals 2) New Jersey Devils 3) Buffalo Sabres 4) Pittsburgh Penguins 5) Ottawa Senators 6) Boston Bruins 7) Philadelphia Flyers 8) Montréal Canadiens WEST 1) San Jose Sharks 2) Chicago Blackhawks 3) Vancouver Canucks 4) Phoenix Coyotes 5) Detroit Red Wings 6) Los Angeles Kings 7) Nashville Predators 8) Colorado Avalanche My prediction......Sharks Vs Capitals in Stanley Cup Sharks Win Stanley Cup
The Caps looked like they started to find their groove in the second game tonight, if so they will be very dangerous. The Pens are, of course, a solid pick to get back to the finals. The Wings had one of their worst regular seasons in a while this year, but with their experience are always a threat. The Hawks are still young, but picked up playoff experience last year and can be explosive, I could see them make a run. The Sharks had a great season, but can they actually have post-season success? I'd like to see the Wings and Pens go for a third straight year (with the Wings winning it!) but I don't know if that's really likely. I'll have a better feel after I watch a few more games for who's playing well. Whatever the outcome, I'm so happy it Stanley Cup playoff time again!
'Canes fan here.. I kinda sorta prefer not to think about the Playoffs.. But, I'm Pulling for: SJ or LA (West) and Caps in the East.
