The Checkout Line

Eastern Conference

   Montreal / Boston - Just like their play during regular season, The Habs are dominating. If this series goes 5 games, I'd be    surprised.

   Pittsburgh / Ottawa - The Penguino's appeared to have tanked their final game against the Flyer's in order to get this matchup.          Usually this backfires, but the Senators still haven't heard the final thud in their endless fall. Five games     would surprise everyone.
   Wash / Philly - The FlyBoys have contained the The Great 8 extremely well through two games, limiting his time and space. The physicality of this series won't allow it to be short.   Unless Alexander the Great can find some room, Philly in               six.

   NY / NJ - Devils are coming up real small so far in this one. Rangers big offseason moves and the Devil's lack of one, appears to be paying big dividends for the BlueShirts. Rangers in Five.

Western Conference

   Detroit / Nashville - Superior teams should beat lesser opponents. Red Wings in five...tops.

   SJ / Calgary - An absolute war is what we have here. Doesn't get any better than this.   Seven games...Flames.

   Anaheim / Dallas - The Ducks defense has never looked worse, but they're not going to go this easy...Stars in six.

   Minn / Col - Next to Sharks and Flames, this also is turning into a classic. Long series...Brutal. Av's in seven.

That the Ducks defense(or should I say lack thereof) has surprized me. Also who would have thought the Flames would be up 2-1 at this point. Boston and New Jersey both got one back today. It just goes to show you that the Hockey playoffs are the best when it comes to professional sports and their post-seasons.

We've learned that just when you think a team is down and ripe for the picking, they rise up and play the game of their lives. Detroit, Dallas, New York and Montreal all failed to turn 2-0 series leads to 3-0, and both Minnesota and Calgary had a chance to go up 3-1 and couldn't do it. Never count a team out.

What I have learned....actually I already knew this. The NHL playoffs are the best in sports. Games 3 and 4 between the Sharks and Calgary were awesome. Three straight overtime games between the Wild and Avalanche. The Predators looked like they were on life support until 2 goals in 9 seconds. New rules changes because of Sean Avery. Canadians versus Bruins...enough said. All this in the first round.

I THINK YOU ARE DEAD ON WITH YOUR OUTCOMES TO EACH SERIES. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IS THAT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON ANY GIVIN NIGHT. THERE IS NO REAL LOCK EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE SENATORS ARE DONE.
