The Montreal Canadiens !!! :thumbsup
We got Saku Koivu coming back!
They will kick ass I'm sure!

Bruins

Red Wings over Maple Leafs in 6

I'm a die hard Leafs fan, but Detroit is just too good this year.. Hasek, Shanahan, Federov, Yzerman, Hull, Robitaille, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Chelios, Draper, the list just goes on and on..

MONTREAL CANADIANS

GO HABS! GO

Red Wings,

Toronto will lose in second - third round

As much as I love the Habs... I don't think they're going to get past the first round.

Toronto will probably meet Ottawa in the 1st round, which is a shame because both teams deserve to advance.

I'm thinking that the Flyers will choke big time this year, and I have a feeling Colorado will choke too. But ya never know...

Senators for the Lord Stanley Cup.......

You will see Evil Chris!! Canadiens will surprise many people!

woody... if you're right, I will be the first to walk in the parade down Ste Catherine street! :thumbsup

But I am thinking realisticly, you know?
:Graucho

Ok so if Canadiens win, you pay the beer! :1orglaugh

What if the Leafs win?:Buck:

I'll pay.....just call me and I will bring the booze :glugglug

none of that cheap depanneur wine, either woody.... LOL

wings aren't a clear cut favorite. kings, oilers and coyotes have been playin some great hockey lately. wings could go in the first round

Wings out in the 1st round.... oh man, that would make the rest of the playoffs KILLER.

Nuff said!

I pray for the Montreal Canadiens but god help there souls cus they still suck

WAY TO GO KOIVU :glugglug

I truthfully don't see Detroit losing. They are too stacked...

3 600 Goal Scorers (Yzerman, Hull, Robitaille)
4 500 Goal Scorers (above + Shannahan)

Arguabley the best goal tender in the NHL (Hasek)

The best coach to coach ANY professional sporting team (Bowman)

Whoever wins though its going to be an action packed, fun filled couple of months. I love the playoffs.

Go Wings!!!

Marc... if you can snag some VIPs for the Wings, I'll snag some VIPs for the Habs, and we'll :glugglug

Hopefully the leafs will win... I am in ottawa right now and I fucking hate the ottawa senators.... I hope the leafs knock there cocky asses out of the playoffs first round again :)

detroit

I just started watching hockey, but i say
GO MAPLE LEAFS!!
I just moved here so I have to get into the spirit of things!

:thumbsup

You go Tera! :thumbsup

I bet the Flyers lose to NJ in the first round. Why do you think Boston busted their ass for 1st in the East? Two words:
Martin Brodeur

The Devils think they are the Lakers, and that they can turn it on at will. But you have to fear a big, physical team that plays good defense in the playoffs.

wings are a bit banged up, and there are some great goalies out there. any of them are capable or shuttin the door in a playoff series.

so i wouldn't be runnin to the casino and placing my money on the wings

The Red Wings of course.

:BangBang:

I don't take anything away from the Wings. They are an awesome team full of incredible vets.
However, they are getting old. Even Hasek has his weak spots.

Look at Corey Schwab and how well he has been doing for the Leafs as of late. They didn't need BarASSo. In fact, they should have picked up Kevin Weekes when they had the chance.

Leafs to the semi finals at least!!!

screw weekes, they shoulda grabbed trevor kidd. i think he's a much better goalie than his numbers suggest. even though he's been a complete bust in the nhl. when he was drafted he was suppose to be much better than brodeur.

Watch the numbers on Roberto Luongo go WAY UP in the next year or two.
We'll see if Florida can still afford him...

islanders were idiots for letting luongo go.

same thing with calgary when they let giguere go. both teams didn't really get much back imo.

If I new my way to San Jose..............the sharkies sre taking it all baby!!!!!!!!

Bet it all on the Winnipeg Jets!!! :winkwink:

I am a big Devils fan so I gotta say...

the Devils.

No one ever predicts the Devils yet they are a strong team in the playoffs. (That fucking game seven last year sucked ass). However, I do believe that they are on the backend of their peak (see game seven last year). Logically, I have to say that Detroit is going to take the Cup :feels-hot .

how 'bout that hit Stevens put on Lindros last year in the playoffs? Took him out like a mother fucker! I kindof felt bad for Lindros 'cause he had just came back from all the concussion shit and then...BLAM! Lindros kicks ass but I LOVE to see a tough defense (hence my liking for the Devils). There is nothing like a good crushing hit in hockey:Hollering

Go Devils!!

Glad to see another Devils fan! Few and far between. Yeah, I'd have to agree they are on the tail end of their run, lots of greybeards on that team. And they messed up in letting Mogilny go to Toronto. They needed his goals. And they could really use another Brendan Shanahan or Billy Guerin from their farm system. Scott Gomez does not thrill me.

I think the only guy who enjoyed Stevens hit on Lindros more than Devils fans was Bobby Clarke.

Leafs fans, bet you wish you had traded for Lindros. He'd have been a good fit for that team. Big and mean, plus he can score. You could have had him cheap. Hell, I can't even think of the guys they wanted for him. Couldn't believe they passed on the deal.

Cool!

Montreal beat Ottawa tonight to clinch a playoff spot!!!

Koivu got a 10 minute standing ovation.... :)

I was happy to see the Canadians make the play off and the Koivu saga was great.. What a welcome back..:thumbsup

That being said..
Go Leafs Go!!

Damn... Montreal looks like a whole new team now...
These playoffs are going to be interesting...
