Wow

Detroit scores with less than a minute left to keep Chicago at the 6 seed. Detroit-Nashville first round is set (I think...)

Everything is set with the exception of the when, which will be revealed smack dab in the middle of Easter. Thread will get a face lift when possible.

Very happy to avoid Nashville, but of all the teams in the Pacific, Phoenix is the worst matchup. But I certainly give the Hawks more than a puncher's chance against the Coyotes, whereas they should just hit the golf course is Nashville was on tap.

Good work weffpim.

I'm picking LA kings over the Canucks. Come on Kings!

It irks me that Boston has to face the caps, but I wouldn't say I'm scared to face Washington. They have some talent, but their goalie situation makes me think the bruins can take them out easily.

I lol'd, nice work man

The Pittsburgh-Philly series is going to be fantastic and there should be lots of opportunities for upsets everywhere. The Wings situation is about as bad as it gets though in seeing Nashville first round without the extra home game. I'm not feeling very confident at all

The 4-5 match ups for both conferences look great.

Strange seedings this year in the playoffs. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see the 5,6,7,8 seeds in the West win. Apart from Ottawa, the 5,6,7 seeds have a good shot at winning in the East too.

I love your optimism but I don't see that happening at all.

Pretty nervous for this first game tonight. This year screams first round exit to me but I guess i'll have a much better sense after Game 1

Anyone know why there's random ballboys making posts that make no sense or are just copies of other posts?

Crosby with the first goal in the playoffs. Atmosphere is amazing, playoff hockey is great.
