With a lot to talk about and how the last round went, let us get right into it.
The Caps vs Penguins was one of the best series in a long time. They played 6 great games and where the 7th ended up beingĀ a blow out. My first prediction of this game was pretty much dead on as was most in other games. I had the Canes to win in 7 games. I had Aneheim to win in 7. Unfortunately i was wrong about the team. Same as the Canucks and Blackhawks. The BlackHawks

Chicago...
surprised the hell out of me. I was not a fan of Kane and Towes, but after seeing them this year, I have become a fan of this team. Biased? I hope they beat Detroit,now on with the predictions.
Eastern Conference Finals:
4)Pittsburgh Penguins Vs 6)Carolina Hurricains: I kinda expected this as the Semi Finals. Pittsburgh has the offence in young Sid the Kid. But no one, and i mean NO ONE ever talk about Evgeni Malkin. I Honestly believe hes there top player. Even then Sid was injured last year, who picked up the slack but Malkin. Gonchar is back to add fire power to the power play which has kinda been lack luster as of late.Carolina is being considered the Cinderellla story, but really, haven’t i been predicting they would make it this far. Cam Ward IS the playoff goalie u want. Problem is, will Pittsburgh present a problem for Carolina and Cam Ward? Maybe, maybe not. It will be a series to watch… that is for sure.
Prediction:Pittsburgh to win 4-2
Western Conference Finals:
2)Detroit RedWings vs 4)Chicago Black Hawks:An original 6 playoff bash. This is the Winter Classic part 2. Where Detroit is the Patriots of the NHL. Chicago is an up and comming team with a lot of potential. 2 solid lines that equal Detroit, Has better goltending in Nikolai Khabibulin, but a little bit less on defence. Detroit is Detroit with Hossa,Datsyuk,Zetterberg, etc. Will they have the energey to fight a well rested Chicago team, or will they prevail like they seem to do time and time again.
Prediction: Detroit Red Wings in 7
Thats all for today fans, tune in next time as rumours are heating up in Winnipeg? Lecavlier will be on the move,Bowemester to Montreal or Calgary, and other wordly possibilites. Till then
