Looking Through The Glass Ball - East

I was going to do this before the playoffs started, but I got lazy. So without further ado here are my NHL 2007/08 Playoff predictions for the Eastern Conference 1st Round:

Montreal vs Boston

Going to have to go with the Habs on this one, you can't really cheer for a team that's lost 8 straight times to the Habs during the regular season, and are already down 1-0 in the playoffs. On a side note, the Habs really need to stop retiring numbers, they're going to run out of numbers soon. All the good ones are already taken, and the players are resorting to using some ugly numbers (Halak 41, Grabovski 54, Bouillon 51, A Kostitsyn 46).

4-1 Canadiens. Timmy Thomas will steal one for the Bruins.

Pittsburgh vs Ottawa

I didn't watch the Pen's 82nd game, the one that they supposedly threw so that they drew the Sens in the playoffs, but even if they did do such a conniving thing they're still probably going to win. Malkin + Crosby + a hot M A Fleury - Alfie = buh bye Sens.

4-0 Penguins. Malkin will score multi points for three of the games.

Washington vs Philadelphia

Even before my precious Nucks got eliminated from playoff contention I jumped on the Capital's bandwagon. Sure Ovechkin cherry picks, doesn't play D, and looks like Jaws but you can't help but to love the guy. He scored 65 goals in today's era, and makes every single goal look like it was the game winner. I'm rooting for them to go all the way to the finals.

4-2 Capitals. Ovechkin nets 30 goals, and proceeds to break every pane of glass in the arena as a celebration.

New Jersey vs New York Rangers

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate the Rangers. They stole our cup, then they tainted our organization with Keenan and Messier, and slapped us in the face by having Kirk McLean play back-up there (Only picture I could find of this atrocity)...

Sorry had to spit there. Anyways, Rangers got lucky first game, and they're going to lose and lose big.

4-1 Devils. Canuck fans rejoice.
