Bruins/Canes - Canes Penguins/Caps - Penguins Canucks/Blackhawks - Canucks Redwings/Ducks (GREAT series) - Redwings

Ottawa never choked. Three years ago they lost to an upstart Sabres team. Two years ago they got manhandled by a physical Ducks team. Last year they started losing talent and ended up a 7 seed. This year that slide continued. But San Jose? San Jose is at their peak right now and is still on the cusp of a first round elimination at the hands of an 8 seed. There was NO excuse for the Sharks to lose! Now I'm down 2 players (3 total now) in my hockey pool at work (still in 16th place out of 91 entries).

I preface this by saying that I HATE the Canes, even though I live in their home state. Having said that, you guys are underestimating them. They are one of the hardest working teams in the NHL. They are very aggressive and have more talent than you might think. When Cam Ward is on they can beat anyone. They're my upset special.

Everyone who has picked is smarter than me about Ice Hockey. I do see the Boston series ended in 5. Detroit winning in 4 to get rest for conf. Finals.

Carolina looked like trash last night, but they also looked like trash in Game 1 of the first round, so it wouldn't shock me to see them rebound in Game 2 and head home with home ice advantage. Boston is clearly the better team though. They're faster, tougher, and play with more precision. Usually Carolina plays with similar precision but last night they looked out of sorts...partially because they just got done with a 7-game series and partially because Boston made them look bad.
...but I'm sticking to my upset special.

Ducks in 3 OT. WOW. Might be a series since the series shifts to CAL.

I just hoping the Caps can hold home ice. Go to pitt up 2-0. They need rest to take on Carolina or Boston.
