NHL Playoffs: The Quest for Repetition

Last year my friend Aaron and I had a little blog rivalry with our playoff predictions. It was a dead heat until I went 4-0 in round 2. Yes, I had the Canadiens to beat Pittsburgh. Like my fledgling adult hockey career, I only do well at playoff time.

Anyhow, there is a new challenger to the ranks for Aaron's International blogger rivalry we have going on. Now I have to beat off two people. Can it be done. Can I repeat. We shall see. Here goes.

EASTERN CONFERENCE
Washington Capitals vs. New York Rangers
Aaron says Capitals in 5.
Matt says Capitals in 6.
I'll agree with both of them and say the Capitals are going to win this one.

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Buffalo Sabres
Aaron says Sabres in 6.
Matt says Flyers in 6.
As much as I love the Sabres, I agree with Matt and say the Flyers are taking this series.

Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens
Aaron says Bruins.
Matt says Bruins in 7.
I'll complete the sweep and say Au Revoir to the Canadiens, even though P.K. Subban is my favourite player.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Aaron says Penguins in 5.
Matt is hoping to catch Lightning in a bottle in 6.
I got Aaron's back on this one. Penguins.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
Vancouver Canucks vs. Chicago Blackhawks
Aaron says Canucks in 6.
Matt is doing his best to come in last and say the Blackhawks in 7.
I think the Canucks are going to destroy them. 5 games max.

San Jose Sharks vs. Los Angeles Kings
Aaron goes against his boy Ryan Smyth and takes the Sharks in 5.
Matt is also going with the Sharks in 6.
I'll go with God's team and say the Kings.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Phoenix Coyotes
Aaron is going with the Wings in 6.
Matt is going with the wings in 5.
I'm going with the Coyotes.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Nashville Predators
Aaron is going with the Ducks in 5.
Matt is going with the Predators in 6.
I'm going to side with Matt on this one. Does Anaheim even have a goalie?

See you boys when you reach the top.
