let the fun begin!!!

this is when the real season starts....throw out the standings. This all comes down to match ups and clutch performers/goal tending! As a habs fan, you can't be happy finishing 8th and having to play the number 1 seed, but here's to hoping that Ovi does his post season disappearing act once again. Personally, I prefer to play the Caps than the Pens

Death to Montreal and Washington! In all reality I would rather the Habs when. I very much dislike AO.

Im pulling for Washington in the east (reason: Scott Walker). But i wont be heartbroken if that doesn't work out

I was a Wings fan before the Hurricanes came to town, so I'm going to have to go with the Red Wings in the west.

[Mesmer]

I'm pulling for Habs/Sens/Sabres in that order in the East. I know that's basically heresy, but I'm an outsider and I don't care. I literally can't stand every other team. Washington will choke, so no worries. Pittsburgh though.. Crosby is fuggin money... so I'd be worried about them.

In the west I am basically ok with anybody but Detroit winning it. They are all easy to root for, imo. I dont' even really dislike Detroit, but it's just they've been to the SCF the past two years.

[PantherBob]

After going to both home games vs the sabres this year I have grown a strong hatred for that team and their fans. I hope like hell they get swept in the first round.

[DirtyMagic97]

I very much dislike the Red Wings because they win all the time, and my good friend is a Wings fan. I just decided to cheer for Chicago because Patrick Kane was tremendous in the Olypmics. And I have always liked teams with a lot of youth.

[Mesmer]

Chicago will need one of their goalies to get hot if they want to go the distance. Neither one of them is very good.

If San Jose can keep from choking as they've done in the past, they probably have the best team on paper. But, I bet they choke.

Niemi was hot in april. He only lost 1 game I think. As much scoring as Chicago is capable of, I think Niemi will be fine. If not, Huet has shown some good things in streaks.

My money says the Sharks choke. Get out of round 1 this year, but ultimately choke.

[Hawk]

if you talk goaltending...I think Vancouver has a great chance coming out of the west if Luongo repeats his Olympic performance and they also get a couple key defensman back, which they are supposed to get. Lots of fire power and the Sedins are playing crazy hockey lately.

[Mesmer]

Luongo has not looked amazing to me since he got whooped up on last year in the playoffs. I mean, even in the Olympics I thought he looked shakey.. even though he came through for you guys.

Vancouver is a team to watch out for, definitely. But, so is every other team in the West. My problem with them is that they really don't have anyone very good at the blue line. Maybe Salo, but that's about it.. and even he is.. meh.

[DudeNamedJeremy]

i think i will be pulling for the avs and the sabres because of ryan miller

[KillerKat]

Pulling for Washington, Nashville, and Phoenix in that order.

[The Other Colbert]

I wish the NHL would find a better channel in the US, the versus "analysts" are always clueless.

Especially the one that looks like a penguin:
