Here's to hoping Detroit loses!

[God]

Montreal in 7!

[The Other Colbert]

I'll go:

Red Wings over Sharks

Pens over Habs

Philly over Boston

Hawks over Nucks

[DirtyMagic97]

I'm gonna go with:

Pens over Habs in 6...Halak may be playing well, but I feel the Pens just have too much scoring power.

Bruins over Flyers in 7... This series could go either way. Very Physical series guaranteed. Marc Savard will be back. Interesting to see how they ease him back in. Boston wins with Defense.

Sharks over Wings in 7...brutal series. Justin Abdelkader looks to start sh*t early. Sharks first line finally starts to play like the best line in the league.

Hawks over Canucks in 6. The youngn's prove to be too much for Luongo 'n Co. The Sedin twins keep the games close.

[The Other Colbert]

Wings are starting to make up for a terrible start.

[KillerKat]

Pulling for...

1. San Jose

2. Chicago

3. Philly

4. Montreal

[Mesmer]

My fuggin picks are late but here they are.

Red Wings over Sharks in 7 (pulling for Sharks)

Vancouver over Chicago in 6 (Kind of like Vancouver but its ok if Chicago wins)

Pittsburgh over Montreal in 5 (I don't believe in you, but go Habs)

Boston over Philly in 7 (Philly is more gay than Boston)

[DirtyMagic97]

Joe Pavelski has been a monster in the playoffs thus far.

[DirtyMagic97]

What a return for Savard. Game winner in his first game back.

[God]

fug yeah! fug pittsburgh!

[DirtyMagic97]

What a crazy game. Montreal gets flat out-played and still manages to win. Hockey is too crazy.

[Hawk]

easily one of the worst wins I've seen, but I'll take it!!!

Crosby whined all day! Loved it!

[Mesmer]

What a crazy game. Montreal gets flat out-played and still manages to win. Hockey is too crazy.

They were outplayed for a lot of the game but the difference is obviously..

1. Goaltending.

But.. right after that, Montreal may have played a ton in their own end but it doesn't meant that they didn't play well in their own end. They didn't allow much sustained pressure and blocked a poo load of shots.

My hat goes off to them.
