All match ups are figured out except for the 8th seed in the West, that will hopefully go to the Stars.

Stars vs. Wild on right now. Win and we play Philthy. GO STARS!

Wait, who do you play???

If we won, then we would have played the Philthadelphia Fliers.

Ah, check again. They are in the Eastern Conference.

IF the Stars won, they would have played Vancouver.

Oh shoot! You're right! LOL My bad. The Stars would have beaten either one of them anyways.

I don't think fans of division winning teams deserve to be as nervous as I am for the Caps.....much like our our beloved Cowboys, the Caps have a knack for building an intense amount of optimism....only to fail in epic fashion in the postseason.

The Rangers making the 8th seed didn't do anything to ease those feelings either....

Sick of ending the season rooting against the Penguins, rather than FOR the Caps.

Good luck to all of your teams....except against mine.

PREDICTION-

Sabres vs. Canucks

I think Sabres fans are like Eagles fans and it drives me nuts here in NY. I am the only Stars fan in New York. I am almost cornered by Sabres fans. It makes me want to move to Texas even more...

but anyways Canucks win the Cup.

Ryan Miller is a stud though, so I can't really hate on the Sabres.

Go Pens....I hope Sid is back for the playoffs.

Caps up 1-0.....better start than last year. Looked pretty good too. Not dominating, but very solid. Need to watch the giveaways in the neutral zone. Rangers are a good team, and won't let you get away with too many sloppy passes before they make you pay.

I like that the Caps are winning the close games....should prove to be valuable experience in these playoffs, as seeds 1-8 are pretty damn tight in the Eastern Conference.

 

[Joe Realist]

I believe my Flyers will go out in round one. They fell apart the last 20 games of the season.

 

[fffiasco]

Looking forward to the Kings game tomorrow but dont see us doing much damage against the sharks.

Losing Kopitar was brutal but maybe justin williams can spark something!

Huge Flyers fan here as well. Gotta agree with ya man. They looked abysmal the last stretch of the season, like they've lost all idea of how to play together. I can't wait until Carter and Richards finally grow up and stop acting like morons.

How can you like anything Philthy if you're a Cowboys fan?

Agree. I thought last night was the perfect game to play in Game 1. Tight, close game, the team didn't panic or get out of the system and won thanks in part to a dirty garbage goal in close.

Out hit and out shot blocked the Rangers. If the Caps keep hitting like this, the Rangers will be worn out by Game 3

I see you live in New York.. are you a Mavs, Rangers, and Stars fan too?

Actually yes I am. I am a future Texan living in New York.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

CapitalFan must have had a strange sense of deja vu last night as for the second straight year an 8 seed took them to OT in game one. This year they won.

For me the only series that counts is Canadiens-Bruins. I live in Vancouver so the faster the Canucks go out the better for me but they will probably last a couple of rounds and the people around will make my life miserable. They are having jersey day tomorrow and allegedly only Canuck jerseys can be worn.

I told our COO what will you do if I wear my Canadiens' one?

Ok bud.. you kinda missed the point there though.
