Yes, and if Sturm and Wideman end up winning the series for the Caps (against the Bruins), then I'd probably die laughing.

I won't lie though, I'd love for the Caps to get to the finals. I just do NOT want Pittsburgh or Philadelphia in the finals. And if one of those two DO get to the finals, I hope they get swept. In fact, I would love if the Caps were responsible for taking both teams out of the playoffs. That would be so sweet.

Just because the Caps have no success in the past, I'd like to see them make a run. The way they stormed to the top of the standings makes them a huge threat in the NHL (not just the eastern conference) to take Lord Stanley's Cup. And I agree, I'd rather not see the Flyers or Pens get there. The Pens have been there the last few years, they can take a break. And the Flyers are responsible for my B's meltdown last year, so I want them out, ASAP.

Well, it's playoffs time now, 3 games deep. I was utterly disappointed by the Bruins first 2 loses to the Habs. They did manage to beat down the Habs last night though, so their chance of taking down this series has raised significantly. The Habs got so many great breaks in those 2 games. I'm glad they weren't as lucky this time around. If the B's can even the series, I think they'll win it no problem.

I don't think any team really scares me with their skill and ability. The Caps seem like the biggest threat to me. The Canucks had this super record, but there really isn't anything about them that seems great. I don't think Luongo is all that great and they have no super offensive players. I haven't watched them much, but I guess they just manage to get those W's anyways. I think the team that carries the most momentum through the playoffs will win the Cup. Seed doesn't even matter this year, in my opinion.

Well my red wings are still in it and im hoping for the best for them .
I know lots of people don't wanna see the red wings win, but I think most people rather not see the Penguins win.

Well, we're nearing the end of round 2 of the playoffs and we already have one series finished. The mighty Lightning are on a roll, and they took down the Caps. I didn't see that coming at all. The Lightning do have a pretty solid offensive team though. My Bruins might be in line for a sweep of the Flyers as well. But as we saw last year, we're not going to feel like we made it to the Eastern Conference Finals until we actually get that 4th win. If so, I feel pretty confident that we can take down the Lightning, but we'll see what happens first.

Out west, the Sharks could end up sweeping the Red Wings. I'm good with this because, frankly, I'm tired of seeing the Red Wings go far. The Sharks are playing them pretty hard though, so I think they can grab this series. The Canucks and Predators are playing an awesome series. That game 2 double OT win by the Preds was an excellent game. And they're showing some poisse by not being intimidated by the number 1 seed, Canucks. That's the only series so far that hasn't been 1-sided, so I'm sure it's going to go into at least 6 games.
