Blackhawks in five Ducks in six Canucks in six Kings in seven
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
Pittsburgh in 5 Montreal in 6 Capitals in 6 Boston in 5
Hawks in 5 Red Wings in 7 Canucks in 6 Kings in 5
I've moved away from being a Canucks fan since the Jets are back, but it's always fun to watch the goal-tending fall apart and recover game after game. I look forward to being entertained by that sideshow again this year!
I would write "needs more Rangers", but they totally got me by putting the "Now I can die in peace" sign at just the right moment to choke me up when Pete sings "don't cry".
I stand by my prediction of NYI in 7. That my OMGWTFLOL pick of the quarterfinals.
Well, it certainly looks better than it did a few hours ago.
It's weird for me, as a diehard Rangers fan/Islanders hater. Hate the thought of the Islanders winning this series, but love the thought of the Pens getting knocked out and potentially opening up an opportunity that the Rangers might have a chance to take advantage of.
