It's the most wonderful time, of the year.

Some new blood this playoff season - most notably the Leafs and Oilers. Darkhorse in the West - the Oil could be dangerous and in the East the Jackets v. Pens will be a battle.

It feels like the Caps year....finally. Get your picks in - playoffs start Wednesday!

EAST

Toronto Maple Leafs (WC2) vs. Washington Capitals (1)
New York Rangers (WC1) vs. Montreal Canadiens (1)
Boston Bruins (3) vs. Ottawa Senators (2)
Columbus Blue Jackets (3) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (2)


WEST

Nashville Predators (WC2) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (1)
Calgary Flames (WC1) vs. Anaheim Ducks (1)
St.Louis Blues (3) vs. Minnesota Wild (2)
San Jose Sharks (3) vs. Edmonton Oilers (2)

Feels like the Caps' year, especially with Letang out for Pittsburgh, but the upstarts should keep things interesting.

Caps in 5, Jackets in 7, Habs in 6, Sens in 5

Preds in 7, Blues in 5, Ducks in 7, Sharks in 7


Best matchup: Sharks/Oilers
Most boring matchup: Sens/Bruins

EAST

Toronto Maple Leafs (WC2) vs. Washington Capitals (1). Caps in 5.
New York Rangers (WC1) vs. Montreal Canadiens (1) Habs in 6. Hopefully less.
Boston Bruins (3) vs. Ottawa Senators (2) Bruins in 7.
Columbus Blue Jackets (3) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pens in 7.


WEST

Nashville Predators (WC2) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (1). Blackhawks in 4.
Calgary Flames (WC1) vs. Anaheim Ducks (1). Ducks in 6.
St.Louis Blues (3) vs. Minnesota Wild (2). Wild in 7.
San Jose Sharks (3) vs. Edmonton Oilers (2). Oilers in 6.

Vegas wins draft lottery, only because the Oilers can't anymore.

EAST

Toronto Maple Leafs (WC2) vs. Washington Capitals (1) Caps in 6 Maple Leafs put up a fight and actually win 2 games. The future is bright
New York Rangers (WC1) vs. Montreal Canadiens (1) Habs in 7....Krieder ends up getting run endlessly by the Habs. Rick Nash goes wild.
Boston Bruins (3) vs. Ottawa Senators (2) Bruins in 7 B's blow their load in this one and then get swept by the Caps. Karlsson needs a new team.
Columbus Blue Jackets (3) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (2) Pens in 6 Sydney is better than all of you!


WEST

Nashville Predators (WC2) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (1) Preds in 7 Here's my upset.
Calgary Flames (WC1) vs. Anaheim Ducks (1) Ducks in 5 Flames will win 1 but the Ducks are too big, too strong and too experienced. Flames will have to play perfect games to win this one. $20 ticket wins $420 in Vegas. I got mine today!!!!!! The last time I did this was 2004
St.Louis Blues (3) vs. Minnesota Wild (2) Blues in 6. Will I watch 1 game of this one? Only if there is nothing else on.
San Jose Sharks (3) vs. Edmonton Oilers (2) Edmonton in 6. Oilers are going to the Conference final only to be beat by the Ducks.

I'm still thinking.....

Can't decide on the Sharts / Oil series. The Sharks are injured and tired but experienced and the Oil are healthy and ready to take on the world - but inexperienced.

Av - where art thou?

Besides the 1st round....this year is the year of the Caps....of they don't win it its a shame. I expect to see them there against the Ducks.

Thank Goodness Canada is well represented this year. Last year was against the hockey law!

Yeah it's great to see Canada well represented this year. I'm actually pulling for most of the Canadian teams this year as mostly underdogs.

Flames are in tough against the Ducks but wouldn't a battle of Alberta be sweet.....

I think it would be good for hockey if Washington finally won the thing, but I'm also rooting for Columbus and Nashville to go on long runs.

Went 5/8 and only got the Blues right game-wise.

Rangers in 6
Caps in 7 (c'mon you bums!)

Preds in 6
Ducks in 7

Most exciting series: Caps v. Pens
Most boring series: Rags v. Sens
