So yes we had a short season, but best part of season starts now with playoffs starting soon. I like my Rangers I think we should make a better playoff run then the regular season was. Let's go Rangers.

Ranger's look really good. That series with the Caps might be one of the best. Who ever comes out alive has a good shot at going all the way. Not sold on the Pens but can't see the Islanders beating them. Don't know what to make of the Bruins, Habs or Leafs as they all seemed to falter a bit at the end. Believe it comes down to Chicago - LA in the west. Cup final will be real interesting as with 1995 no inter conference play to base a prediction off of.

My predictions for the East:
#1 Penguins vs #8 Islanders (Penguins in 5)
#2 Canadiens vs #7 Senators (Habs in 7)
#3 Caps vs #6 Rangers (Rangers in 6)
#4 Bruins vs #5 Leafs (Bruins in 6)

Rangers lost last night, hopefully they will win next game or I don't see us going to far.:thumbdown:

This is the only reason I'm glad the Devils are not in the playoffs. I get to watch objectively. It's one game Scotty, no pressing the panic botton yet. The only thing I would be upset about was the 3rd goal. Ranger's will be fine. LA is down 2-0 and you can't believe they are done yet. I'm hoping we get some OT's in the east (can't stay up for those west coast games).

What's the difference between Jesus Christ and Brad Marchand in the playoffs?

If you wait long enough, Jesus might actually show up

Damn, the Bruins played when it counted and set a new NHL playoff record to boot.

But I'm still uneasy with the mid game lackluster performance, that won't cut it down the stretch -- especially against the west coast who I think puts the east coast to shame this year. Luc seems to have a knack for late game intensity recently, but we need 60 minutes of that leadership.

On a separate note, Anson Carter made the jump to being a NHL Commenter on NBC Sports?! Good for him. He should bring the dreads back.

Offense came out last night and defense and goalie. Great job Rangers on to 2 round.

And you were ready to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge after the first game. Congrats Scotty. 2 original 6 match ups, a Cally series, and hopefully an Ottawa upset (not a fan of Cindy Crosby and the Pens). Looks like a good 2nd round.

PS I rooting for an original 6 final too.

I should put this in another NHL thread but don't feel like starting one. Patrick Roy will be coaching the Colorado Avalanche next year I think he could be a very good coach.

Hoping Boston' makes it to the Stanley cup and Rangers have fire former head coach Torts today. I think this was way over due.

Would love to see Mess get a shot at coaching the blueshirts. I hope they give Richards another season. He was way out of shape and just couldn't produce. The lockout really hurt the Rangers. Bruins all the way, baby! Rask and the Bruins defense really showed up tonight against the Pens. I hope they can keep it going.
