Nashville matches up well with Detroit, and other "skill" oriented teams. I mean, both teams have ~100 points in one of the two toughest divisions in the league.
I'd say its a coin flip, for the most part.

The Pens might stand a chance though if they'd go back to playing their game and not try to play Philly's more physical game. 
Most of the goals the Flyers have scored were due to crappy defensive coverage because the Pens are more interested in laying a beat-down that the Flyers will win anyways!
Still, it's definately the most entertaining series this round!  It's honestly too bad that one of these teams will be gone in less than a week.

Bruins all the way.
I am also cheering for my English Premiership team, Slough Jets, they just reached the playoff finals today. Co-incidentally 2weeks ago Slough Jets played Milton Keynes Lightning, the same day as Winnipeg played Tampa. Same score except Slough Jets were the winners and Winnipeg Jets the losers. Bit of randomness done.

Though if Vancouver loses tonight I think it's pretty much over for them... At least Ottawa has tied their series up 1-1, and hopefully Alfie will be back soon!
Most of all I just want to see Boston get their  es handed to them. No class, especially the fans in their building when they're pulling crap like boo'ing an opposing player laying hurt on the ice.

The Blackhawks/Coyotes series is heating up, both games have been overtime wins, the first for the coyotes, the second for the Blackhawks.
It seems that the coyotes can not stop the Hawks from scoring in the last 2 minutes to tie the game.
Though that Major was a load of BS. Shaw's contact with the golatender was A: not in the crease. and B: incidental.
He didnt throw a shoulder or forearm, they incidentally had helmet to helmet contact.
Such a Horse call.

The Philly-penguins series has been insane!
Today's game got brutal.
I love how all three refs came to Crosby's defense and let Letang tool his opponent five feet away...
I think Philly might sweep them, which is too bad because I wanted to see a long series in which both teams beat each other senseless.

There were officals on the ice today?!
And it's pretty sad when a team's best player has to step up and become an agitator to try and inject some givadamnability into them. Mind you, the Pens are simply being morons playing Philly's game like that.

Well, he's been lucky as feth against the Pens in the first 3 games! As long as they keep those horse shoes jamed up his @$$, they have a decent chance.
Still can't believe Schenn didn't get even a minor for his blaitent charge + high hit in first period...

That Pens/Flyers game was the epitome of the old joke.. " I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out."
I bet Clarkie was jumping on his seat a during that game.
Next game is Wed.... The Pens need a better plan than playing Broad Street Hockey.
It IS possible for the Pens to come back from 0-3, It has happened like 3 times..... Last team to do it.... Philly, 2010 over Boston.

I just can't get over how the media especially are blaming all the shinanigans on the Pens. So it's apparently a 'clean hockey hit' for Schenn to charge 2/3rd's of the ice to jump into an opposing player and deck him in the face, but Crosby is the dirtiest player in the league?! 
I'm hoping the Pens can at least take the next game and at least make a bit of a series out of it all.

Schenn hit was dirty, no doubt about it.
That does nothing to change the fact that as time goes on Crosby reveals himself to be more and more of an instigating punk who knows and expects that every official on the ice (and his team's heavies) will jump to protect him as soon as someone attempts to call him on his bs...
Crosby had the entire NHL media machine and marketing arm making him out to be the all-american poster boy, but he isn't the innocent "kid" they want to portray him as.
IF he wants to tlk smack and hit people's gloves away and throw cheap shots, that is all well and good, but I don't want to hear any penguins/Crosby fans crying when he gets laid out with a career ending hit, because it IS coming, and his instigating is only helping speed things along...
