NHL Playoffs

[slotdirt]

It's the Panger's favorite time of the year. How many times will Pierre McGuire fawn over something Penguins during the course of the playoffs? Can the Capitals ever win a playoff series? Will the Canucks figure out a way to get by their playoff nemesis, the Blackhawks? Is there enough geritol to go around for the ancient backliners in the Red Wings-Coyotes series?

I'm a fan, but I just can't see the Wings winning 15 more games with the injury issues they've had. My prediction is the Canucks escaping the red hot goaltending of Pekke Rinne in the West finals, while the undermanned Penguins will figure out a way to make it from the East. Canooges win in six to bring America's Hat their first Stanley Cup since 1993.
