2011-2012 NHL playoff thread.

I am biased as a fan, but I really have a hard time thinking that anyone, except possibly the Pens, can beat the Rangers in a 7 game series this year. They are too tough night in and night out to lose 4 out of 7.
That said I am hoping for a final 4 of Chicago, Detroit, Rangers and Boston. I like the original 6 teams getting after it.

Obviously I'm a big Rangers fan and the whole key to them is whether they can score. It's been anemic all season (including the PP which has been awful), they need Lundqvist to play back to his mid-season form. If they can acomplish that they could go very far in the playoffs. That being said the Pens are probably the best team top to bottom in the East if not the entire league.

i thought the rangers tailed off a bit late; and you never know what torts is going to do/say. for obvious reasons, i hope you're really bad at prognosticating!

I agree, still think they are probably good enough to beat everyone but the Pens, I have never actually said, "Go Flyers" until last night.
