Dallas vs Anaheim - Ducks

My picks differ with just two, Montreal and LA in their series.

Just thankful the Stars are in. And, we are pretty healthy. Bring it.

Tom, are you feeling good about playing a St. Louis team that appears to be going down in flames, losing their last 6, scoring only 5 goals, allowing 22 in those 6..... Or worried about who they appeared to be 10 days ago?

I think the Blues will bring it regardless of who is in their line-up, E.J.. Their plan will most likely be "dump and hit" and wear down the 4 smaller D-men for the Hawks. If Kane and Toews are healthy, the Hawks will counter this with speed. I am not over-confident, but I think the Hawks take it in 6 or 7, talking from my head and not my heart.

Best record in the league and the Bruins get rewarded with the team that owns Rask, Detroit, I believe they won 3 out of 4 this year... :hn

They did. But, playoffs are a different animal. Reg season record doesn't mean much.

I heard Z is skating today. No word on a timetable for his return though. Can't wait till Friday night.

Kronwall better have his head on a swivel...Bruins will grind the Wings down with their physicality.

No question the Bruins are physical on a couple lines...but I am pretty sure Kronwall ain't worried about any of them. And I am not a Wings or Kronwall fan, I've just seen some hits.;)

I'm with Tom. I know overall the Bruins are more physical but your forwards best have their heads up when bringing the puck out of their own zone. All 10 of those videos were the same play.

That said, I'm hoping the young legs the Wings have in the lineup will help generate some speed to offset some of that physical play.

This will be like a boxing match...body blows... body blows..when the arms come down knock out:)

I'm sure the B's are well aware of Kronwell?

I'm sorry but The Bruins are not worried about playing any team in the NHL,It's the other way around.

You are what your record says you are, and that is the best team in the league.:D

Bruins in six:banger

Bruins have absolutely been the best team in the league, John, and I don't think the Wings will be able to best them in a series this year.

That being said, of the last 6 "best teams in the league", only one has won the Stanley Cup, so don't go clearing any space in the trophy case just yet. ;)

Penguins pull one out, BJs gave them all they could handle.

Ducks hang on....barely.

Habs outplay the Bolts all game, but need OT to steal home ice.

I LOVE playoff hockey.

Let's Go Hawks! :D

Can't believe that the Stars came back and made a game of it. I sacked out(let my better half take control of the bedroom television remote) at the first intermission, confident that it was going to be a blowout.

GO AVS!

Stars got punched in the mouth. Welcome to the playoffs.

I loved that they got back up. They lost, but that game had turned. They aren't going away.
