The first round is heating up for some matches, while others are already finished.
The Bruins spanked the Habs in four games, as did the Canucks in their contest against St. Louis. The Wings are also poised to sweep the Blue Jackets, which isn't at all surprising. And the Penguins will continue to make swift work of the Flyers.
The rest of the series are still up for grabs, but the one that draws my attention the most now is New York and Washington. I thought for sure the Caps would cream the Rangers, but they find themselves just one game away from elimination with three more to play. And I think New York will pull off the upset and make it to the second round. They're not my favorite team or anything, but I have a tendency to pull for the underdog.
Any other prognosticators out there who'd like to weigh in on the current state of the hockey playoffs?
