Hawks win again against the Blues 6-5, although they nearly threw away the lead again in the 3rd period by taking their foot off the gas at 6-2.

Bruins clinch playoffs spot and also set SH record by scoring 3 shorthanded goals a single penalty

Re: NHL Season 09/10 : Wed Apr 14, 2010 2:20 pm  

The playoffs start tonight

East

Washington v Montreal
Too much scoring on the Caps team for the Canadians to stop but it wont be easy for the Caps.
Washington to win in 6 games


New Jersey v Philadelphia
This could come down to the N/M where NJ easily has the edge.
NJ to win in 5


Buffalo v Boston
Boston have struggled to score this season and with Miller in net for the Sabres they wont start here
Buffalo to win in 5


Ottawa v Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh have too many big game players for the Sens to cope with.
Pitt to win in 4


West

San Jose v Colorado
This could be the year where the Sharks do something in the playoffs.
SJ to win in4


Chicago v Nashville
There are other teams I would rasther have played in the 1st round but at least we didn't get Detroit.
Chicago to win in 6


Vancouver v LA
This is my shock for the 1st round
LA to win in 6


Phoenix v Detroit
The Coyotes fairytail season comes crashing down quickly here.
Detroit to win in 4

Re: NHL Season 09/10 : Wed Apr 14, 2010 6:48 pm  

I see the East very much as you do.

The West:
Sharks in 5,a good big 'un will allways beat a good little 'un. Avs speed will not overcome their lack of size and experience.

Hawks v Preds should really be a Hawks win in 5 or 6 but the Hawks netminding is not the best and may prevent, IMO, the best team in the West reaching the finals.

Nucks v Kings, Nucks in 6. Against any of the other top seeds I would have fancied the Kings but the line match ups are very much in the Nucks favour.

Yotes v Rat Wings, Yotes in 4. Referees finally recognise that the USA Synchronised Diving team has no place on the ice. Jurgen Klingsman a suprise starter for the Rats.

East is pretty much how I see it going only exception is think The Sens will probably win one but Pens to take it in 5

As for the West

Sharks in 5

Hawks I would love in 4 or 5 but in all honesty it may well go to 6, Niemi & Huet have to be on form but advantage is that the way Hawks dominate puck possession they in theory should only need to make around 8 to 10 big saves, its just the daft ones they let in.

Think this could well go the distance however just think like the Sharks with The Av's that Canucks will wear down the Kings and beat them into submission. Canucks in 6

Coyotes for me in 5.

Re: NHL Season 09/10 : Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:31 am  

Hmmmmm some very interesting results in the first round of the play offs.

Wins for the Sens, Yotes, Flyers, Sabres and Canucks and 2 big results with the Av's beating the Sharks & The Habs beating the Caps.

Roll on tonight and the Hawks for a winning start.

There's been a few shocks already so i'm a bit nervous about tonights opening game.We need a solid start from Niemi or the next few days will be all about the netminding .

Re: NHL Season 09/10 : Sat Apr 17, 2010 6:16 pm  

Well Niemi did what i didn't want and let in a soft 1st goal last night as the Hawks lost 4-1 to Nashville.
