I'll do predictions tomorrow, but my Rangers are amazing this year.  I feel good but nervous as hell about it.

No belief in my Isles I see.  It's gonna be hard to beat the Caps, I admit, but it's far from impossible.
Hope they'll win at least one round, what would be their first playoff round win since '93, before I became a fan. 
Wouldn't mind them knocking out the Rangers in the second also, but that's too much to ask for really, the Isles' playoff record the last 20 years, and recent slump in form, and the season the Rangers have had (congrats on that Presidents' Trophy btw, Phil ), taken into account.

I will naturally go with the Red Wings, even though I am not hopeful (it's been a weird season). Yet Petr Mrazek could catch fire. That, and no team from Florida should even be allowed in the playoffs.

Thank the heavens Kane is back. He could have easily had his best year if not for that $(*!@$ injury. Here are my predictions:
Quarterfinals: Wild in 6 Hawks in 5 Ducks in 4 Flames in 7 Habs in 5 Wings in 6 Pens in 5 Isles in 6
Semi: Hawks in 4 Ducks in 6 Wings in 7 Pens in 4
Conference: Hawks in 7 Pens in 5
Final: Hawks in 6
Also, can we take some time to mention the greatness of the Flames for knocking the Kings out. Beyond joyous for me.

Thanks! 
I actually don't want to play the Isles in round two. That feels too risky for me taste, with the cross town rivalry and all that. But hopefully the Rangers make it to round two...

...and I predict Alexander the Great and his Caps will reach the final and conquer this year. Have a good time hockey fans!

Last night in double OT, I almost had a heart attack. Too much for my fragile body.

Ok, I'm a die hard Penguins fan from Pittsburgh and I don't see how the Pens can possibly go that far. As much as it pains me, I have the Rangers eliminating them in four. I'm going to say that I really hope that you're right, but I think that's a stretch for this team.

Boy, the Preds were on fire last night with some very nice goals. I think Crawford will watch the 3rd game from the bench, what a horrible start from him.

^ Should've watched game two from the bench as far as I was concerned... But he most definitely better not be out there in game 3!

Lets Go Pens!!!
With their late season slide, I don't think they will go very far....feeling doubtful they will get past the Rangers.

The Rangers are looking pretty darn lethargic.

^ The Rangers looked to be hot early in the 1rst, but then looked as you say. Pens seemed to have a little bit of desperation in their eye in the 2nd period. 3rd period just started, here we go! Need another beer....

I meant the 2nd period, yes. Too little too late for them this time.

Great work by Crosby & Co. last night. Keep it up! 
Have just seen Liverpool getting knocked out of the FA Cup  (which more or less puts an end to their season). I know the Isles can't get knocked out today, but seeing another of my sports teams lose would definitely ruin my Sunday, so here's hoping the Isles can pull off a win for the expectedly loud home crowd at the Coliseum.
Let's Go Islanders!
Yes! Yes! Yes!

The only good thing about the NYR game yesterday was I def heard 21st century Schizoid Man being played on the organ. This Habs/Sens game is nice and intense.
