Wish the preds would beat Van. I always lean thorwards the underdog.

The only slight I have against the Bolts is that they came into the NHL the same time the Sens did, and they have a Cup already... and are looking to make a serious run this year... bah!!!!!

Richards, St. Louis, Lecavalier plus a whole supporting cast when they won the cup, not to mention they still have 2/3 of those guys as well as Stamkos and Hedman leading the way for a couple of young players, and again a great supporting cast of Gagne, Downie, Malone...

It goes to show that a) 2 top 2 picks, and b) good trades and FA signings can be huge.

Bruins and Sharks will win tonight. I can see Tampa winning too. I picked all 3, but I didn't expect a sweep.

I suck at picking this year, but I'll oppose you and say Philly wins, Detroit wins tonight. Don't know if the Caps will win another game, but I'll give them next game.

Cheap plug?

Tbay leading 3-0?? really? They're quietly on a 6 game winning streak in the playoffs. And I'm getting hammered in the brackets (Philly in 7 and Caps in 5)

My predictions for tonight's games: Flyers, Caps, Wings.

OMG! Wait for it....

I agree! ! ! ! !

Lightning, Sharks, Bruins. Take it.

I'll go with the exact opposite of whatever Big Ev says.

Lightening, Wings, Flyers

Yeah I agree.. but the 'Bolts' had one thing in both playoff runs the Sens did not -- GOALTENDING. That's makes such a difference.

Me three.

Channel surfing madness tonight... 3 games on at the same time...

Pronger not on the ice for warm-up... Carter is though...

B's are off to a fast start... 2-0 early.

Two goals 33 seconds apart... in the first 2 minutes...

Man... no Pronger and shaky goaltending = Philly going down in flames.

We're could see a sweep tonight and two other series going 3-0. And we were laughing when Big Ev picked four sweeps in the brackets pool. Of course he *did* pick the Caps and Flyers to sweep in two of those. Phew.
