Hello again everyone. It's that time of year once again. Playoffs. With playoffs, come predictions and previews of course.
So that leaves me with the task of informing all of you about my thoughts on the matchups and who I think will win.
Don't worry Pred fans, the season review stuff is still coming, but will take longer than just one day. That's a 3-part series or so that I'll work on over the next few weeks.
OK. Let's start with the EAST. As usual, I have my own format of doing this so I hope you enjoy it.
#1 Boston vs #8 Montreal
Boston won the season series 5-0-1
The classic battle in the Eastern Conference. Old school vs old school. This is also the 2nd year in a row these two will face off in the playoffs. Boston was dominant almost all year. The Habs had to let Guy Carbonneau go and put Bob Gainey back behind the bench as the head coach back on March 9th.
Offense
The Bruins are the best even strength team in the land. That bodes well for playoffs. Boston boasts 6 20+ goal scorers and one 30+ goal scorer.
Montreal had only 3 20+ goal scorers. Alex Kovalev leads their team with 65 points and defenseman Andrei Markov is 2nd on the team with 64 points.
I give the advantage to the depth of Boston's offense.
Defense
The Bruins rank 1st in the NHL is the goals against per game average with a 2.32. None of he Bruins D-men on the roster have a negative +/-. They are led by Dennis Wideman's +32
The Canadiens have just 2 D-men with a positive number in the +/- category. Josh Gorges with a +12 and Roman Hamerlik with a +4. Also, the Habs average 2.92 goals against per game which ranks them 21st in the league.
Advantage Boston again.
Goaltending
Tim Thomas is having a stellar year in the pipes. Despite his unusual style of making saves, he has made plenty of them, boasting a mere 2.10 GAA and .933 Sv%.
Carey Price has had an up and down season to say the least. His GAA is up to 2.83 and his Sv% is a .905. Also, the young goalie has been under the hot Montreal glare for his actions off the ice. Although Price is the natural starter, should the series turn south quickly don't be surprised if Jaroslav Halak is then thrown into the pipes. Halak played 34 games this season and has a 2.86 GAA and .915 Sv%
The Bruins have the advantage in this category.
Special Teams
Power play = Boston is 4th with a 23.6% and Montreal is 13th with a 19.2%
Penalty kill = Montreal is 11th with an 82.4% and Boston is 12th with an 82.4%
Advantage to Boston.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Boston, my X-Factor is Marc Savard. He's a playmaker with over 60 assists, but he also has some finish to him. As he goes, so goes the Bruin offense.
For Montreal, my X-Factor is Carey Price. He has to play well for the Canadiens to have a chance in this series. If he gives up the softies, then this series ends quickly.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Boston went 11-7-1 from March till the regular seasons end. They beat 5 playoff teams during that time
Montreal went 7-8-4 from March till the end of the season. In that stretch, they only beat 1 playoff team.
Again, advantage to Boston.
My Prediction is: BOSTON IN 6. Because this is a great rivalry, the Habs will stick around longer than the stats and logic would say.

#2 Washington vs #7 New York Rangers
Washington won the season series 3-0-1
The Caps are one of the most fun teams to watch in the league. A.O. tends to do that. The Rangers floundered in and out of the playoff picture quite a bit this year. On Feb. 23rd they made a coaching change, firing Tom Renney and putting the fiery John Tortorella back in the NHL as a bench boss.
Offense
Well Alexander Ovechkin is his own offensive weapon. 110 points this year with 56 goals and 54 assists. Also, Washington has two 30+ goal scorers beyond A.O.'s 50+, one of which is defenseman Mike Green.
The Rangers don't really have one dominant offensive weapon. 5 of their players have 20+ goals. No one on the team has more than 60 points.
Also, it should be noted the Caps average 3.27 goals per game (3rd in the NHL) and the Rangers only averaged 2.44 (28th in the NHL)
Clear advantage to Washington.
Defense
Rangers only give up 2.58 goals per game (6th). Caps hold opponents just under 3 goals with a 2.93 average (19th).
The Caps have a more offensive defense while the Rangers don't get as involved from their blueline.
I'll call this one a push.
Goaltending
Washington has relied on Jose Theodore most of this season. His GAA is 2.87 and his Sv% is .900. Although it is unlikely they switch goalies, keep this name in mind: Simeon Varlamov. Towards the end of the season he got in a few games and has a 2.37 GAA and .918 Sv%
New York has King Henrik to rely on. Lundqvist finished the season playing in 70 games, had a 2.43 GAA and .916 Sv%.
Advantage goes to New York.
Special Teams
Power play = Washington was 2nd with a 25.2% and the Rangers were 29th with a 13.9%.
Penalty kill = New York was 1st with an 87.8% and the Caps were 17th with an 80.6%
What a battle it will be when the Caps go on the PP. Still, I give a slight advantage to Washington in this category.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Washington, it's hard to pick against A.O. so why should I?
For the Rangers, I think it's Nik Antropov. How will he react to the playoffs?
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Washington went 10-6-3 from March on. The Caps only beat a playoff team twice down the stretch and lost to 3 playoff teams.
The New York Rangers went 11-6-1 from March on, including winning their last 3 games. The Rangers won 7 games against playoff teams down the stretch. They lost 5 times to playoff teams.
This one is a push as neither team played with a real consistency.
My Prediction is: WASHINGTON IN 5. The Caps are just too potent and if they get just enough goaltending this series should be no problem.
*****
#3 New Jersey vs #6 Carolina
Carolina won the season series 3-1
New Jersey has found the offense they always wanted, and now that Brodeur is back they may have all the pieces in place for a deep run. Carolina has been one of the toughest teams to beat since getting Erik Cole back at the trade deadline. Carolina also fired Peter Laviolette back on Dec. 3rd, bringing in Paul Maurice for a return to the NHL coaching ranks.
Offense
The Devils finally had a big year from their forwards. They boast a 40+, a 30+, and three 20+ goal scorers.
The Hurricanes haven't done so bad either. One 40+ and three 20+ goal scorers.
Looking at the goals for per game average, these teams are right next to each other. The Devils are 15th with a 2.90 average and the Canes are 16th with a 2.88 average.
Not much difference here so this one goes as a push in my book.
Defense
Both teams boast pretty solid D's in terms of their goals against per game averages. The Devils finished in 4th with a 2.52 and the Hurricanes finished 8th with a 2.70
Don't expect much O from the Devs defenseman. They are solid in 5 on 5 play though since 3 of their blueliners boast 20+ ratings.
The Canes have a couple of D-men with double digit goals so they have a mix of offensive and defensive blueliners.
I give the Devils a very slight edge in this category.
Goaltending
Martin Brodeur is obviously one of the top goaltenders of all time. This year he battled injury so his games played only reached 31. He did end the year with a 2.41 GAA and .916 Sv%
Cam Ward has looked like the one we saw back in 2006 these last few months. He finished the regular season with a 2.44 GAA and .916 Sv%.
Common knowledge says New Jersey, but I honestly call this one a push when I account for recent play of the two net minders.
Special Teams
Power play = New Jersey was 15th with an 18.9% and the Canes were 18th with an 18.7%
Penalty kill = Carolina was 19th with an 80.4% and the Devils were 20th with a 79.9%
This one is a push. No advantage either way in my mind.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For New Jersey, I'm going with Zach Parise. The all around best player for New Jersey.
For Carolina, I'm going to have to say Cam Ward. He is the player that I expect to push the Hurricanes as the playoffs progress.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
New Jersey went 11-8-1 from March on. They beat 5 playoff teams and lost to 7.
Carolina went 13-3-2. They beat 8 playoff teams and lost to 3.
I give Carolina the edge here for their 9 game win streak before they shut things down for the final 2 games of the year.
My Prediction is: CAROLINA IN 6. The hot team stays hot in my opinion in an epic showdown with the Devs. On a side note, the Canes defeated the Devils in a series each year they went to the Stanley Cup Finals.

#4 Pittsburgh vs #5 Philadelphia
Pittsburgh won the season series 4-2
The battle of Pennsylvania reunites in the playoffs again. Many expect this to be an amazing series and so do I. This is one of those series that has the possibility of proving why the 4-5 matchup can be so good. The Penguins needed some tweaking near the deadline and fired Michel Therrien on Feb. 15th, replacing him with relatively unknown Dan Bylsma.
Offense
I often wonder what it would be like to not have just one but two 100+ point players on your team. Penguin fans know all about it as Evgeni Malkin racked up 113 points while Sid the Kid put up 103 of his own. Oh, and the Penguins also have four other players with 20+ goals.
Philadelphia has quite the potent offense of their own though. One 40+ goal scorer, three with 30+, and two with 20+ for good measure.
Where do they sit in goals per game average? Why right next to each other of course. Philly is 5th in the league with a 3.17 average and the Pens are 6th with a 3.15 average.
It has to be a push since the Flyers have a little more offensive depth than Pittsburgh.
Defense
The Philly D does not really have a big offensive weapon and they are more of a pure defense.
The Pens D has Sergei Gonchar finally back, and he's played quite well in his 25 games. He would be their one big offensive threat from the blueline.
It would figure these two teams would be right next to each other in the goals against per game average also. Philadelphia was 16th with 2.83 and Pittsburgh was 17th with a 2.84 average.
Again, a push for these pretty even teams.
Goaltending
For Pittsburgh, their net remains in the hands of Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury was off and on this season, but turned it on when it counted most down the stretch. He finished the regular season with a 2.67 GAA and a .912 Sv%
In Philly, they split time between Martin Biron and Antero Niittymaki. Biron received the majority of the games though. These two goalies have eerily similar stats. Biron's GAA was 2.76, as was Niittymaki. Martin had a slight Sv% advantage with a .915 compared to Antero's .912. That said, expect Biron early, but should he play soft, I doubt the Flyers would have any qualms with putting Niittymaki out there.
I give the advantage to Fleury who proved last year he knows how to play big in the playoffs.
Special Teams
Power play = Philly had the 6th ranked unit with a 22.5% and the Pens had the 20th ranked man advantage with a 17.2%.
Penalty kill = Philly was 6th with an 83% and Pittsburgh was 8th with an 82.7%.
Advantage goes to the Flyers.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Philly, the X-Factor has to be Mike Richards. As their captain goes, so goes the team.
For the Pens, I would tab Fleury as the their X-Factor. He will get the goal support I think, so he just has to make the key stops.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Philadelphia went 11-10-1 from March on. They beat 4 playoff teams and lost to 8 of them.
Pittsburgh went 14-2-3. They beat 6 playoff teams and lost to 3.
Advantage goes to the Pens who have so few regulation losses the last month.
My Prediction is: PITTSBURGH in 7. This will be a very close series so I tend to go with goaltending and defense in these situations. No one out there is 100% sure they know what will happen in this playoff war though.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
#1 San Jose vs #8 Anaheim
San Jose won the season series 4-2
The Battle of California. What a battle this is likely to be too. The fact that all the games will be in the Pacific time zone is a blessing for NHL fans since each and every night these teams play they will give hockey fans a great late night viewing party.
Offense
Early in the season the Sharks had no problems scoring. They cooled off a little and ended the season ranked 7th in the league with a 3.06 goals for per game average. The Ducks averaged 2.90 which places them 14th in the NHL.
San Jose two 30+ goal scorers and four 20+ goal scorers. They are of course led by Jumbo Joe. Although this is nothing new to hear to Sharks fans, it is odd to see Jonathan Cheechoo with a mere 12 goals and 11th in scoring on San Jose's team.
Anaheim has two 30+ goal scorers and two 20+ goal scorers. One of the keys for the Duck offense is what will Calder candidate Bobby Ryan bring to his first big playoff series.
Thanks to the depth, I give the Sharks the edge here.
Defense
The Sharks allowed an average of 2.43 goals against, which ranked 3rd in the NHL. The Ducks found themselves in the middle at 18th with a 2.87 average.
San Jose's blueline has two players with double digit goal scoring. Dan Boyle continues to excel. Looking at the point totals, this blueline appears to jump into the offensive mix at the right times.
Anaheim also has two D-men with double digit goals. It should also be noted that the word is Francois Beauchemin will return after playing only 20 games this year. Really, Anaheim's D has been such a mix of different players other than Niedermayer and Pronger. They are really hard to evaluate.
Because Anaheim is a bit unknown on the back end, I have to give it a push rather than the Duck advantage.
Goaltending
The Sharks have what I consider one of the top 10 goalies in the league with Evgeni Nabokov in net. Nabby finished the season with a 2.44 GAA and .910 Sv%.
The Ducks don't seem to have one go-to starter this season. J.S. Giguere has split time with Jonas Hiller all season. When I say split time, I mean it, since both goalies had exactly 46 games. Personally I would say the Ducks should go with Hiller as the starter. He has a 2.39 GAA and .919 Sv% compared to Giggy's 3.10 GAA and .900 Sv%. Regardless, if things start rocky, they can switch goalies without worrying.
I actually give a slight advantage to Anaheim since they have two solid goalies to rely on.
Special Teams
Power play = The Sharks were 3rd in the league with a 24.2% and the Ducks were 5th with a 23.6%.
Penalty kill = The Sharks were 5th with an 83.3% and the Ducks struggled, posting a 79.7% mark which ranked them 23rd.
The advantage goes to San Jose here.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For the Sharks, I go with Patrick Marleau. Jumbo Joe will come to play, but you never know what you'll get from Patty in the post-season. If he has a big series, it very well could mean the Sharks escape.
For Anaheim, I say Jonas Hiller. Can this guy continue what he did in the regular season? That's the big question because if he can play that well, then Anaheim has a real strong shot.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
San Jose went 11-8-2 from March on. They defeated just 3 playoff teams in that span. They lost to 4 playoff teams.
Anaheim went 11-5-2. They beat 3 playoff teams and lost to 3 in that time.
I give a slight advantage to the Ducks here who have just 2 regulation losses in their last 13 games.
My Prediction is: ANAHEIM in 7. I like the way the Ducks have turned on down the stretch, whereas I am now suspect of San Jose. Should be a great series that could go either way.
*****
#2 Detroit vs #7 Columbus
Detroit won the season series 3-2-1
Ahhh. The newbie vs the oldie. The grizzled veteran and Stanley Cup winning team vs the bright eyed and bushy tailed first timers. Yeah, that hyperbole is all well and good, but don't just write the Blue Jackets off right away.
Offense
Well no one averaged more goals per game than the Detroit Red Wings. They had the league high 3.52 average. The Jackets trended towards the bottom middle of the pack in 21st with a 2.68 average.
The Red Wings have one 40+ goal scorers, three 30+ goal scorers, and one 20+ goal scorer.
The Jackets have one 40 goal scorer, and two 20+ goal scorers.
You would have to be insane to not give the Wings the edge in this category.
Defense
Detroit ranked 20th in the NHL with an average of 2.93 goals against per game. The Blue Jackets ranked 9th with a 2.72.
The Wings D has Lidstrom and Rafalski. Beyond that, it's not very good. Enough said.
The Jackets D has no double digit scorers, but has 2 regulars with a +/- above +10.
Considering that Columbus has better depth at D, but Detroit has a good top pair, I'll call this a push.
Goaltending
Detroit will likely use Chris Osgood, or will it be Ty Conklin? We'll say Osgood for now. Osgood's GAA has ballooned to 3.09 and his save pecentage is .887. Conklin has a 2.51 GAA and .909 Sv%. Maybe they should go with Conklin.
Columbus has Calder candidate Steve Mason to put between the pipes. Mason's GAA is 2.29 and his Sv% a nice .916.
Advantage clearly goes to Columbus despite the lack of playoff experience.
Special Teams
Power play = There was none better than the Wings, who boasted a 25.5% success rate. On the other hand, there was no one worse than Columbus with an abysmal 12.7%. Good thing the playoffs don't see a ton of special teams.
Penalty kill = Detroit ranked 25th with their 78.3% while Columbus was 13th with an 82.1%.
Considering the complete opposites for both teams, a very slight edge goes to Detroit.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Detroit, it will have to be Conklin. If he can make saves, they can win games. If he cant, they will get beat.
For Columbus, I go with Rick Nash. Everyone wonders how big time players will play in their first taste of the post-season. Nash now has the chance to elevate himself to superstar status if he can help derail the Wings.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Detroit had a 10-7-2 record from March on. They defeated 4 playoff teams and lost 6 times to playoff teams.
Columbus went 10-6-4 in their last month plus. They beat a playoff team 7 times and lost to playoff teams 6 times.
Advantage goes to Columbus for more wins over tougher competition.
My Prediction is: COLUMBUS in 6. I've been preaching that the Wings are ripe for an upset for weeks. I have to stick to my guns and I think in this case we may find the playoff virgin Blue Jackets playing like they have no pressure. They don't know any better other than to go and win whereas Detroit is feeling mountains of pressure. Upset city for Hitch and Co. since I tend to favor defense and goaltending in the playoffs.

#3 Vancouver vs #6 St. Louis
Vancouver and St. Louis split the season series 2-2
The Blues made the most remarkable run post All-Star break in the history of the NHL. To go from 15th to 6th in a conference is unheard of. Vancouver had one real rough patch, but brought Mats Sundin back from retirement for a great 2nd half as well.
Offense
The Canucks improved their offensive production from last season as they hoped to. Vancouver averaged 2.96 goals per game which ranked them 11th in the NHL. St. Louis averaged 2.77 goals per game which was 19th.
Vancouver has one 30+ goal scorer, and four 20+ goal scorers.
St. Louis has two 30+ goal scorers, and two 20+ goal scorers. Despite their injuries, they have had 30 different players register a point for the them.
I give Vancouver the slight advantage for depth at forward.
Defense
The Canucks ranked 7th with a 2.60 goals against per game average. St. Louis was 12th with a 2.77 average.
The Canucks have 2 D-men with double digit goals. Also, 3 of their blueliners have a +10 or better rating in the +/-.
The Blues have almost no offense at D as Barret Jackman leads the D-men with 4 goals. It's a mix of +/- for the Blues.
Advantage easily goes to the Canucks here.
Goaltending
Vancouver has arguably the best goaltender in the playoffs. Roberto Luongo can dominate games at times. This season his GAA was 2.34 and his Sv% was .920.
St. Louis has a familiar face to Pred fans, Chris Mason. Mason can be one of THE reasons the Blues are in the playoffs this year. Mase finished the regular season with a 2.41 GAA and .916 Sv%.
The advantage goes to Vancouver, but Mase has played well in playoffs past.
Special Teams
Power play = Vancouver's man advantage was 17th in the NHL with an 18.8%. St. Louis was 8th in the league with a 20.5%
Penalty kill = Vancouver's PK was 16th with an 18.8%. St. Louis was 3rd at 83.8%
Advantage to St. Louis for this one.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Vancouver, I go with Alex Burrows. He quite a package of goal scoring (28), assists (23), strong at even strength (+23), and finds a way to play physical and rack up the PIM's (150).
For St. Louis, it has to be rookie T.J. Oshie. The complete package that could flourish on the big stage. I can't wait to see what he brings to the post-season.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Vancouver went 14-5-2 from March on. They beat playoff teams 6 times and lost to them just twice.
St. Louis went 13-5-2. The won 7 times against playoff teams and lost 4 times.
Slight advantage to the Canucks for less losses to playoff teams.
My Prediction is: VANCOUVER in 5. St. Louis has had a great season and I honesty believe their head coach Andy Murray deserves the Jack Adams. That said, they are running into a buzz saw of a team. They have been playing above their heads and the Blues have to slow down sometime. I think Bobby Lou may be their sleeping pill.

#4 Chicago vs #5 Calgary
Chicago swept the season series 4-0
Chicago changed things very early in season, firing Denis Savard in favor of Joel Quenneville way back on Oct. 16th. Calgary made the biggest splash at the trade deadline, but that hasn't proven to be the best fix just yet.
Offense
The Hawks averaged 3.17 goals per game which was 4th in the NHL. Calgary averaged 3.06 which was 8th.
Chicago has one 30+ goal scorer and four 20+.
Calgary has two 30+ goal scorers and four 20+.
I give Chicago the slight edge with the depth they have at forward.
Defense
Chicago gave up 2.55 goals per game on average which was 5th best in the NHL. Calgary gave up 3.00 goals against per game which is 23rd in the league.
Chicago has no D-men with double digit goal totals, but they do have two blueliners with +20 or more in their +/-.
Calgary has two D-men with 10+ goals. That said, Dion Phaneuf has not had a stellar season. Also, only 2 Flames D-men that see regular roles have a positive in the +/-.
I call this one a push.
Goaltending
Although they split time at points this year, Nikolai Khabibulin is the go-to guy over Cristobal Huet. The Bulin' Wall finished with a 2.33 GAA and .919 Sv%.
Calgary relies on Miikka Kiprusoff, who played in a whopping 76 games. His GAA was 2.84 and Sv% was .903.
I give the advantage to Chicago here because I've not been solid with Kipper's play this season.
Special Teams
Power play = Chicago has the 12th ranked PP with a 19.3%. The Flames man advantage is ranked 21st at 17.0%.
Penalty kill = The Hawks PK is 18th with an 80.6%. The Flames have the 4th best PK at 83.4%
No clear advantage here so I say a push.
The X Factors These are the player for each team that could have the greatest impact in my mind. If this player should get hurt or miss games, then his team may be done.
For Chicago, it's Martin Havlat. If he stays healthy throughout the playoffs he can be the driving force of Chicago's offense.
For Calgary, it has to be Jarome Iginla. He can take over games single handedly and if he has a bad series I see no way Calgary can win.
Down the Stretch How have the teams performed in the last month and a half? I'm a firm believer in your play headed into the playoffs affecting teams.
Chicago went 12-7-3. I should note that in April the Hawks were 6-0-1. They beat 8 playoff teams and lost to playoff teams 7 times.
Calgary went 9-12 from March to the end of the regular season. The Flames only beat playoff teams 3 times. They lost 7 times to playoff teams.
Clear advantage to Chicago for this category.
My Prediction is: CHICAGO in 5. The right mixture of goaltending, veterans, and young players can make for a deadly concoction in the post-season. I love what the Hawks bring to the table. Calgary has really disappointed down the stretch and I have no confidence in them at all. I almost want to say sweep, but instead I think it will be a dominant 5 game series for Chicago.
