Hockey Central

Tonight is the beginning of the NHL Playoffs. The Rangers are back in the playoffs and ready to go. I like them to take the first game over the Capitals. This is a key game for both teams. Both teams, the Rangers especially, would like the momentum going into Game Two. The Coyotes will go into Detroit and get a big win over the Red Wings. Steven Stamkos will have a great playoff debut as he will lead the Lightning to a victory. The Penguins will fall. Crosby is doubtful for the game. The Blackhawks will battle with the Canucks. The Canucks will get the win but don't bail on the Blackhawks. Take my word, Johnathan Toews will bring them back in Game Two. The Ducks will get an easy win over the Predators. Tomorrow is when the action will get good. The Canadiens will face their arch rivals, the Bruins. The Canadiens will get the win but I predict that there will be at least 3 fights. This could be the biggest bloodbath the NHL has ever seen. The Flyers will get the Game One win over the Sabres in the City of Brotherly Love. In an instate rivalry, the Sharks will get a win over the Kings in San Jose. The whole hockey nation will be watching these next weeks.
