The Washington Capitals season review will be added later tonight (probably after the Sharks-Wings game) but for now, enjoy our predictions of the Eastern Conference Semifinals!
(4) Pittsburgh Penguins Vs. (8) Montreal Canadiens
The Scoop: Pittsburgh's had a few days to rest after eliminating the Senators after the playoffs. However, that means Jaroslav Halak won't be cooled down and that could be dangerous considering he was a soldier against a team that was heavily favored by many to win the Cup. Dave thinks it's going to be a grueling series that will see Montreal claw their way through; Mike thinks while Sidney Crosby's mettle as a leader will be significantly tested, their dominance over the Canadiens during the regular season gives them an edge in the series.
Dave says: Montreal in seven.
Mike says: Pittsburgh in six.
(6) Boston Bruins Vs. (7) Philadelphia Flyers
The Scoop: These are are the other two teams in the East whom many felt didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in advancing. While the Flyers have been beset by injuries, losing both Jeff Carter and Ian LaPerriere for the season, the Bruins have been getting healthier and are poised to have Marc Savard return to the lineup for the series. Dave thinks that the injuries to the Flyers will spell the end of their run; Mike agrees.
Dave and Mike both say: Boston in five.
