It's definitely going to be strange without playoff hockey in Ottawa...or Ontario for that matter. Montreal limped into eight place to secure the final playoff spot thus ensuring at least one Canadian team will last one round this post-season out East. Anyway, I'm rambling on making this post no longer condensed! Here are my predictions for round one:

Eastern Conference

1. Boston Bruins (1) vs Montreal Canadiens (8) - Bruins in 4
2. Washington Capitals (2) vs New York Rangers (7) - Caps in 6
3. New Jersey Devils (3) vs Carolina Hurricanes (6) - Canes in 6
4. Pittsburgh Penguins (4) vs Philadephia Flyers (5) - Pens in 5

Western Conference

1. San Jose Sharks vs Anaheim Ducks - Sharks in 6
2. Detroit Red Wings vs Columbus Blue Jackets - Wings in 5
3. Vancouver Canucks vs St Louis Blues - Canucks in 7
4. Chicago Blackhawks vs Calgary Flames - Hawks in 7
