Warmer weather is ok but everyone knows the best part of spring is the NHL playoffs.

And while my call of a Red Wings repeat last year came up just short, that’s not going to deter me from tabbing the Penguins to repeat this year.

Places your bets ladies….

Round 1

• Caps walk all over Habs in a no contest sweep
• Devils outslug the Flyers in 6
• The toughest series to call: Sabres vs Bruins… I’m thinking Boston doesn’t have enough scoring to beat Miller… Boston in 6
• Pens will have no trouble with Ottawa… Pitt in 5
• Sharks have no problem with Avs in a sweep
• Blackhawks only need 5 to dispatch Predators
• Canucks struggle in the playoffs as usual but sneak by Kings in 7
• Tough break for Phoenix drawind Detroit…. Wings over yotes in 6

Round 2

• NHL gets its wish with Sid vs Ovie again in the playoffs. I’d like to see the Caps advance but they won’t… Pitt in 6
• Devils-Sabres will be the kind of defensive battle that make some people call the NHL soccer on skates and real fans will love it… Devils in 7
• The ultimate regular season team vs the most post season savvy… another year, another disappointing end in San Jose. Wings in 6
• Blackhawks have too much horse power to be stopped by a struggling Loungo and Vancouver… Hawks in 6

Round 3

• Jersey will give Pitt a scare but the Devils just can’t match Pitt’s star power. Pengiuns in 6
• Blackhawks take the next step in this old school rivalry beating the Wings in 7

Stanley Cup Finals
So it’s Pittsburgh vs Chicago… and everyone knows that the young team needs to lose before they can learn to win it all. Pens repeat by beating Chicago in 5 as the Hawks youth + lack of goaltending finally catches up with them.
