The Caps open against Montreal in the playoffs tomorrow night for the first time in team history. I’m expecting a good, but hopefully fast series for our heroes. I think Montreal can steal a game at home but otherwise I don’t think the Habs can match the Caps offensively or physically. Should be fun to watch at any rate.
Here are my picks for the first round:
East
- Washington over Montreal in 5
- Buffalo over Boston in 6
- Philadelphia over New Jersey in 7
- Ottawa over Pittsburgh in 7
West
- San Jose over Colorado in 7
- Chicago over Nashville in 5
- Vancouver over Los Angeles in 6
- Phoenix over Detroit in 7
