NHL Playoffs 2011

I know this isn't the best place on the internet to talk about sports but I know there has to be some hockey fans up here.

How bout these playoffs?!?
Yeah! Go Lightning! Went to my first playoff game last night! Good stuff!


Who do you think will make it all the way?
How do you like the series so far?
blah blah blah

Being English (I seem to say that a lot) I don't really have any affiliation to a team so when I got into ice hockey I picked the Anaheim Ducks (Blame Emilio Estevez) and when I realized there is essentially two championships (East/West conferences) I plumped for the Pittsburgh Penguins too... so you can imagine how I'm feeling.

Tampa Bay doing a clean sweep is impressive but the Bruins seem on form too so they'll be interesting to see up against each other.

I'm hoping For a Canucks win really as I plan to go to Canada this year on holiday so I thought I'd be supportive.

I wanna see Vancouver vs Lightning

Why? It'll remind me of Calgary vs Lightning

Barring a historic comeback, the Conference Finals will be:

Vancouver (1) vs San Jose (2)
Boston (3) vs Tampa Bay (5)

Looks Really Freaking Good! Go Canucks!

I am kicking myself for not drafting Lightning players in my playoff draft. I predicted a Lightning vs Canucks final with Detroit and Buffalo losing in the Conf Finals. I made a mistake drafting top line Sabres rather than second or third line Bolts. Best I can do in my pool is third, which'll only get me my money back, and my team needs to fight for even that.

As the only Canadian Team left, I feel obliged to cheer for them, but I am worried about the Sharks taking it. Nashville is hopeless, so a showdown between the Canucks and the Sharks is inevitable.
