Nevermind!!

How do you feel about your chances, CSD?

I have no clue to be honest. Our goalie never played a playoff game before and most of our team has limited playoff experience. Aside from that, Ovechkin makes me nervous. But considering we went from 56 points last season to 95 points this season, I'm pumped and excited to be back in the playoffs. This season has been a success as far as I'm concerned and the rest is gravy.

That's good perspective, I think. The Ovechkin & Co. train is going to be hard to stop, and Huet is tough to beat on the top of his game. That said, youse guys did get more points than them this season and they're not a perfect hockey team by any stretch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Philly in the second round, but I haven't decided who I'll pick in the series yet.

Washington is on fire. Good luck with that...

Ovechkin is by far the best player in the NHL, IMO, and his supporting cast is a talented group unlike previous seasons. With Huet between the pipes they are a very dangerous team. I think we have an advantage with our defense and scoring depth as well as special teams so it should be an interesting series. It's too bad that it will probably lack the emotion of a rivalry, though.

Okay, let's try reality next time

One last thing about the Flyers - Caps series.

The Caps have home ice advantage but in reality the Flyers will probably have more fans in the building for just about every game.
