For some reason I think Carolina is going all the way.

Right now I'm pulling for Edmonton in the West and Florida in the East. But wouldn't be shocked if they both get knocked out this round too.

There's also the Porch Dweller Curse. The only time my teams (Patriots, Bruins, Red Sox) win championships is if I'm out of the country. I was home, so no Stanley Cup. Although me being overseas does NOT guarantee a victory. I was in Ireland when the B's lost to the Blues.

I’m feeling and wanting the same thing. When the Panthers aren’t in the mix, I do pull for the Canadian teams, whomever is left. I’d like to see the 30 year drought of a Canadian team winning the cup come to an end. Playoff hockey is so unpredictable so I could definitely see Edmonton and Florida bounced out this round but I could equally see both making the cup. Unfortunately if that does happen, I gotta put my fandom aside. Anything is possible in playoff hockey. We just saw it in the Boston/Florida series but I think Edmonton would beat Florida pretty handedly. I could definitely see a Canadian team breaking the 30 year curse at Florida’s expense. Lots of hockey left to be played. Nothing comes close to playoff hockey. Best 2 months of sports. :-)

Odd to see them without Bergeron and Kreji, John. Maybe they're lucky that first game was against the Hawks? :-) :-)
[Reply]

I was definitely said to see Bergeron go. He's one of those rare players that's pretty much irreplaceable.

What an OT goal by Pasta!!! I don't think they have much of a chance in Round 2, but what a way to win a game 7 in OT!

Florida will be a tough opponent, but should be a great series. :-)
