So much energy and emotion out into those last few weeks. Out-of-town scoreboard watching galore! And look what happens:

West Makes Sense:
WCF #1 San Jose vs. #2 Chicago

East....WTF?
ECF #8 Montreal vs. #6 Boston or #7 Philadelphia

If you knew then what you know now, those last few weeks of the regualr season woulda been a breeze!

Well, the east was looking pretty weak going in. Looks like it's playing out just that way.

With Washington out, the East wasn't even a favorite for the Cup, and really, they still aren't.

It was all Washington, then every Western team basically.

Position means things at the end, but look at what a hot goalie can do for your team and a team who is just playing really well, they can beat anyone, even in a 7 game series.

Chicago still seems like the strongest team left, incredible team defense and can put the puck into the net.

Yep, it doesn't mean a damn thing. The Pens won 2 game 7s on the road last season, and lost a game seven at home this season. It doesn't mean a thing.

Penguins piss me off sometimes. MONTREAL? I think Crosby was trying to do it all or he was trying to hit instead of play. Malkin was no better either.

BTW, hockey is becoming a joke. Horrible refs, Bettman wont suspend someone if they used their skate as a shank, and big teams are out of the playoffs, small teams in.

I wouldn't call Chicago, San Jose, Montreal, Boston or Philly small clubs...

Yeah. These are the "toughest" teams out there. They have attitude and snarl.

The Sabres? Not so much, unfortunately.
