Bruins in five. Suspect defense, goaltending and coaching on the Washington side.

I've been a Knights season ticket holder for years, I know all about the myth that Dale Hunter is actually a good coach. He really struggles in the playoffs, you'll see.

Rooting for Boston.

Didn't want NYR to be matched up with Caps first round, they scare me. Backstrom back, they have some weapons, I think they can do some damage. Caps in 6.

But man am I rooting for Boston. I used to "root" for the Caps, but just can't do it anymore. Hoping to see them exit early.

I think this series comes down to goaltending. With that, I think Boston takes it in 6 games. unless the caps play to their potential of course. Ovie, backstrom, semin, and green are lethal especially if the B's don't stay out of the box.

Caps squeak out wins in games 1 and 2, then upon seeing Washington crowd all wearing Obama masks, Tim Thomas has an on-ice stroke. Turco takes the ice only to roll over in submissive urination once Ovechkin comes down the wing; Khudobin voluntarily deports himself back to Kazakhstan.

4-0 Caps.

So there is that.

And of course the secret weapon
He's so secret Caps fans can't even tell if he dressed for the first 82 games, or even arrived from Nashville at all.

I think you mean "line 4a"

I'm picking Boston to win...I don't know which team I want to win this one, though. This is the only series where I don't want one to win more than the other...Bruins are the better team, and more likely to be a tough physical match-up if they play my team down the line. But I respect them a heck of a lot more than Washington.

I think the Bruins are in big trouble here... caps have had huge letdowns the last few seasons in the post season and almost let this season slip away. I can't see a first round exit for them.

B's chemistry is nowhere near what it was last season and TT doesn't have Rask to lean on, done in 5 or 6 and might I say GOOD RIDDANCE!

Least of the 3 I wanted to see in the first round but you gotta beat everyone in your way to win it all.

That being said, Bruins in 7 only because I see this as a possible upset.

I accept that. Or 3 a/b.... I've been use to the 3 and 4 line shuffle since Jan..... 4a has been pretty much the consistent line last 3 wks for sure.

I'm pulling for the Caps, but I've still gotta call Bruins in 5.
