Since my Winnipeg Jets didn't quite make the cut I'm going with my other favorite, a team that has a bunch of guys from Winnipeg on their roster (who just happen to be several of their best players as it turns out). I've been a Blackhawks fan for a long time now, wouldn't mind seeing a Pittsburgh-Chicago finale. But while Chicago faces Minnesota Wild in the opening round, the Pens take on the Islanders who have been a tough team lately.

Nice to see Toronto finally making the post-season. The last time they did this there was no ipad, youtube didn't exist, and no one had a clue what twitter was. I don't see them making it much farther than the first few rounds but you never know. They face Boston first.

Montreal vs Ottawa - Hard to call this one, could go either way.

Vancouver vs San Jose - This will be a good series.

Washington Caps - NY Rangers - Honestly I'm not sure I really care much about who wins this one. The eastern conf. may however very well come to a showdown between Cindy Crosby and Alice Ovechkin. :D

Make your pick for who's going to win it all this year.
