Pittsburgh vs. Montreal
Boy, do a lot of people ever know everything about hockey eh? You'd think Montreal was the first seed and Washington scraped into the playoffs! Who were we to think that the highest scoring team in the league, with the most points, with the highest goal differential and the best powerplay would beat a team with a forward corps full of Oompa Loompas, a defense as mobile as a Hal Gill on skates (wait...), and a goaltending situation perhaps best described as having all the unity and cohesion as that guy from Identity. None of you called it! Stop pretending!!! Anyway, Pittsburgh looked really good in the first game, the powerplay had four goals and Halak was chased after five goals on 20 shots. In keeping with the integrity of this experiment you'd have to take Pittsburgh by quite a bit, especially with Montreal losing Markov for probably the series. The Pens, against this opponent anyway, have more than enough to compensate for the loss of Jordan Staal, who is currently listed as out indefinately. Pens in 5.
