NHL Second Round Preview


Last Night NHL Execs must have been in tears after their best player(Alexander the Great) was eliminated in overtime in thrilling fashion. There are few things better in sports then a Game 7 NHL game that goes into "Sudden Death". With that being said it is now time for Round 2 to begin and there are some interesting match-ups. The Penguins/Rangers series could be special with the silly talent level in Pittsburgh going against the suddenly defensive minded high priced Rangers. The young talent acquired in Pittsburgh is the equivalent to a team in the NBA drafting Lebron(Crosby) one year then drafting Oden(Fleury) the next. This team should win every Cup for the next decade. Any way here are my pics:
Flyers over Canadiens in 6
Red Wings over Avalanche in 5
Sharks over Stars in 7
Rangers over Penguins in 6

Is that the sport they play on the old Outdoor Life Network? Barry Melrose, right? It definitely sucks for the league that Ovechkin is out, as he has emerged as the face of the league. This will give Crosby more of a chance to shine without him around, thus further developing the Gretzky-Lemeiux like storyline. Also, they need to get this sport back on ESPN. Most people don't know that they get Vs. Great picture.
