Blue Jackets ice being torn up
just got my first tickets of the season for tomorrow night. Hopefully they put a hurt on the sens and wrap up the northeast.
I wanted to see the Blue Jackets make the playoffs. Out of the Red Wings, Jackets and Wild; I wanted to see the Wild the least in the first round because Backstrom's been a thorn in the Hawks' side. But oh well, should still only take 5 or 6 to dispense Minnesota. Should be a good series.

PIT over NYI in 5
MON over OTT in 6
NYR over WAS in 7
BOS over TOR in 6
CHI over MIN in 5
DET over ANH in 6
SJ over VAN in 6
LA over STL in 5
And then Chicago over everyone.
Pens in 6
Habs in 6
Rangers in 6
Bruins in 5
Hawks in 6
Wings in 7
Sharks in 7
Blues in 6
Some people were saying the rangers should have hoped for Boston, but I like the matchup of DC. It's a known entity and I feel we play these fuckers every year. Rangers in 6.
Pens in 5
Habs in 7
Boston in 5

PIT over NYI in 7
MON over OTT in 5
NYR over WAS in 6
BOS over TOR in 6
CHI over MIN in 4

Regular season means dick.
Example: The Canucks. Always.
But if we're gonna go by regular season, y'all are in for some serious shit. Enjoy.

In terms of presidents trophy winners, definitely true. I read awhile back that a team that takes the season series wins a playoff matchup over that same team almost 2/3's of the time, so I'd say that means something. Granted, two of those wins were in the skills competition.
