Todd Cordell: NHL Eastern Conference Playoff Predictions: Round 1

wishful thinking man....Most of the other series are tough to call, But Washington stomping Philly is the only one where there is no doubt.

Im a Flyers fan and I want to see them win that being said I am going with the Caps in a tough 6 game series.

You're just an advocate for the respective states of Florida and Pennsylvania.

Guess Isles injures down the stretch weren't important enough to point out.

Is Tampa no longer part of Florida?

Yes, please!!

I have seen some real bad predictions in my life but these right here have to be the worse

My bad, I refused to believe he actually chose the Wings.

They're my pick. Tampa Bay is banged up with some big injuries to key people. Detroit isn't especially deep, but they'll likely get past Tampa Bay only to get dismantled in the second round.

Listen to you an Oilers fan! Have some hope for the lower seeds as you may be lucky to be one next year and finally make the playoffs after missing for 10 years.

salty much?

Red Wings
Panthers
Penguins
Capitals

Todd - agree with all but the Caps/Flyers. After watching the last week or so of the season it seems to me that Philly blew its load trying to make the playoffs. The last 2 games they played (before clinching) they looked emotionally spent and lacked jump in their step. I think Philly wins game 2 but that's about it. Caps 4-1

For Ovechkin's sake, I hope the dude doesn't get bounced in the first round lmao

They very well could be spent already. The last week they crawled to the finish line. We'll see if the rest recharges them

Not at all, I am happy for the Flyers to make the playoffs and basically have someone stomp on them I don't think is super fair.

Flyers in 7...days will be cleaning out their lockers.

Only way I see the Flyers winning the series is in 6. Can't see them winning a game 7 on the road. Especially where the team has a lot of pressure going into these playoffs. Not that the Verizon Center is Madison Square Garden, but that crowd will be beyond raucous.

Flyers should aim to steal one of the first 2 on the road and hold serve at home.

I'm not sure. Flyers played the caps hard this year. One thing is for sure is the flyers are ahead of schedule on rebuild. We haven't even seen our best prospects yet!!! It's gunna be a great future here in philly!!!

Nah, if I didn't follow the Isles closely in the past week and a half, I'd think the same thing. It's more the ridiculousness of the Flyers' blogger picking his 90-point team over a team that had wrapped up the President's trophy sometime around New Years. And if the Isles were facing the Caps, I'd think they'd also be dead meat.

Well, in that CASE, I'll bet him $1000 even money that the Caps take this.
