I have no clue to be honest. Our goalie never played a playoff game before and most of our team has limited playoff experience. Aside from that, Ovechkin makes me nervous. But considering we went from 56 points last season to 95 points this season, I'm pumped and excited to be back in the playoffs. This season has been a success as far as I'm concerned and the rest is gravy.

That's good perspective, I think. The Ovechkin & Co. train is going to be hard to stop, and Huet is tough to beat on the top of his game. That said, youse guys did get more points than them this season and they're not a perfect hockey team by any stretch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Philly in the second round, but I haven't decided who I'll pick in the series yet.

It's not like we backed into the playoffs. We are 7-1-1 in our last 9.

Both teams head into this series playing well.

Ovechkin is by far the best player in the NHL, IMO, and his supporting cast is a talented group unlike previous seasons. With Huet between the pipes they are a very dangerous team. I think we have an advantage with our defense and scoring depth as well as special teams so it should be an interesting series. It's too bad that it will probably lack the emotion of a rivalry, though.

I'll be surprised if Ottawa wins a single game, let alone a series.

One last thing about the Flyers - Caps series.

The Caps have home ice advantage but in reality the Flyers will probably have more fans in the building for just about every game.

The Flyers-Caps series doesn't begin until Friday, which is great news for the Flyers. It gives us time to rest and possibly get Briere and Hatcher back in the lineup.

The Bruins are oh-fer against Montreal this year, and it really hasn't been close. This is the worst possible matchup for the B's. If they stretch it beyond 5, I'd be shocked.
