No, I'll simply invite him to our Jameson-drinking party (how about that for a cross-thread reference, eh?) and win him over.

Well, you've certainly won me over.

You're right about one thing shadows, I'm very glad that Montreal and Boston aren't facing each other in the first round. I'd love it if Montreal could beat Washington, but I'm not going to count on it.

Question-- in the playoffs, how many games do teams play against one another? Is it a one and you're done? Or do they play a series of 3 games?

They are best-of-7 series, so at least four games for each playoff matchup.

Ahh, so the playoffs will last a little while. I know in the college playoffs, it was a best of three series. Thanks for the info, as this is my first year following the NHL.

More like an eternity, unless the team you're rooting for keeps going.

You picked a good year to start! There are going to be some exciting series this post-season, that is for sure!
