I'm looking forward to a Bruins - Canadiens series next, but I'm afraid Montreal is not looking up to the challenge.

The Habs only lost Game #5 2-1, so they still have a good chance to take the series. It's certainly possible to beat Pittsburgh too games in a row, as the only "no-doubt" victory for the Penguins so far has been the 6-3 blowout in Game #1.

Detroit has been eliminated 4 games to 1 by the Sharks. Kudos to the Sharks for not allowing the 7-1 defeat the game before to affect them, as they held the Red Wings to 1 goal(the Sharks won 2-1). From the looks of it, it will be a San Jose/Chicago Western Final. That should be an entertaining, high-scoring series that either team could win.

Vancouver has not been playing well in net, so I am basically counting them out while being down 3 games to 1. Luongo has been quite poor since Game #1 and he is one of the main reasons Vancouver is where they are right now.
