I had another good night with the Predators giving me my only loss of the season. For everyone who was able to watch the Flyers game like I did how crazy was that. I’m not sure another game this postseason can top what transpired in that one. And the Devils pulled out the win after just dominating the Panthers in the first period, but giving up 2 to let the game get close worries me a bit for the next games. My NHL Playoffs record is now (6-1) for +6.48 units. I’m planning to keep winning throughout.
Ottawa Senators @ New York Rangers
The Senators didn’t look out of place at all in game 1 but a few costly errors in their own end cost them 4 goals which was more than enough for the stingy New York defense with Lundqvist in net. I expect the Senators to be harder on the puck tonight so this game will come down to a few bounces that could go either way. With that philosophy you have to like the line on the Senators tonight as fairly big dogs.

San Jose Sharks @ St Louis Blues
The Sharks have higher end talent than the Blues and this translates into success in the Playoffs when the Blues hard work is matched. St Louis stumbled down the stretch and after losing the first game in this series their confidence could be compromised and if Niemi can stand on his head again the young Blues could start to panic which will result in the talent of the Sharks putting the puck in their net. The Blues play a very systematic game and if they get rattled at all this system could fall apart which would result in a guaranteed loss.

Chicago Blackhawks @ Phoenix Coyotes
The Blackhawks outplayed the Coyotes in game 1 and I expect their stars to step up even bigger in game 2. The Blackhawks have too much talent up front for Mike Smith to continue to keep the puck out of the net like he has. Also the loss of Radim Vrbata for the Coyotes is a big loss as he was their second leading scorer throughout the season. The Blackhawks are just a better all around team and I expect that to show tonight.
