Last night I went 1 for 3 again, but the Preds were pretty big dogs so it kept my night respectable. The Blackhawks game went to overtime for the 3rd straight time and Crawford let in a week goal reminiscent of the Kane Stanley Cup winner two years ago. My record for the playoffs now is
New York Rangers @ Ottawa Senators
The Senators looked like the better team in game 3 and I expect the same tonight in a game that they must win. I expect Spezza to step up tonight and lead the way with a couple points. Michalek I don’t really expect to step up, but if he does the Sens will get the win. The role players are playing how they need to, but the stars who get the extra ice time need to put it to use and find a way to score on Lundqvist. I will be at this game tonight and I expect a Senators win.

Pittsburgh Penguins @ Philadelphia Flyers
The Penguins are absolutely not the kind of team that will lay down and die when down 3-0 in a series. This series will not be over until you see Sidney Crosby crying (oh wait that would probably indicate the series was already over). This series will not be over until you see the handshake and if any team could come back in a series its this one where the incredible has happened. I expect a Penguins victory tonight because I think this team is too proud to go from the Stanley Cup favourites to eliminated in four.

Vancouver Canucks @ Los Angeles Kings
The Canucks are a similar story to the Penguins. The second favourites to win the Cup heading into the playoffs find themselves on the brink of elimination. I don’t see the Canucks as proud as the Penguins and the Kings will be a much harder team to win 4 straight against with Quick in net who can steal any game, but I do like the Canucks to prevent an elimination tonight. Sedin could be back and that alone would be a huge boost. Regardless I like the Canucks as underdogs.
