What Do You Think Will Be The Most Exciting First Round Match Up?

The Sharks and Ducks. Both have talent and the Ducks are hot right now while the Sharks have struggled a bit of late. The Sharks also have to overcome the stigma of being a poor playoff team and the Ducks feel they have something to prove. Plus the instate rivalry and the potential for this to be a physical series....I am guessing this will be an incredibly entertaining series and may go the full 7 games. The Ducks have the kind of talent to send home the #1 seed but the Sharks have a new coach and a different kind of confidence going into the playoffs than in years past. Should be a war. The Bruins are also a candidate to get sent home early but I dont have much confidence in the Habs goaltending or chemistry at this point.

I don't know how anyone can say anything but Bruins/Canadiens. They have such a rivalry all throughout hockey history. They've met more times in the playoffs then any other two teams and absolutely hate each other. The proof is in the game between the two last week. There were like 5 fights and it was a thrilling game start to finish.

For me personally Canadiens / Bruins, but Red Wings / Jackets could be interesting because of Mason's play in net.

i would say flyers/penguins because both are excellent, excellent teams that have a fierce rivalry in the regular season amped up by the playoffs. these teams play very physical hockey against each other. should be good.

Hi

I agree with VIP, Ducks against Sharks will be everything Pens/Flyers is billed as plus. I can see some multi overtime games, multi fights, highlight reel saves and goals, and everything playoff hockey is supposed to be. I am willing to say I would watch a game from this series over my favorite team playing, that is how good I expect it to be.

Thank You

Flyers and Pens is definitely going to be the most interesting because they are rivals.

But, right now I just want the Devils to make it through the first round, not like last year.

The Devils are going to win the cup this year!

LETS GO DEVILS!!!

For me, Boston, Montreal. My dad is a huge Bruins fan and my uncle is a huge Montreal fan. My uncle get so mad soooooo easy. It's kinda funny. All games will be good though but I say Boston Montreal.

Rangers and the Capitals Overchkin again the Rangers's great goalie and Avery against Theodore who is not a good goalie.

I wants the Devils to win it all!

bruins and canadiens should be good, same division, flyers, penguins, same state, devils and carolina and rangers and caps should be interesting but not as good

Bruins and Canadians because of Therock and Looch fighting.
