This years Playoffs has been the mose exciting in years

Hello, Hockey fans. I hope all of you are enjoying this fantastic playoff year as much as I am. I don't remeber a playoff season with this much fun and excitment in a long time. I mean this playoffs has it all the final 4 being the veteran defending Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings looking to repeat, The Cinderella Carolina Hurricanes looking to reclaim the championship they won in 2006, The young up and coming Chicago Blackhawks, who have a high school friend of mine playing for them in Dave Bolland and who can forget the defending Eastern Conference champion Pittsburgh Penguins led by Sydney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. I'm expecting these 2 series both to go 7 games and see Detroit defeat Carolina in a rematch of the 2002 Stanley cup final and the wings winning in 6 games, but lets talk about the rest of the playoffs.

The first round of the playoffs saw some teams dominate and sweep their opponents with the Wings, Bruins and Canucks advancing in 4 games, We saw upsets as the Anaheim ducks defeated the heavily favored San Jose Sharks in 6 games, We a young team defeat the veterans in The Blackhawks defeating the Calgary Flames in 6, Also the battle of pennsylvania was as tuff as it always is as The pens defeated the Flyers in a physical 6 game series and we saw 2 thrilling game 7's with The Carolina Hurricanes only a 1:30 secs away from being eliminated to score 2 goals and defeat the New Jersey Devils and We Saw the Washington Capitals come back after trailing 3 games to 1 come back and defeat the New York Rangers. The first round was great and the second round was even better.

The second Round saw 3 game 7's and one 6 game series. Their were still upsets as the Hurricanes defeat the Bruins in overtime in game 7 with Scott Walker being the hero in what was one of the most exciting game 7's I have ever witnessed. The Chicago BlackHawks speed and skill defeat The Vancouver Canucks in 6 games and it could have been a shorter series if it wasn't for Roberto Luongo. Detroit defeat Anaheim in 7 in what was possibly the hardest hitting series of the playoffs and Who can forget the most anticapated playoff series in Sydney Crosby's Penguins facing Alex Ovechkin's Washington Capitals. This was a series about 2 superstars who didn't disappoint and lived up to all the hype. This series had hits, saves, goals and 3 overtime games and in the end the Pens depth was to much for the Caps, but these 2 teams will meet again and it will be another exciting series.

Now were down to the final 4 I hope all of hockey fans are getting ready to see 4 tuff teams sacrifice everything just to get a chance at the Stanley Cup.
