Raise your hand if you thought we would not be seeing the playoffs until April, 2022.

You have until Saturday at 7pm ET to get your picks in.

For the first timers, I make it very easy for you to pick the winner, just copy and paste the teams involved in each series, make your pick and if you'd like, tell us how many games each series will last. Extra credit if you want to name the team who will win the Cup.

My plans, I will be putting up an open post every day a game(s) is scheduled right through the SCF.

Of course, I will be doing what I do on a regular basis to keep all of you informed about our great game.

First round matchups are below.

East

#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #4 New York Islanders

#2 Washington Capitals vs. #3 Boston Bruins

Central

#1 Carolina Hurricanes vs. #4 Nashville Predators

#2 Florida Panthers vs. #3 Tampa Bay Lightning

North

#1 Toronto Maple Leafs vs. #4 Montreal Canadiens

#2 Edmonton Oilers vs. #3 Winnipeg Jets

West

#1 Colorado Avalanche vs. #4 St. Louis Blues

#2 Vegas Golden Knights vs. #3 Minnesota Wild
