Please TB....please show the Leafs the door again in the 1st round. That is all I care about. I really want to celebrate Maple Leaf Elimination Day early again this year.

BOS, TOR, NYI, NYR in East

No predictions as usual, but expect some upsets.

Carolina has some key injuries and I can see them losing in round 1 as a result.

Storylines to follow: 

-"Can the tired Lightning beat the young gun Maple Leafs who continue to fall in the spring despite the laws of nature?" Sincerely, the Media.

-What are the Jets doing in the postseason - doesn't everyone want out of Winnipeg?  

-Carolina would be a heavy favorite by far if it weren't for Boston.  Certainly could make an exceptional Eastern Conf. Finals (Carolina vs. Boston).  

-Once the Oilers have lost a couple games, look for the Canadian media to decry their chances, only to forget there was ever panic when they move to the second round.
