Considering they're up against the Blues, I doubt the Jets will go further than the first round. But the Blues have come up short in the playoffs in recent years, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possiblity. This year, the playoffs are just too hard for me to predict. Right now, I'm leaning toward Rangers/Blues final but that could change before the playoffs start.

Boston officially misses the playoffs; Ottawa and Pittsburgh are in!

I am a Habs guy and to be honest there seems to be something special in Montreal this year. The defense is good and well the Goaltending is out of this world! If Eller comes out in the Playoffs like he did last year as with a few other players who knows... But Price could also put this team on his back also.

Now all that aside I feel bad for whoever plays the Jets this year. Both Calgary and Winnipeg are more than capable of upsets. My Heart says Montreal for the Cup, my gut says Winnipeg. They honestly seem built for the playoffs and Myers is going to put on a show.

I think the Blues are built for the playoffs but the biggest question is their goaltending. But the Jets do play a playoff style type game. 

Price was on my fantasy team this year so I know just how good he is. But Hammond and the Sens have been excellent. I mean, Hammond has gone 20-1-2, that's crazy! Not to mention, Pacioretty's status is still uncertain. So I tihnk Ottawa has a good chance for an upset.



Anyone else do the Bracket Challenge on Nhl.com? I've got Minnesota over Tampa in 6.
