NHL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS — Drew on Sports

Sorry for not posting in awhile but I was lazy and had things to do(not true) but anyway here are my predictions for the NHL postseason.

To be honest I did not follow the NHL season as thoroughly as in the past but I do feel confident about my picks in a year that was unpredictable in the East and quite predictable in the West outside of Dallas.

SORRY ANOTHER COMPUTER ISSUE HAS CAUSED ME TO SKIP FROM HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND TO THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND. AGAIN SORRY
