Okay, Boston, Washington and New Jersey are locked and loaded, but there's still a lot of confusion about who the top seeds will face when the playoffs start. Philly, Carolina and Pittsburgh all have 97 points right now, but that could change fast. The Flyers have 2 games left while the others have only one remaining game. Philadelphia should cement their fourth place finish in the Eastern Conference but their oppoent will be either the Hurricanes or the Penguins. It all depends on their respective last games of the season.
The Bruins and Caps are still waiting for the Rangers and Habs to sort themselves out, but even if both Montreal and New York win their games, their current opponents look like a given. I'm thinking Bruins-Habs, Capitals-Rangers. Both would be excellent first round match ups (Did you see any of the game last night between Boston and Montreal?) and the Capitals have longtime scores to settle with the Rangers. A Devils-Penguins match up would be nice and I think the Hurricanes could upset the Flyers. But we're still getting ahead of ourselves. Let's wait and see what these last handful of games offers before we try to figure out exactly who plays who.
