Irsquoll take Edmonton but only because Irsquom Canadian

Look out, because I think the Kings are going to pepper the Islanders with shots 2:1. Toronto (0-3-1) v New York Rangers (4-1-0)The Rangers are just a team that looks unstoppable right now. It’s hard to go against them, but this is another game that I feel the underdog has the advantage. The Rangers played an overtime and shootout last night against the Anaheim Ducks, a very physical team.Now they walk into Francis Beauchemin, Mike Komisarek, Garnet Exelby, Tomas Kaberle, Like Schenn, Mike Van Ryn and more. I think the game last night and the extreme physical play from Toronto will slow the Rangers down. New Jersey (2-2-0) v Washington (2-2-1)Ovechkin, Semin, Backstrom. Never bet against the best player in the league (sorry to all your Crosby/Malkin lovers, he is just better Period). Pittsburgh (4-1-0) v Ottawa (3-1-0)Very tough call Pittsburgh has been getting wins, so has Ottawa. Ottawa hasn’t looked like a team that is very fluid in their style of play, and Pittsburgh looks like they’ve drank about 14 bottles of whiskey before each game Both teams have my confidence.

I’ll throw this to Pittsburgh, only because they have that big Stanley-whatsit-called. Florida (1-3-0) v Tampa Bay (1-1-2)It seems every year I’m a sucker for the Lightning. They have more talent collectively then the entire western conference Lecavalier, St. Louis, Stamkos, Hedman, Ohlund, and whatever else it just makes you scratch your head and wonder how this bunch isn’t producing numbers that are similar to the Rangers ranking.I can’t bet against them, but this is another pick I’m not comfortable with. Tampa Bay in regulation. Edmonton (2-1-1) v Nashville (2-1-0)An overrated Oilers bunch versus a surprising Nashville group. I’ll take Edmonton, but only because I’m Canadian. Calgary (4-1-0) v Chicago (2-1-1)This is where my personal conflict becomes an issue here I love Chicago.

I’m a sucker for them, and I loved them before it was cool to love them. Calgary has tremendous talent and the best defensive units bar none in the entire NHL (even if they’re not playing like it yet).Calgary has my vote here, but I don’t want to watch this game. Phoenix (2-2-0) v San Jose (3-2-0)Heatley get’s another hat trick. 26 /PRNewswire/ Mail Media Corporation todayannounced that it has been awarded as one of the Red Herring Top 100 GlobalCompanies.
