Well, truth be told, the Hurricanes have kinda sucked the joy out of the game for me lately*. I have no idea who is in the playoffs and who is good right now. So, looking at the brackets for the first round, I'll just throw some darts and see what team gets picked:
Chicago in 6
Minnesota in 7
Anaheim in 7 +1
San Jose in 7
New York in 6 +2
Ottawa in 6 +2
Washington in 7 +1
Pittsburgh in 6 +1
Ovechkin is one of the top scorers in the first round.
* - I do have to admit that it was fun again when the boys were kicking ass in March, but the air got let out of the room when they lost all those games in a row at the end.
