Boston thrash the Leafs 8-0

Great start to the rangers v devils game 3 fights straight from the face off. Then they had to clear the blood off the ice before the game could start, old time hockey is alive & well. Rangers went on to win 4-2

Hawks follow up their win against the Caps with a cruise against Columbus 5-1 again getting out to a quick lead in the 1st period.

Now only 2pts behind the Wings which is a huge achievement after the run off 9 straight losses, hopefully we are now rid of our wobble and heading into the play offs with good form.

Next up the Canucks tonight so will be a good test of our credentials for a good run in the play offs, still need improvement between the pipes though.

News on Toews is that he is back skating again after a set back, so hopefully he will be back soon and raring to go. Nick Leddy possibly injured last night after a hit as didnt return although Quenneville seemed to indicate it was precautionary why he didnt return with the game won.

Apparently both coaches were also 'having words' with each other before the face off aswell.I'd love these two to be matched up in the playoffs,now that would be worth watching

As for the Hawks it looks like they're running into some form at the right time while Nashville and Detroit are struggling.The Red Wings are not the same team without Lidstrom but he's due back from injury soon.

Hawks win 2-1 in O/T against the Nucks in a tough game. Hostilities have been cranked up abit after this game with a few incidents as well as Duncan Keith getting hit with a shoulder to the head by Daniel Sedin then Keith retaliating later in the period with an elbow which saw Sedin leave the game.

Seems to be setting up a war of play off match up should both teams no doubt meet in the play offs.

Hawks now level on pts with Nashville and 1pt behind Detroit who lost to the Rangers in O/T.

Bruins beat the Kings 4-2

Bruins beat the Ducks 3-2

It's the end of the regular season and the playoff matchups are set.

East
NYR/Ottawa
Boston/Washington
Pittsburgh/Philadelphia
Florida/NJD

I'm predicting Rangers,Boston,Pittsburgh and New Jersey to got through to the next round

West

Vancouver/LA
ST Louis/San Jose
Phoenix/Chicago
Nashville/Detroit

Vancouver,Detriot,San Jose and Chicago are my picks to go through in the West.

I'm gonna go with NYR, Philly, Panthers & Boston from the East and Canucks, Blues, Hawks & Nashville for the West.

Some are just too close to call and can go either way.

Lets go Bruins
