Playoffs And More Playoffs

If you like playoffs of any kind, this has to be your favorite time of year. You have the NBA and the NHL Playoffs going on at the same time. Most are pretty tightly contested series in both sports, but I am probably paying more attention to the NHL. There are not too many huge upsets in a seven game series in the NBA, but in the NHL, just about anything can happen. The St.Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks (the #2 seed vs. the #3 seed) have had an unbelievable series in which 4 of the 5 games have gone into Overtime. The Montreal Canadiens swept their series over the Tampa Bay Lightning and I think it would be good for the NHL to see Montreal go far in the playoffs. I am a Philadelphia Flyers fan but goaltending has always been their achilles heel and with Mason coming off an injury at the end of the season, I don't know if he can carry them to the Stanley Cup or not.
