Sunday Update

After last nights games, things are much clearer. The Hurricanes are out after a 3-1 win by the Capitals over Florida. The Canadiens won their game by the same score, giving them temporary hold of the #1 overall spot. No matter what happens, they're playing the Bruins.

What this means for the Penguins:

A win today and they're #1 overall. They will face the Flyers in the first round. A loss today and they have #2 locked up, and face the Ottawa Senators.

What the rest of the playoffs look like:

A Pens win today means the Capitals at #3 will play the Senators. A Pens loss means the Caps get the Flyers.

The Rangers and Devils are playing each other no matter what, with the Devils getting home ice as the #4 seed.

The 1/8 match up could be:

Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia
or
Montreal vs. Boston

the 2/7 match up could be:

Montreal vs. Boston
or
Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa

the 3/6 match up could be:

Washington vs. Ottawa
or
Washington vs. Philadelphia

and the 4/5 match up is:

New Jersey vs. New York Rangers

It all depends on today's games and quite honestly... I'd rather see the Senators. It'd be easier, and there's the whole revenge factor. I wont complain either way.

Let's go Pens!
