my assessment of the playoffs so far (played since i was 3, fan for 30 years):
ovi is the greatest single player in the world. hands down. this past series, specifically the last 2 games, his play could be described as motionless. without the puck, he did nothing. if i had to choose between ovi and sidney, sidney is the greatest team player right now. he elevates his team and i hate him dearly, being a flyers fan.
habs look solid. b's look solid. flyers, unfortunately, got the injury bug but that isnt an excuse. it happens to every team. pens are solid. eastern conference will probably go to the pens but the habs could be a spoiler. i think the b's probably beat the flyers.
western conference: who knows.
the playoffs have been awesome this year. love playoff time.
