Now that we've all taken a breather after a remarkable round one, round two for the Ducks starts up tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. Tonight's game, as well as Sunday's, will be away at the Joe Louis Arena... hence the odd start times of 4pm and 11am PST, respectively. But after that, our boys come back home for games three and four.
Yours truly will be attending at least one of those games. Heck, it's playoff hockey. You wait all year for this!
The other matchups for round two also look to be entertaining. I'm particularly talking about ex-Duck Chris Kunitz and his Pittsburg Pens against the Washington Capitals. Or, as the media has already dubbed it, "Sid the Kid vs. Alex the Great."
I'll be watching the Pens games as well as our hometown heroes. As far as any predictions go, here are my completely uneducated, fan-biased, just-for-the-helluvit picks:
- Ducks vs. Red Wings: Ducks (of course) in 7, 35 total goals
- Canucks vs. Blackhawks: Canucks in 6, 30 total goals
- Bruins vs. Hurricanes: Bruins in 5, 25 total goals
- Penguins vs. Capitals: Pens in 6, 30 total goals
Now I'm off to go cheer for our Ducks. Go Ducks!!
In praise of Bobby Ryan
"The biggest thing is just his poise and his hands are unbelievable. I played with [Evgeni] Malkin and [Sidney] Crosby, and those guys are probably the two best in the league. Bobby's hands are right with those guys... He's a superstar in the making, it seems."
