Stanley Cup Playoffs (Round 1)

The best playoffs in all of professional sports starts Wednesday. Hope you are ready.

All right. The turnaround on these games is really quick, and I'm assuming that several of you will have to do some research but here it is anyway. The NHL playoffs start this Wednesday. The pairings are official as of last night. Here is what I want from each of you. Tell me who will win each of the eight first round series AND the series outcome. (Example answer: Sharks over Ducks 4 games to 2 games).

I also want to know who will win the Eastern Conference, who will win the Western Conference, who will win the Stanley Cup (Example answer: Maple Leafs over Islanders).

Finally who will win the Conn Smythe Trophy (Playoff MVP).

Deadline - Several of these series start on Wednesday Night (April 13th)
