In theory Washington should have little to no problem in the East with the way they played this season, this should be the year Ovechkin finally advances past round 2, but with their past performances it wouldn't surprise me if they experience another early exit.
The Capitals won the President's Trophy by winning games early in the season. They slowed down at the end of the season.
The Capitals-Flyers series should be very entertaining. Both teams chose to bring out shenanigans while playing hockey toward the end of the season. Shenanigans will not get you to the Stanley Cup.
Rangers in 7 over the Penguins. Is Fleury going to play for Pitt?? If he does, will their be a goalie controversy?? Rangers finished the season bad, while the Pens finished really hot, but can never count out Hank in the playoffs, Lightning series last year not withstanding.
Fleury is back at full strength, and he will be playing Wednesday. The quicker Murray returns, the better the Penguins will be in goal. Maatta and Malkin are doing very well, and may be ready to play Wednesday also.
I think the Penguins have solved the Rangers, and will advance to the second round.

I guess early in the season means the first three-fourths of it. I remember when the Wings did that every year, or so it seemed. I think they can go all the way, but I don't have any idea if they will. The Flyers will get them into playoff mode, so we'll see.
I'll pick
Caps over Flyers in 6
Wings over Bolts in 6
Pens over Rangers in 6
Panthers over Isles in 7
Ducks over Preds in 7
Blues over Hawks in 7
Sharks over Kings in 6
Stars over the Wild in 5

Eh... I see Hawks taking it again... They're a full-blown dynasty at the moment, and the addition of Panarin further solidifies their legitimacy.
