2012 NHL Conference Finals Preview

This years NHL Playoffs have proven to be a shocker to many. And it was still showing last round. Eight teams last round still had a dream of having their name engraved into the Stanley Cup.
In the Eastern Conference the #1 seed New York Rangers took on the #7 seed Washington Capitals. In a series that lasted seven games, including a game that went into three overtimes, the Rangers came through as the victors in a 4-3 series win. The #5 seed Philadelphia Flyers battled with the #6 seed New Jersey Devils as the other Eastern Conference Semi Finals game. A series in which people thought would be seven games came down to a series were the Devils were the better team in a 4-1 series win.
In the Western Conference, a Stanley Cup favorites, the #2 St. Louis Blues, vied with a #8 seed, the Los Angles Kings. The Kings came out fast, and that proved to be a huge factor in this series. The #8 Kings kept cruising in this years playoffs, with a sweep of the series 4-0. As a person would say, "That was "Quick"." #3 seed Phoenix Coyotes and the #5 seed Nashville Predators were a pair of teams that have possibly two of the best NHL goalies in the league. Unlike in the last series only one game went to overtime, and the Yotes prevailed as the winner with a 4-1 series win.
