NHL Semi Finals Predictions

Sixteen teams had a dream at the starting of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. As the Quarterfinals ended yesterday, eight teams had their dreams ended, and the other eight continued the dream.
In the Eastern Conference last round, the #1 seed New York Rangers barely escaped elimination last night as they won their series 4-3 against the #8 seed Ottawa Senators.

The #2 seed and defending Stanley Cup champions, the Boston Bruins, were a favorite by many to repeat as the Champions. That dream ended in 4-3 series defeat by the #7 seed Washington Capitals, who were said to be very inconsistent headed into the playoffs. #3 seed Florida Panthers battled hard against the #6 seed New Jersey Devils, who won the series 4-3 last night in a double overtime thriller.

The most talked about series in the NHL this year, #4 Pittsburgh Penguins #5 Philadelphia Flyers, was basically what everyone wanted. Fights, scoring, and hard hits. The Flyers won in 6.

In the Western Conference last round, the Vancouver Canucks, who also won the Presidents Trophy, pretty much shocked everyone in the first round as they were done in a 4-1 series defeat to the #8 seed Los Angles Kings.  The St. Louis Blues won the hearts of alot of people as they made the playoffs as a #2 seed, and had no problem with the #7 seed San Jose Sharks in 5 games.

Despite no owner, being bankrupt, and a possible relocation, the #3 Phoenix Coyotes battled hard with the #6 Chicago Blackhawks. The two teams played five of six games in overtime,and the Yotes won the series 4-2. The #4 Nashville Predators played against the #5 Detroit Red Wings, as the Preds took the series 4-1.
