The 2010 NHL playoffs are shaping up to be some of the best ever. With many upsets occuring particularly in the eastern conference with the 6,7,8 seeds going through. The Montreal Canadiens managed to do seemingly the impossible. Rallying from down 3-1 in the series they managed to beat the number one seed and odds on favourite to win the Stanley Cup. The Washington Capitals. After an inspiring performance by Jaroslav Halak and the defense shutting down Alexander Ovechkin and the rest of the high scoring Capitals the Canadiens are going to have there hands full with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Also surprisingly going through from the east were the Flyers and Bruins. The west on the other hand provided fewer upsets but equal entertainment. The Vancouver Canucks and Chicago blackhawks will reprise their rivalry in one of the most anticipated matchups. Both teams are filled with scoring and firepower. The other matchup will include the San Jose Sharks and Detroit Red Wings arguably the two best teams in the last decade. Hopefully these playoffs prove to live up to hype and provide some good mathchups.
