Ya, the playoffs aren’t the same without the Sabres but it is still the best few weeks of hockey in the year. I’m in the ‘usual’ hockey pool. My dad made my picks since I couldn’t get down to Niagara. I think he did alright. As usual it depends who wins. My picks:

• Kovalev Mont
• Pleakanic Mont
• Kostitsyn Mont
• Gomez NYR
• Drury NYR
• Shananhan NYR
• Rosival NYR
• Heatley Ott
• Roenick SJ
• Fedorov Wash
• Modano Dal
• Strum Boston

Oh gawd… go um…. Habs!?
