Hey, I like hockey too, but we still have a few more weeks until the end of the season. Then, I promise you, I will start an NHL playoffs thread.

And I keep the promise.

The playoffs start later this week. And it's a surprising lineup this year.

Phoenix? Chicago? Boston? Vancouver? Montreal?

Yep, this was a rather bizarre NHL season. The 4-8 seeds in the West were separated by 4 points. Iginla led the NHL in scoring...with only 96 points. The Flyers fell apart towards the end of the season, yet still won the Atlantic Division.

So, the first question I will pose is this: Can anyone knock off Detroit?

I'll post my picks tomorrow.
