Eric Duhatschek did a Q & A with Globe and Mail readers yesterday and is suggested reading for all…
Brier Bear from Canada writes: There’s usually an upset in the first round. Do you see any of underdogs this year making it to the second round? Boston over Montreal perhaps?
Eric Duhatschek: I don’t see Boston over Montreal; when it comes to underdogs, I’m picking the six seeds over the threes in both conferences. In fact, I really like Colorado as my sleeper team in the West. Minnesota is going to have to play without Nick Schultz, one half of their shutdown defence pair, after he underwent an emergency appendectomy Monday....
In the East, I see the Capitals a little like the Penguins of last season, a team that made great regular-season strides, and were captivated fans around the league that probably couldn’t have named five players on their roster two months ago. The problem, when you go on a run like that is that sooner or later, you need to exhale — you go flat, you go a little stale.
