Today marks the start of the 2010 National Hockey League postseason.
You know what that means. Like last year, the Free Press will weigh in with its predictions for the first round of the NHL Playoffs. Each series will include a brief breakdown followed by predictions by three of the Free Press staff myself, assistant editor Allan Wishart and even a non-editorial member, ad designer Rob Dennis. I plan on placing my predictions in Round 2 in a future column.
As for this week, the predictions start with the Western Conference, where the Vancouver Canucks stand to be Canada’s only hope.
