Traditionally the President's cup winner has not done all that well in the playoffs. Washington should not be overlooked but I think they also have won (or got a lot of momentum) from the power play. We have been there before and know the refs tend to swallow the whistle more in the playoffs.
I think the playoffs this year will be of a very high quality right from the first round.
I think there will be 2 ever important factors on which team makes it through
- Which goalie stays hot
- Which team stays healthy
I like how the bolts are really peaking, lets hope it not too soon!
The thing that scares me about Washington is while they do benefit greatly from the powerplay the moment you blink 5v5 they're going to run the puck down your throat. If you can play keep away with them and tire them out that would probably be the only way to beat them
