If Washington gets the goaltending needed to make this competitive, don't expect this to be a cakewalk for the Bruins by any means. I still think Boston will be able to pull it out in 6 games, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this go 7 and would consider this a dark horse upset candidate.

I agree with you on this one , the Caps are no pushover , they are playing at a playoff pace to get into the post season .
The Bruins should win going away but I dont see them taking this in less that 7 games ..

Bruins in 3...the Caps shouldn't even be in the playoffs.

Damn I'm one of three who voted the caps

of course a misclick...Bruins in 5...I can't see the Caps beat them with their 3rd string goalie

[Jack Schitt]

Bruins in 4

This I think is the easiest of the East picks. The Caps have Holtby and Sabourin as their goalies.

Bruins in 5. I'd be shocked if the Caps force it to over 5.

Bruins in 5...maybe 6 if Ovaries decides to show up and play

[camx]

Going with the upset Caps in 6

Bruins in 7. i see a hard fought series here and a wake up call for the Bruins.

[HordiBrusk29]

Bruins in 5. If it takes any longer than that Boston should be very concerned as they are a far superior team.

[ScottRasner]

B's in 5. Could be 4 and out for Florida.

I think (and hope!) that the Caps know how to play against the Bruins. This is the match-up that I didn't want to see because I like the Bruins so much. I admit that I have two Bruins jerseys. But that being said I gotta go with my Caps for the biggest upset in the playoffs. It will take 7 games but we'll win.

GO CAPS !

[Stevens Lindros]

I think the Craps take out the Ruins in 7 games.

Thomas vs. Obama

I see this one being a challenge. Maybe Ovechkin goes nuts this playoffs? I think the Bruins will take the series but I don't think it will be that easy.

It pains me to say it but the Bruins will win this series. Surprised the Caps took the season series. I also agree with the other member, I don't think the Bruins will win it all this year.

I can see no way the Caps could win more than 1 or 2 games
