The Senators are toast but that doesn't mean the world stops.
The playoffs are here and that means some hardcore hockey watching until the marathon ends in early June.
For the annual playoff predictions, I've brought in fellow Senator blogger Blood Red Army to help with the picks.
There are a lot of ex-Senators out there trying to win the Stanley Cup, such as Marian Hossa in Detroit, Antoine Vermette and Mike Commodore in Columbus, Zdeno Chara in Boston and Wade Redden in New York.
Anyways, enjoy the games. I know I will.

the picks -
Boston 5 (I grew up in montreal worshipping the habs, they are my number 2 team behind the sens, however this edition of the habs is hard like, russians frogs and captain koivu and the enigmas of kovalev and price, they need to get blown out of the playoffs so they can blow up the team)
wash 6 (i like ov and think his schtick is good for the game, i love averys schtick too but the rangers have redden floating around the backend so it is hopeless for them)
nj 6 (fatboy in nets and a surprisingly potent offense this year they will do some damage this year)
Philly 5 (broadway bullies will run the "kids" out of the rink)
Anaheim 7 (San Jose chokes anaheim has big game players)
Columbus 4 (ok not going to happen but would be awesome, tired of the wings and their gaggle of swedes and ridiculous contracts, and all that winning all the time)
Van 7 (1 canadian team needs to advance even if it is the team with the twins and the ogre)
hawks 6 (love the style they play, flames have not been hot injuries abound)
I hope all the canadian teams win and i dont care who wins the cup if its not a canadian team, wait ill amend that if a canadian team doesnt win please dont let it be anaheim san jose carolina or columbus.
