Which one would I rather face
Boston-Play a tight defensive game and can lull you to sleep and win low scoring games but also quite capable of putting up some goals.Tim Thomas has had a career yr but can he lead them into the promised land.No stand out star like Ovechkin but some really good depth(savard,kessel,ryder,krecji,kobasew,wheeler,axelson and so on) and a tough D with the moster zdeno chara.I think this would be a real physical and grinding series.We have played some good games in Boston also.
Washington-they will get their goals and Ovechkin will get his.Marc Staal will get the tough job of trying to contain him.Backstrom and Semin are also damn good and Brooks Laich adds some scoring.Also Sergie Federov can still score some big goals.Mike Green is downright scary on the PP point and can flat out shoot the puck.Their biggest question marks our D and goaltending,can Jose Thedore regain his old form and lead them after a shakey regular season.One thing that worries me more than any other,we've had no luck whatsoever beating the caps in washington and with the white out effect and loud atmospehere in the playoffs it'll be even tougher.
All in all I'd almost rather face Boston.

I agree with you. I would rather face Boston as well. Every game played against them was a one goal game, and if we can find a way to break through their defense and score 3-4 goals a game, we could win this series woithout a doubt.
we will have to beat both the Caps and B's to get to the conference finals, anyway, because Montreal is going to get wrecked by Boston
