Vote: Stanley Cup playoffs


It's time for the skating to be a half-step quicker, the passes to be a little more precise, the hitting to be a tad bit rougher. The Stanley Cup playoffs begin this week and as always we'll surely see a big first-round upset, Patrick Roy making big saves and the Red Wings looming as a big favorite even though they lost out on the West's top seed to Dallas.
