MICHAEL RUSSO'S PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS
Eastern Conference finals
Pittsburgh over Washington
• Sidney Crosby will be back and render payback for the Winter Classic head shot that concussed him.
Western Conference finals
Vancouver over San Jose
• This is the Canucks' year, and let's be honest, it's never the Sharks' year.
Stanley Cup Finals
Vancouver over Pittsburgh
• I picked the Canucks to win it all, and I'm sticking to it as payback for getting booed off the Fox Sports North set before the Wild's home opener.
