Debbie is a tarot card reader who appears at the Gas Light in Ridley Park, Pa. She agreed to assist us in predicting this year's Stanley Cup playoffs with her abilities. She claims not to have knowledge of the current state of the NHL; she asked for logos, team names and specific questions about the postseason.

As for the first round, here's what she was able to predict:

Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens? - Canadiens

Washington Capitals and New York Rangers? - Rangers

New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes? - Devils

Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers?- Flyers

San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks? - Sharks

Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets? - Red Wings

Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues?- Blues

Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary Flames? - Flames

As for the Stanley Cup champion ... well, things got a little more mysterious.

From Debbie, via email:

"I was drawn to four teams, the color red was significant and the team has (or had) a royal history in the sport (I saw the crown as a symbol). The winning team is very confident and can't wait to gloat when they do win.

I don't know what this means but I also saw the possibility of two home arenas for the winning teams, for example -- a new one being built or the close proximity to each other.

Lastly, I saw an angel watching over this team, someone significant to this team has crossed over.

The four teams I was drawn to are:

New Jersey Devils (Stanley Cup winner)

New York Rangers

Detroit Red Wings

Montreal Canadiens"


Now, here's the thing: Some of her inklings seem to point to teams outside of her four.

"Someone significant to this team has crossed over" ... in no way making light of this tragedy, the loss of Taylor Pyatt's fiancée would fit this description for the Vancouver Canucks. Then again, the Columbus Blue Jackets have also dedicated their season to founding owner John H. McConnell, who died a year ago this month.

"The possibility of two home arenas for the winning teams" ... say, aren't the Pittsburgh Penguins getting a new barn soon?

The accuracy and validity of this stuff is in the eye of the beholder. But it all sort of creeps us out. Please note that we're not dragging out the Ouija board for Exotic Wagers, either. If only because we fear a furious Bill Wirtz will cross over and attempt to black out the Chicago playoff games.

Pittsburgh looked good last night........hopefully they make ME look good since I picked them to come out of the East

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

the Penguins are going to the finals without a doubt... they made the Flyers look like a peewee squad last night.

 

[gingersaintbad]

the ECF finals maybe, but that's where it stops.

The NHL handed Philadelphia Flyers tough guy Daniel Carcillo a one-game suspension for his role in an incident in the waning moments of Game 1 of the Flyers first round playoff series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Thats me!... nah jk... thats probably just some guy who isn't a big hockey fan and thats the only jersey he had.

 

[j1goku]

i'd hope so, i can understand rocking another teams jersey to a game, ive done it before but to be up and cheering and for a rival no less

lets go CBJ, we know what happend the last couple times the red wings were a number 2 seed

 

[newbs24]

The journey for a repeat starts tonite. So pumped. they better end it early in the game because I have to bounce around the start of the 3rd period. Defenseneeds to amp it up. Liddy seems to have slept walked through the regular season so he should be prime to dominate. Hossa better go off and Dats/Hank should besolid as ever. Lets get it Wings.

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

I have a feeling Hossa is gonna go nuts this series

2 goals, 3 assists tonight... watch

This guy was on the smoking deck and was being verbally abused. He had 100+ ppl all at the same time chanting a-hole at the same time.

Marty Havlat tied it up...

Big win Bruins..

Chara's bomb was nice. Kovalev's goal topshelf was

.

Lapierre hit on Krejci was so unnecessary. Only gonna lead to more bad blood in Game 2.
