Time flies! NHL Playoffs begin Wednesday night. Can the Boston Bruins become the first team to win back to back Stanley Cups since Detroit pulled it off in 1997-98?

Defending champion Boston had an up and down season on their way to winning the Northeast. NHL's top point getters Vancouver (111) hopes to take home the Cup after losing to Boston last season. Never count out New Jersey Devils - winners of six games in a row to close out the regular season.
