GET OUT YOUR BROOM, IT'S TIME FOR A SWEEP!

Right now, there's a possibility that half of the first round NHL playoff matches could end in sweeps.

The Vancouver Canucks could be the first team to advance into the second round if they finish off the St. Louis Blues tonight.

The Boston Bruins will get a chance to complete their sweep of the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow. It would be a fitting end the Canadiens disappointing centennial year.

The Detroit Red Wings aren't quite in "sweep position" yet as they lead the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 going into tonight's game, but with Detroit being the powerhouse they are, I wouldn't be surprised if Columbus' first trip to the playoffs ends in a sweep.

How embarrassed would the President's Trophy winning San Jose Sharks be if they were not only beaten in the first round but swept! The Anaheim Ducks take their series against their California rivals to Anaheim tonight leading 2-0. I've said before that San Jose's awful playoff record wasn't Ron Wilson's fault.
