NHL playoff predictions

Predictions (of course, please respond with your own):

EAST

Ottawa - Tampa Bay: Ottawa in seven

Carolina - Montreal: Montreal in six

Jersey - Rangers: Jersey in six

Buffalo - Philadelphia: Buffalo in five

 

WEST

Detroit - Edmonton: Detroit in five

Dallas - Colorado: Dallas in six

Calgary - Anaheim: Calgary in game seven triple overtime

San Jose - Nashville: San Jose in four

 

That would theoretically set up Ottawa - Montreal, Buffalo - Jersey in the East (cant avoid those devils forever) and Detroit - San Jose, Dallas - Calgary in the West.

I'll be accepting your praise in a coupla weeks.

EAST

 

Buffalo 4 - Flyers 1

New Jersey 3 - Rangers 4

Carolina 2 - Montreal 4

Ottawa 4 - Tampa Bay 2

 

WEST

 

Nashville 2 - San Jose 4

Calgary 4 - Anaheim 3

Dallas 4 - Colorado 3

Detroit 4 - Edmonton 3

 

I actually expect 1 more upset out west, but can't figure out who I think it will be; so I took the easy way out and picked the favorites in 7. If I figure out who will pull the other upset, I'll revise my west picks.

 

I am giving TB respect for being defending champs; I could actually see that series being a sweep for Ottawa, even without Hasek playing. Also, I am assuming Lundquist will be at least 90% for the Rangers; if Weekes comes in, the Rangers go out.

Not gonna predict the West because I've barely watched it this year. Even less so this year because of the unbalanced schedule (which I love, btw).

 

Tampa Bay in 6

Carolina in 6

Rangers in 7

Sabres in 6

 

Sabres over Rangers in 5

Carolina over TB in 7

 

Sabres over Canes in 6

 

Thank you. Thankyouverymuch.

I did fine in the East, nailing Buffalo and Ottawa, and only missing Carolina.

 

The West... well... I'd like to not think about that.

 

3/8 Maybe I should stick with the East.

2nd Round Predictions (because I did SOOOOO well with my 1st rounders)

 

Ottawa 4 - Buffalo 2 (Heart says Buffalo, head says Ottawa.)

Carolina 3 - NJ 4 (Hoping I have this one wrong as well.)

San Jose 4 - Edmonton 2 (If Edmonton is smart enough to play Peca against Marleau, they could prove me wrong. If not, SJ has too much firepower.)

Anaheim 4 - Colorado 3 (This one comes down to goaltending. If Jose comes up big, Avs will prove me wrong again.)

The damn monkey on TSN spun the wheel and took Ottawa, we're doomed, the monkey has been pretty good and picked the cup winner a couple years ago

 

I think I am going to take Buffalo in 4 because I hear they are going to let Heatley drive the team bus back and forth to Buffalo, j/k (I know its bad but its the playoffs)

East:

Buffalo - 7

Carolina - 7

 

West:

San Jose - 6

Colorado - 6

 

I picked the right teams, wrong number of games in the East, and failed miserably yet again in the West.

 

For the next round:

 

East:

Buffalo in 6

 

West:

Edmonton in 7

I think this is a seven game series

 

Game 1 -- Buffalo 2-1

Game 2 - Canes 3-1

Game 3 -- Canes 3-2

Game 4 - Buffalo 2-0

Game 5 - Canes 3-2

Game 6 - Buffalo 4-1

Game 7 - 3-2 in OT ... And the winner is... The next Stanley Cup Champion...
