Anaheim vs Minnesota
Vancouver vs Dallas
Nashville vs
San Jose
There's alot of talent in the West its hard to call, but I think Detroit will fall apart as usual, Dallas has a good team but will suffer from Turco-itis again as usual. Im going with the Sharks in the West and the Devils in the East, Brodeur will lead them all the way. And as good as Buffalo is, I think the playoffs and the big season will eventually wear them down, plus their defence is a bit soft and Brodeur is just too good. The other teams in the East just arent good enough to make it imo.
West Final: San Jose vs. Anaheim
East Final: Buffalo vs. New Jersey
Cup Final: New Jersey vs. San Jose
Winner: Devils in 6 games.
Total guesses, the west is tough Im probably way off..we'll see.
The West is very hard to call, and I agree with the TSN guy (i forget who) that said today that no upset in the West would really come as a surprise.
1st round...in the East I'll go with Buffalo, New Jersey, NY Rangers, and Ottawa. In the West I'll say Detroit, Anaheim, Vancouver, San Jose.
1st round winners
Buffalo
NJ
Pittsburgh
Rangers
East Final
Buffalo over Pittsburgh
forget trying to figure out the west.
East:
(1) Buffalo in 4
(2) New Jersey in 6
(6) NY Rangers in 6
(5) Pittsburgh in 7
West:
(1) Detroit in 6
(2) Anaheim in 5
(6) Dallas in 7
(5) San Jose in 5
... and, if I'm right....
(1) BUF over NYR in 6
(5) PIT over NJD in 6
(6) DAL over DET in 5
(2) ANA over SJS in 7
...then...
(1) BUF over PIT in 5
(5) ANA over DAL in 5
and finally
(1) BUF over ANA in 7
and that's my call right to the wire. Ottawa's my wildcard.... they might beat pittsburgh, but they won't beat new jersey.
WEST
Detroit in Six
Minnesota in Five
'Nucks in Six
San Jose in Seven
EAST
Buffalo in four
Jersey in five
Atlanta in seven
Ottawa in Six
