My predictions:
Detroit @ Edmonton...Detroit in 5
Dallas @ Colorado...Dallas in 6
Calgary @ Anaheim...Anaheim in 7
Nashville @ San Jose...San Jose in 6
******
Ottawa @ Tampa Bay...Ottawa in 6
Carolina @ Montreal...Carolina in 7
New Jersey @ NY Rangers...NYR in 7
Buffalo @ Philadelphia...Buffalo in 6
Those are definitely my picks for the West. The only real upset i'm predicting is Anaheim over Calgary.
As for the East though, i really don't know, i think all 8 teams have a shot at moving to the 2nd round. I think TB have a shot at Ottawa, but their goaltending (especially against Alfie, Spezza, Heatley and co) will likely be their undoing. I wouldn't be surprised at all either to see Montreal, NJ, and Philly advance.
