What is everyones opinion on the matchups, etc this year? I personally think it will be a Pittsburgh/Chicago final, mostly because they are the easy picks......lol
East:
Pittsburgh should walk through NYI in 4....Islanders will be lucky to score....lol
Montreal vs Ottawa.....Ottawa has surprised a lot this year....Montreal will have it in tough to beat them.....Battle of goalies, and Anderson is better.....would love to see Ottawa take these guys out.....I'm guessing it will take 6 or 7 games though.
Washington vs NYR........nobody seems to be able to stop Ovy right now......Wash in 6
Boston vs Toronto........this should be a good series.....not sure how long it will last, but Boston has a physical D, and TO have a bunch of physical forwards....whoever comes out of this one won't be in very good shape going ahead......my heart says TO takes it with Kessel waking up against them.....but my head says Boston in 6 or 7.
West:
Chicago vs Minny......Minn is up 1-0 early in game 1.....but I expect this to be a quick series for Chicago, taking it in 4 or 5.
Anaheim vs Detroit........thinking this could be the one upset of the first round.......Detroit has been playing playoff hockey for a couple weeks now, just trying to get in......they are on a hot streak right now, and still have some dynamic players.....Detroit in 7
Vancouver vs San Jose........both teams are going into the playoffs with one of the worst recent records in the league......I think Van takes it with one of their goalies getting hot. Van in 6
St. Louis vs LA.......should be a good series.....St. Louis in 6
