Western Conference.
Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche
I'm writing this after Detroit already won the first game. This is like a rematch from 2000, with the oldies included. The Avs came back to make it a close game losing 4-3, this is with Forsberg not in the lineup, but I don't see how a team built for 2000 can beat a young Red Wings team. Sakic can only take the team so far, and if Forsberg isn't 100% then the Avs won't beat the Wings. Unless if Theodore plays his heart out, or Detroit changes their name to Canucks, Colorado will lose.
Red Wings 4-2, neither team needs another cup.
San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars
I've seen what Turco can do, this man is not a playoff choker. I don't like him but he's a good goalie. Unless Thornton can pick it up, or Sharks' 2nd line keeps producing like it did against Calgary, Stars will win.
Stars 4-2, I think I hate all of the Western playoff teams.
Eastern Conference
Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers
The Canadiens can light the lamp with the best of them, for the Flyers to win they need to have Briere score. Maybe if the Flyers were on the powerplay for the whole game they might be able to put up as much points, but I doubt it.
Canadiens 4-1, Montrealer's continue to riot.
Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers
Man do I hate the Rangers. If I had the Delorean I'd go back in time and I'd tell Bure not to deke and just shoot in that penalty shot. I'm not a Crosby supporter, but I hope Pittsburgh scores 10 goals every game. Probably not gonna happen since it's Lundqvist, but the Rangers won't score as much as the Pens.
Penguins 4-1, Avery will try to pull something stupid and Laraque will lay him out. That or Brodeur will come out of nowhere and blind side Avery.
