Detroit vs Nashville
As much as I don't like Nashville for taking our playoff spot, I like Barry Trotz he looks like a no nonsense kind of guy and he's been the only coach for the Preds since their expansion, that says a lot about the guy. The Red Wings are definitely a great team, but I wouldn't say they're the best though. For some reason it seems like all Western cinderella stories begin by beating the Red Wings first round. But I still say Detroit wins.
4-2 Red Wings. Nashville takes 2 because they're more physical.
San Jose vs Calgary
Looking at all the match-ups here in the Western Conference I realize that I hate a lot of these teams. Maybe I'm bitter, or maybe it's cause these teams all don't deserve to be ahead of the Canucks. I'm going to go with the later. I would really like a Canadian team to win the cup even if it's not the Canucks; however, Keenan is coaching the Flames, so I hope they lose. I just can't bring myself to cheer for any team coached by Keenan.

4-3 Sharks. Calgary will put up a good fight, but they're too inconsistent.
Minnesota vs Colorado
Just kill each other, I hate you both.
4-3 Avalanche. End it in a bloodbath.
Anaheim vs Dallas
I don't like the move that the Ducks pulled, sitting out their superstars for half the season. Then passing it off like they really needed that time to decide if they're still able to play. Blah, bunch of garbage, brilliant move to fit everyone under the cap, but disgusting move in class. Still the Ducks will probably beat the Stars, even if they're down 1-0 right now. Can't beat the Finnish Flash.
Teemu says: "Hey baby."
4-3 Ducks. Low scoring Ducks vs Turco will push this to 7 games.
