I dont know much about the west, but i think i have the winners right. Fwiw, i strongly believe the weakness of schedule helps detroit and nashville a ton, but i think they win the 1st rounds this year.

For East.
Buffalo - i think they walk all over dubie. Sabres will score a lot.

New Jersey. I think Tampas got no chance in this. Tampa gets all its scoring from 3 players. They will be shut down and there goaltending isn't that great

Rangers. Really hot right now. I think they roll against the thrashers

Pittsburg. This one is the toughest. Its close to a wash. I dont listen to that hype of "ottawas a playoff team now". Are they really better then they were last year? The sens are filled with so many players that haven't "stepped" it up in the playoffs. This will be, imo the most exciting series to watch though
