The Official NHL Playoffs Thread

[GambleGamble]

1 Buffalo vs 8 New York Islanders

Buffalo in 6
Nolan will find a way to steal a couple, and I am the standard pessimistic Buffalo fan, who only pictures what could go wrong...Buffalo needs to crush there hopes in game 1 as quickly as possible like a nice 4-1 win!

2 New Jersey vs 7 Tampa Bay

New Jersey in 7
Every game will be close

3 Atlanta vs 6 New York Rangers

Rangers in 7
Expect a wild series in this one, with a blowout or 2 and some OTs in there

4 Ottawa vs 5 Pittsburgh

Ottawa in 6
Crosby can prove he has what it takes in the playoffs, but Pitt just too weak everywhere else (Def, Goal)

WEST

1 Detroit vs 8 Calgary

Detroit in 6
Mika gets hot hot its different story, Detroit is due to break out of its playoff funks

2 Anaheim vs 7 Minnesota

Anaheim 7
Probably one of the best series to watch, Minny is WAY better than the 7 seed

3 Vancouver vs 6 Dallas

Vancouver 5
Luongo vs Turco....need more be said

4 Nashville vs 5 San Jose
San Jose 6
Unless Nashvile has just been coasting along knowing they were in, San Jose should walk away with this one. Nashville is the best option as the team who makes a goalie change and gets hot though
