What are u predictions and what is or going to be the best match up in the first round.
I think the Leafs and Flyers might be good so will be like every time they meet Stars and Oilers, and the rest will be good too I bet. I hope the Ducks pull an upset, somehow on the Wings.
Go Leafs Go. |

Wheeeeee!!!! My favourite time of the year. :D:D:D:D:D
1st round predictions:
West
Dal vs. Edm: Edm in 7 - Always a classic matchup. Gotta cheer for my Oilers.
Det vs. Anh: Det in 5 - Detroit is just too good. They'll go deep.
Col vs. Min: Col in 6 - Colorado is just plain scary if Roy can step up.
Van vs. StL: Van in 6 - Vancouver should establish themselves.
East
Ott vs. NYI: Ott in 4 - Yashin vs. his old team... no chance.
NJ vs. Bos: NJ in 4 - Boston will be outclassed.
TB vs. Was: TB in 6 - Khabibulin will be the difference.
Tor vs. Phi: Phi in 6 - It comes down to coaching Hitch> Quinn
Overall, I'd expect Ottawa and Colorado to make the final four for sure along with probably Detroit and Philly.
Whatever happens, it will be an awesome couple months just like every year. Hockey has the best playoffs, hands down. :D |

Ahhh tis playoff time again!!! Here are my predictions!
Western Conference:
(1)Dallas Stars Vs. (8)Edmonton Oilers: Edmonton in 7
Hey, I live here and I hate Dallas and E-town is feeling that vibe again, Isbister and Dvorak gotta have a huge series and Salo has to prove himself finally.
(2)Detroit Red Wings Vs. (7)Anaheim Mighty Ducks: Detroit in 4
Way too overmatched for Kariya's good, good starting series for CuJo to get used to Detroit's playoff system.
(3)Colorado Avalanche Vs. (6)Minnesota Wild: COLORADO in 5
I give them Game 3 solely on the crowd that will greet my Avs, Sakic will step up as usual.
(4)Vancouver Canucks Vs. (5)St. Louis Blues: Vancouver in 7
One of the best matchups in R1, goaltending will be a serious factor, I think Tkachuk will disappear again so the edge goes to Naslund.
Eastern Conference:
(1)Ottawa Senators Vs. (8)New York Islanders: Ottawa in 6
NYI is just too on and off, Sens should get through this round at least.
(2)New Jersey Devils Vs. (7)Boston Bruins: New Jersey in 6
This could quickly be done in 5 if NJ gets some scoring going early, Hackett will have to come up huge to take 2 games.
(3)Tampa Bay Lightning Vs. (6)Washington Capitals: Washington in 7
Best East matchup by far, never thought I'd be predicting between these 2 in the playoffs, very contingent on Jagr if he plays like he can, but I think Caps have too much with Jagr and Bondra compared to just Lecavalier.
(4)Philadelphia Flyers Vs. (5)Toronto Maple Leafs: Philadelphia in 6
I would pick Philly in 4 solely because THE MAPLE LEAFS SUCK!!! I think cokehead Belfour will fall flat on his face, if Philly can get scoring early from JL and Amonte et. al, this could be done in 5, Sundin being hurt and the Leafs being the Leafs doesn't help Toronto at all.
Overall pick: Colorado Avalanche Vs. New Jersey Devils - Colorado in 7... AGAIN!!! |

I forgot to post my predictions
East
Tor vs. Phi. Toronto in 5.
Ott vs. NYI. Ottawa in 6, tho I really wish the best for the NYI
NJ vs. Bos: New Jersey who do u think, the best would be in 4 but that might be really hard to do it
TB vs. Was. Washington in 7, tho Kolzig has to step it up, like in the 98 or 97 was it.
West
Dal vs. Edm. Dallas in 4, best goalie in the league ppl
Det vs. Anh: Detroit in 5.
Col vs. Min: Colorado in 6.
Van vs. StL: St Louis in 6. |

I'm Late!!! Oh well, I'll make my picks in the second round.
Some solid goaltending from J.S. Giguere and Martin Brodeur, great physical games between Toronto/Philly and Edmonton/Dallas, and last but not least THE PHENOMONAL ATMOSPHERE surrounding the NHL playoffs. Great to share this with other hockey fanatics, especially the ones from Tranceaddict.;) |

| Whoever thinks Phili will defeat Toronto needs to be shot, then shot again, then again just for good measure. Phili should stick to making cheese. |
