| well...i think it will be the Avs vs. Detroit in the west and new jersey vs. toronto in the conference finals...with the avs beating detroit because the wings are too old and will tire out. in the east i think it will be toronto over coming jersey in 7 games...actually, i think they both conferences will go 6 or 7 games. then, in the finals, peter forsberg makes his return to the avs and they beat the leafs in 6...but, i am a little biased here....hahaha....but seriously, i think there might be some upsets in the west with chicago possibly going to the finals |

| Maybe I'm biased, but you've all seem to have forgotten the Flyers. No team in the East can beat them in a seven game series, and the Wings are a very, very old. If Philly's power play picks up, they dominate the playoffs.:conf: |

| j.p.l.s. |
| what about Toronto Maple Leafs? They'll reach the play-offs? I hope so! |

| I hope the Leafs can pull it off without Cujo. They really need to pick up a decent goalie (maybe Trevor Kidd or Jeff Hackett??) but I'm going to say Detroit (even though I hate Brett Hull) will take the whole thing. |

| Colorado/Detroit in the West, NJ/Philly for the East with the finals being Colorad/Philly and COLORADO WINNING IT ALL AGAIN, BABY!!! Roy is the greatest and he'll prove it again. I hope the Maple Leafs don't even make it into the playoffs :p :p :p |

isn't milan hejduk going to miss the rest of the season?
if so, the avs are going to have a very very rough time in the playoffs |
|

the loss of hejduk might not be too bad...a lot of people have been saying he hasn't had that great of a year...but, i haven't looked at his stats or anything to compare them...still though, he's pretty ing sweet....
also, the playoff picture keeps changing and there's about 1.5 months left to play so i think its kinda early to really get a good idea of who will even make it in to the playoffs |

| Well Hejduk is hurt and most likely will miss the playoffs but Forsberg should be back for Round 3! |

I like the way everyone thinks.
Here's my prediction...
For the east, the teams suffering with injuries won't make it past the second round. That's CUJO for the Leafs and Roenick for the Flyers. Look for the Bruins to go to the conference finals against the improved Devils. Because of playoff experience, the Devils will once again go to the finals.
Taking a look at the western conference the Red Wings look like a monopoly to me. However, if the Avs can get Hejduk and Forsberg back in time, we will witness a classic western conference showdown; Hasek vs. Roy. Boy, I can't wait to see that. Red Wings over Avs in 7.
Look for the Red Wings to win it all. Too many experienced players.
But don't count out one of the many cinderella teams out there. It could be the Canucks, Sharks, Coyotes, Oilers, Blues, Blackhawks, Senators, Canadiens, or Kings.
As a loyal Kings fan, I would like to see them win. They came close last year. I just don't want to see the Wings, Avs, Devils, or Stars win the cup. Enough is enough. Time for a new champion, I hope. :toothless |

Damn, St. Louis sucks. Oh well.
If I were Detroit, I would for sure NOT want to play Vancouver in round 1.
Enough beating around the bush.
The Oilers will bring home the cup:D :D |

| you know its been so hard to say recently. phillys been playing like crap, bostons been hot, and what if forsberg can come back. that sure gives colorado some depth down the middle. not only that look at how well some of the lower seeds have been playing, like montreal |
|

Wow,
5 pts seperating 2nd and 7th in the East and 4 pts seperating 4th and 8th in the West.
Dare I say that the NHL is the most competitive elite league in North America? |
