It's NHL Playoff Time

[tedtim]

OK guys, it is decided who is in. Last year's champion is out of the playoffs, as is the finalist. Now, for the guessing:

East
Buffalo vs. NYI = Buffalo
New Jerscy vs. Tampa Bay = New Jersey
Atlanta vs. NYR = NYR
Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh = Ottawa

West
I don't see enough of them for a guess.

Wait, I am guessing about the east too.

Hockey pools start tomorrow.

Detriot and Calgary = Detriot
Anaheim and Minnesota = Anaheim ( But Minnesota is going to give em a scare)
Vancouver and Dallas = The real Marty Turco shows up and Dallas's scoring woes end Dallas
Nashville and San Jose = San Jose

OK, here's my frist round picks:

(1) Detroit vs (8) Calgary Detroit
(2) Anaheim vs (7) Minnesota Anaheim
(3) Vancouver vs (6) Dallas Vancouver
(4) Nashville vs (5) San Jose San Jose

Eastern Conference

(1) Buffalo vs (8) NY Islanders Buffalo
(2) New Jersey vs (7)Tampa Bay New Jersey
(3) Atlanta vs (6) NY Rangers Rangers
(4) Ottawa vs (5) Pittsburgh Pittsburgh

Would love to see Tampa beating NJ, as I'll be in Tampa for 10 days starting on the 20th, and Martin St Louis played for the University of Vermont and brought the Stanley Cup here when he won it last time, but I don't see it happening this year.

Skipping the first round and going right to the Finals, eh?
Ok, I'll bite too......I'll pick San Jose to beat Buffalo in 7, but I'll be honest and say Vancouver, Anaheim, New Jersey or the Rangers could just as easily take their places.
Considering I'm going to be in Tampa in 8 days, I'd love to see them win the first round, but I just don't see them beating NJ.
As ex-Hab Craig Rivet is now a Shark, I'll be rooting for him to hoist the cup this June.
