Playoffs First Round... Series Winners Who you like?

WASH

NJ  (they went 1-5 vs the Flys this season)

BOS

PIT  (Pens fan BUT I think we're in for a pranging)

SJ  (don't forget, it's the "Chokersharks)

CHI

LA  (1-3 vs the Canucks in season BUT did beat them 8-3 their last)

DET

Wash will advance

Philly will take out the Devils even with Boucher in nets. Brodeur not the same goaltender he once was and the Flyers simply have too much depth for NJ to handle.

Sabres/Bruins tossup

Pttsburgh will advance

SJ will advance

Chicago will advance

Canucks will advance

Phoenix/Detroit tossup

I agree. That's why I like Nashville to upset to Chicago. If the Predators can score some goals, they have a good chance to advance.

First round upset:Ottawa to upset pittsburgh, even without kovalev in the line-up. Pitt are missing key components to last years team and although crosby is awesome, he can't carry the weight of this years team throughout the playoffs.

You're all crazy if you think Nashville can hang with chicago's high powered offence. Even with pekka, and a solid d, they won't be able to score enough goals to keep it competitive. They might win game 3 but I wouldn't bet on it.

Colorado will upset San Jose. Like we all know, the sharks seem to go into hibernation mode when april arrives.Heatley is a box and will be easy to shut down. Thornton will go back to sleep as usual. He knows the Sharks season always ends in April despite how they play all year. PatrickM can't shoulder the weight of everybody, so who'll pick up the slack?

What, nobody thinks Phoenix can beat Detroit? Phoenix has top notch goaltending and the offensive skills to put the puck in Detroit's net. Detroit is not the team it once was and besides they're getting old.

Philly, L.A. and Montreal, no chance at all!

The only difficult one to put money on in the first round is Buff/Bos. It really depends on who shows up on what night, and I'm not willing to bet on that! 

hmmm sharks usually lose in the 2nd round but thanks for trying

i agree with your hawks statement though
