Habs in 7
Detroit in 7
Rangahs in 4
Islanders in 6
Anaheim in 7
MINNY in 7
PREDSSSS in 7
Vancouver in 5
5 GAME 7's!

2nd round:

HABS vs Det - Habs in 6, Price steals a game or all. Take your pick.
NYR vs NYI - NYR in 5, Same reason, the king steals a game or them all

ANA vs Van - Ana in 6, Both teams have 1 line that does serious damage, just think perry/getzlaf do more.
Nsh vs MIN - Min in 7, this is the year those wild signings years back will pay off, as long as dubbies can stop a puck they going the distance

3rd ROUND!!!!!!!

Habs vs NYR - Well I hate to have the habs go this far in the playoffs, so this is their final stop. Goaltending is close in this series and that's a tall order when price is one of them, but then you do have hank. Rangahhhs are just way to deep in skill I don't see them having trouble until this round but I predict a game 6 3-2 DOUBLE OT W for the boys in blue IN Montreal, GOD I cant wait for that.

ANA vs Min - Playoffs are where goalies come alive, duby had his run, but like all dreams, you fall short. Its hard to grasp how he is doing so good in Minnisoda now but numbers don't lie, and the swagger he has is giving him that much more confidence. BUT the ducks will just quack their way through this series in 5. The soda's just got outmatched in this series and to that buhbye. Game 5 in the pond, BLOW OUT 5-1 ducks moving to the ship.

THE SHIP:

RANGAHS

Anaheim will feel what Ottawa felt like in '07? Iduno but the fawking allstar didn't give a shit. Rangaahs are just TOO stacked and its showing. Hank finally gets his much deserved RING and Alan Vigneault the credit he deserves for what he's done with his teams in VAN/NYR. The guy NEEDS this cup.

Anyways those are my predictions, I went balls deep in them because why not? its the cup!

GO leafs GO! Cant wait to land the real cup, MCDAVID!!!!

Eastern Conference
in 7
Carey Price steals a game, but Ottawa might be too hot to stop right now. I am personally rooting for the Hamburglar to come up huge in this one. This pick might be me rooting for the underdog more than anything.

in 7
Petr Mrazek has been declared the starter and with that the Wings will play tighter in front of him. Zetterberg will have to throw the team on his back, but he has done it before. Plus not having Howard in net to give the game away at the end will be hugely beneficial to the Wings.

in 6
Goaltending will be the difference in this series. Lundy is better than Fleury simple as that. Add in the fact that the Pens backed into the playoffs and you have the makings of the Rangers crushing the Pens.

in 5
If the Isles lock down Ovechkin the Caps will have trouble scoring for an entire series. The Isles are a better "team" and they will pull this one out. Tavares will make this series funny to watch. Holtby has been stunning this season, but the Isles are too good offensively. If Holtby doesn't stand on his head this whole series this one might become embarrassing.


Western Conference
in 5
Dubnyk has carried Minnesota to the playoffs, but against Tarasenko, Backes and Oshie he is going to have a tough time going forward.

in 6
Rinne will be carrying a chip on his shoulder with the season he has had. He will be out to prove that he is one of the best goalies in the league and he will steal a couple games for his team. The name of this game is solid goaltending. But if Chicago takes the first two they will have this one. Kane will be back, and having him with Toews, Hossa, and Vermette (although he is suspected to be a healthy scratch for game 1) and this team looks scary good.

in 7
Is Fredrick Andersen still the goalie of the Ducks? Nonetheless, the kid will crack under pressure and will give this series away.

in 6
Calgary is just a better team. The Canucks has the Sedins, but after that Calgary is better in almost every other way. This will be a hard fault series, but with Eddie Lack in goalie for the foreseeable future, this series belongs to the Flames. I expect Hudler to show out this series. Hudler was one of the best forwards on the Wings the last time he was in the playoffs and he is likely to pick up right where he left off.

 

My prediction

 

East

Montreal in 6

Tampa in 6

Rangers in 6

Islanders in 7

West

St. Louis in 7

Chicago in 6

Anaheim in 5

Vancouver in 6
