Detroit vs Nashville - Nashville is a really good team, but Detroit's really been better IMO in the 2nd half of the season. Leagace is really good for having a lot of pressure on him. But I'm going w/ Nashville on this bill, mainly because Detroit's playing is still kinda weak compared to what they've showed before. [P.S.: I got a feeling this might end up like the Detroit/S. Carolina matches for the cup]

Vancouver vs Calgary - Both teams = *splat*. Calgary is pretty weak, Vancouver is kinda weak. But, I'm following Matt on this one. Sweep for the V.

San Jose vs St. Louis - I saw S.J.'s last match before the seeding took place, and they really impressed me. S.L. does have some decent players, and a good goalie. I'm goin w/ S.J. on this.
***San Jose in 7***

Dallas vs Colorado - Colorado w/o Roy = crappy. Matt's also correct on this one to, where is Karyia, Selenne, and all those Aneheim players they got. As for Dallas, I'm putting my 1 cent on them, mainly because I got family from there, and I, for some reason, also think they can win (maybe from pulling off a few cheats, but all well).

Toronto vs Ottawa - Toronto is one of my favorite teams. Pretty good/solid play style this year. But I think the Senators will over-rule the Leafs.
***Ottawa in 4***

Tampa Bay vs New York Islanders - Tampa all the way. NYI are down in a hole IMO. But, I gotta hand it to them. They made it this far, but I think it'll be an easy one for Tampa.
***Tampa Bay in 4***

Montreal vs. Boston - Boston is more offensive and a lil' more defensive now. They are proving themselves, and that's always excellent. But, the big M will probably take it to the top.
***Montreal in 6***

New Jersey vs Philly - Philly....good city, bad team. I think the Flyers won't be flying away with the win this time. I think when we faced them for the cup 6 years ago, and lost, that that's when they really didn't try much.
