I've been following hockey less than ever this year. I just needed a mental break from the insanity that is millionaires playing other millionaires for millions of dollars while people like me sweat over a few thousand dollars required for "real life".
But that doesn't mean I'm any less qualified for making predictions based on nothing at all! Oh no, it means I'm even more qualified to make Unqualified Predictions! I feel like a government employee.
Anywhoo, on with the prognostications.
East:
Buffalo (1) vs. NYI (8) - New York squeaked into the post season over Montreal and Toronto which makes them my Second Favourite Team today. But the Sabres will eat them alive. Buffalo in 4.
New Jersey (2) vs. Tampa Bay (7) - New Jersey fired their coach last week and is being led by the GM. I may have worked previously but I've got a bad feeling about this. Tampa in 6.
Atlanta (3) vs. NYR (6) - Toss up, I say Rangers in 7.
Ottawa (4) vs. Pittsburgh (5) - Ottawa has the playoff experience and if Ray Emery or Martin Gerber can be solid in nets, I give them the advantage over the young Pens. Sens in 5.
West:
Detroit (1) vs. Calgary (8) - Red Wings will be out for blood, I pick them over the Flames in 6.
Anaheim (2) vs. Minnesota (7) - For some reason the Wild call to me, I'm going with them in 7.
Vancouver (3) vs. Dallas (6) - Crystal ball says Canucks sweep the Stars in four straight.
Nashville (4) vs. San Jose (5) - Too close to call, so I'll give it to Nashville in 6.
