Playoffs, PLAYOFFS, STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS
I like the following teams in the first round

Boston in 5.
Washington in 5.
Carolina in 6.
Philadelphia in 7.

San Jose in 6.
Detroit in 5.
St. Louis in 7.
Chicago in 5.
Sure wish the Thrashers were in it!

I agree with all of your picks for both Conferences, so I’m not going to rehash them all out. But I’m going to go a couple of steps further and predict the Cup Finals…

Boston vs. Detroit with Boston winning in 7.

Tony, I suppose that’s a possibility. Assuming, of course, our first rounder goes the other way.

Pavs will probably get the door, in any case. I can’t see the organization shipping Lehtonen out.

So #1 and #2 picks would seem to be what we’ve all assumed for most of the season: Tavares, then Hedman (Who knows what The Wang will do-but still…). That puts an interesting choice @ #3.

The Avalanche need everything, but most especially the need goaltending. I would’ve put their Defence need higher, but after watching their call-ups basically shut down SanJose Sharks (in the Sharks’ barn no less), I’m thinking they need help in net the most.

Now there are going to be some pretty good UFA goalies out there, but with $30M tied up in just 13 players, I don’t know that Colorado can land one of the “big fish” UFA Goalies….Maybe we could send them Pavelec/Lehtonen and another (top) prospect plus our 3rd-rounder (for Schneider) for the #3 pick?

I doubt it, but I would hope the fellas upstairs give it a shot-I want Duschene and Kane. If I had to pick just one, I’m picking Kane-he’s got loads more sandpaper and most of the guys from the Vancouver Giants seem to transition pretty well to the NHL (Lucic would be the poster boy after this season).

Thrashers will draft 4th overall. Islanders, as expected, have won.

Boston vs Montreal : I have a feeling that would be a short serie and I go with Boston in 5.

Washington vs New York Rangers : Again I see Washington in 5. I doubt Avery would have any impact on this serie but Ovechkin will definitively have an impact on the serie result.

New Jersey vs Caroline : Hurricane in 6. Both team went into opposite direction since March. In fact, I can see the Canes go all the way to the SC.

Pens vs Flyers : As much as I hate the Flyers for unknown reason, I hate the Pens more for a known reason and I predict Flyers in 7. None of those two team will survive the second round however.

San Jose vs Anaheim : San Jose in 6. Thornton will start slow but Nabokov will make this serie quite easy for the Sharks.

Detroit vs Columbus : Detroit in 4, just so that Columbus don’t have a PO win like us! I know, I am evil :p

Vancouver vs St.Louis : St.Louis will win in 7. That is my underdog here!

Chicago vs Calgary : Calgary in 7. Only Canadian team to make it into second round!

That’s my prediction!

Nope. DONNIE had his chances… Let the record speak for itself, like it would be judged upon by any other team in any other sport… Time’s up for WADDELL…
