Alright now that the playoffs are starting on Wednesday. I think it's a good time to do my predictions on what will happen in the first round between teams. I'm gonna pick the winners and how many games they'll go.
East
Boston vs Montreal
This series will be bringing back and age old rivalry between two original six teams. The series will go 5 games Montreal will steal one in Montreal, but Carey Price's Canadiens won't be able to carry them over Tim Thomas's Bruins.
Washington vs New York Rangers
This series should be tough with the goaltending of this series and the offense power the two teams have. I think it will be a series of 6, unless Alexnader Ovechkin takes his MVP stats of this regular season. He could make the series end in 4 by himself.
New Jersey vs Carolina
This will be a 6 game series possibility of 7 games. Carolina is gonna take the series though even without having home ice advantage. Marty Brodeur might actually be a sore spot for Devils.
Philadelphia vs Pittsburgh
This will probably be a 6 games series. I want to take my Flyers winning the series, so I will. Though Pittsburgh can easily take it like they did last year in the Eastern Conference finals.
West
San Jose vs. Anaheim
This game will go 5 and Sharks will take it. Though Anaheim will give them a tough time in those 5. Nabokov will be too strong in goal for Anaheim will take it.
Detroit vs Columbus
4 games, Detroit runs over Columbus. Detroit is much too strong for Columbus.
Vancouver vs St. Louis
5 games if St. Louis gets one in Vancouver. If not definitely a 4 game series the Canucks will be too tough for Blues.
Chicago vs Calgary
7 game series between these two teams. The teams are evenly matched, besides in goaltending match up of Kiprusoff vs Huet/Khabibulin. Kiprusoff is a stud in net and should get the Vezina this year.
