Random predictions:
-Canucks/Sharks is going to feature a ton of OT games. Schneider will start at least one game.
-Leafs/Bruins will be alot more competitive than people seem to think.
-Penguins will struggle at times with all their big guns are back in the lineup. Won't look like the juggernaut people are expecting.
-Washington's strong finish to the season will be forgotten when they lose both games on home ice and bow out in short order.
I'm really not liking the west matchups this season for some reason. For the first time in many years, I am much more interested in how the first round in the East will play out. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.
