I'm going to take emotion out of it and base my predictions purely on goals allowed this year. I'm taking the rankings and basing the series winner on the better team in just that one stat. 4 spots of separation gets the winner one less game for the series win.
Let's see how accurate this is. Could be fun. GA/G ranking in brackets.
Washington (2) vs. Philadelphia (12): Capitals in 5
Dallas (19) vs. Minnesota (9): Wild in 5 (LOL, not sure I think this will happen, but let's stick with that for now)
Florida (7) vs. New York Islanders (13): Panthers in 6
Anaheim (1) vs. Nashville (14): Ducks in 4
Pittsburgh (6) vs. New York Rangers (15): Penguins in 5
St. Louis (4) vs. Chicago (10): Blues in 6
Tampa Bay (5) vs. Detroit (17): Lightning in 4
L.A. (3) vs. San Jose (11): Kings in 5
