Flames in 7 - I keep going back to the Flames team speed up front and their transition game, and how much offense they get from the blueline. If the Canucks get their cycle game going its tough for the Flames, but if the Flames get going and turn the Canucks Blueline the Flames win. This is a pickem series so I'll go with the Homer vote
St Louis in 6 - The old saying is if you win the goalie battle you win the series. The Wild have gotten great work out of Dubnyk, however the Blue's are going to do everything they can to get in front of him. The Blue's are just a bigger meaner team.
Anaheim in 5 - A battle of two big nasty teams, neither team is stellar between the pipes, but I like the Ducks 1 2 punch up the middle better. This series is going to be bloody, but I believe that the Jet's inexperience will doom them.
Chicago in 6 - Neither team is great hell right now, but the Hawks get Kane back and that's huge. The Preds after a great half season fell apart and its tough to get that momentum back
Montreal in 4 - I wonder how much gas the Sens have in the tank after their sprint to the playoffs? The Habs aren't a terrific team outside of Price and they have trouble scoring, but I'm betting fatigue is a huge factor in this series
Tampa in 6 - Just too many weapons and Detroit has major goaltending issues
New York in 5 - Pittsburgh is in need of a reload, Crosby can't carry them to a win over a very deep Rangers team with an outstanding defense.
Washington in 7 - I just don't like how the Islanders have played in the last quarter of the season. A lot of bad habits have crept into their game.
