I think this will be a very close series. I think it will be a 7 game series.....I'm actually going to go with an upset and say Ottawa in 7 (wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way).

Senators in 7.

Evenly matched teams but Montreal with maybe a bit more talent. I could see this going either way but I'll stick with the Habs until the clock strikes 12 with this seasons lucky run. Habs in 7.

This will definitely be a great series and I agree that the Senators should prevail, but, in six games. The series will be televised on RDS and probably on TSN. The television schedule should be released within an hour.

I'm expecting this series to be a dandy, and one that'll go the distance. Like most of the others so far, I think the Senators will upset.

Go Sens...that is all

[BurningSteel]

Sens in 7. Bourque the round MVP. CP explodes with never should have traded him banter.

[Major Major]

I think Montreal wins a tight series, taking advantage of home ice. However, this will not be a close series if Price does not tighten the screws. I happen to think he's a gamer and will have a hell of a series, as will Anderson.

If Ottawa wins, look out... Possible Spezza return for the second series. I am jealous of the way Ottawa is built, and I think they will be a threat every year for the foreseeable future.

Go Sens. Karlsson should outplay Subban easily.

Agree with the guys talking about Bourque. Sure he's usually inconsistent and uninvolved but a playoff berth could get him going.

I am watching the NHL Network and it was just shown that the Senators-Habs series will be on HNIC.
