(4) PIT vs. (5) TB = TB in 7

(1) VAN vs. (8) CHI = Vancouver in 6
(2) SJ vs. (7) LA = San Jose in 5
(3) DET vs. (6) PHX = PHX in 7
(4) ANA vs. (5) NSH = NSH in 7


Meaning my round 2 looks like:

WSH vs BUF (6) = WSH in 6
TB vs BOS (6) = BOS in 6

VAN vs PHX (5) = VAN in 5
SJS vs NSH (7) = SJS in 6


Leading to:

WSH vs BOS (6) = BOS in 6
VAN vs NSH (5) = VAN in 7


Resulting in:

BOS vs VAN (6) = VAN in 7(hope im wrong!)

Conn Smythe = Luongo

EDIT: Changed to BUF from PHI after reading more on Prongers injury.

dont know why so many people hing the series on pronger. I dont think the sabers have a chance even without pronger in the philly lineup unless miller has 4 shutout wins.

I give the Flyers no chance.

That was the final straw for me. There record down the stretch was horrible. I think goaltending will be the deciding factor with the absence of Pronger.

One really important thing to remember regarding the playoffs... is that the regular season means fuck all.



Flyers smash the Sabres. Goaltending is constantly over-rated in the playoffs.

Edited my picks. Gonna go out on a limb and predict Rangers upset the caps. Final of Boston and Sharks.

See Cam Ward, Jaro Halak, Giguere, Brodeur...etc. Goaltending is what wins cups imo

[Nick]

hot goaltending can win a series, but that's not to be confused with the better goalie... see brodeur losing with no time left to the canes, or Lou the past 2 years... rask/thomas in game 4/5/6/7 last year....

goaltending is so overrated in the playoffs - not in the sense that a hot goalie doesn't have an impact. in the sense that the "superstar" goalies are not the keys to winning.

every goalie you listed there other than brodeur was not elite when their team won. so the list of ward, halak and giggy, i'll add osgood, fleury, niemi who all won without having fantastic regular seasons.

the flyers will rape miller and the sabres (for once, nick and i agree lol).
