Honestly, I would love to make a prediction, but the only two teams I actually paid attention to are playing one another.
As much as I will be rooting the other way, Caps over Flyers in 7.
i think it'll be either montreal, san jose, or detroit.

Since the teams are all re-seeded in the second round, I think the Pens would be playing the Caps and Montreal would be playing the Rangers, right?

if montreal advances they play the lowest seeded team remaining, which would be the rangers in that case

Yeah, he had Montreal playing Washington and Pens playing the Rangers second round so that's why I brought it up.

I can see the Wings beating the Stars because of their terrible incosistency lately, but the Flames seem to always be dangerous in the playoffs. And if the sharks (manage to) play a balanced game rather than just focus on offense or defense, I think they have a decent shot at taking Detroit. But they would have to play PERFECTLY.
I would never downplay detroit though, they are one of the most respected franchises in sports history and I think they are a fucking fantastic team.

Just goes to show you though...i think last year there were two obvious teams that were better than the pack (Anaheim and Ottawa), this year it is a lot more wide open. And teams like Philly and Dallas picked perfect times to get hot.
Really i have no idea who is going to the finals from the final four.

Haha I get it. I don't think I got any of them right regarding the number of games they were going to be decided in. But regarding the outcomes (not including the amount of games) I was 7/8 for the first round, which made me pretty happy. 2/4 second round sucks though.
I'm thinking the finals might be Detroit/Pittsburgh. But the way the playoffs are going, who knows.

I'll be the first to admit, I didn't think we'd beat Montreal because of how they man-handled us in the regular season and to be honest we were outplayed in most of the 5 games. Don't think the bend, but don't break mentality is going to work against Pittsburgh.
