The eastern conference shaped up just like I, as a flyer fan would have wanted it....

The devils just beat themselves silly trying to get into first place in the atlantic....like the flyers always used to....So I think I'll take the fly-guys in 6.....I LOVE toronto & ottawa beating the shit out of each other for a series...

Tampa may not have as easy a time with the islanders as they think, same with boston & montreal.....

Out west, great heated match-ups too......Dallas-Colorado.....when I'm not watching the flyers-devils I will be trying to watch that series....I didn't know that the preditors were that competative with the wings...an upset would be nice....

Lte me know what you's think...Later

A lot of close races this year. I'm going mad in my pool trying to pick the winners.

Isles/Bolts - Tampa is the better team but NY has owned them this year.

Bruins/Habs - I like Boston if Thornton is healthy. If he's not...

Devils/Flyers - Philly needs either Burke or Esche to stand up and play large.

Buds/Sens - Ottawa has a huge question mark in goal and a tradition of folding to TO.

Wings/Preds - This is one of the few series I'm confident in. Course, I said that last year of the Wings/Ducks series....:p

Sharks/Blues - Sharks have played over their head all year. But do they really need to find that extra gear to beat St Loius?

Nucks/Flames - I think Kiprisoff could be this years J.S. Giguere.

Avs/Stars - Would the real Colorado team please stand up? Unless Sakic or Forsberg step up Turco will steal the show.

A lot of ifs in there.

The Fly-boys are going to choke.

Just let them choke early so it's not so heartbreaking.

losing to the defending stanley cup champs wouldn't be a choke to me......but to each his own.....
