Given the weirdness of the schedule this year, I watched western conference games just about every night but I don't post nearly as much as I used to.
OK, it's time for your Round 2 Predictions.
I was 6-2 in Round 1 (I picked Anaheim and Washington, both in 7). Here are my picks:
Ottawa in 7 over Pittsburgh (Ottawa has overall better defence and goaltending. If their penalty killing is better than the Pens', they will win.)
New York in 7 over Boston (King Henrik is the difference and Boston's defense is a little banged up)
San José in 7 over LA (once again, this is going to be a fantastic series. Two excellent playoff teams, but I think this is the year that San José finally plays to their potential)
Chicago in 6 over Detroit (right now the Hawks are the best team in the playoffs)
I would now like to revise this statement...
The great thing about two Canadian teams playing each other is that at least one Canadian team has to make it to the next round.
LOL - Tom, you must have a bigger one for the Habs.

Well, they just gave up a pp goal 3 minutes into game 1 and Pitt looks very strong. But, they bounced right back. Could be a high scoring game.

Actually, I don't. However, I have a bigger one... for the Leafs (again) :
Dad & son walk of shame to school!
Find it hard to believe anyone would put on a Leafs jersey today.
First time in history a team has come from 3 goals down in the 3rd period of a playoff game and won.

Then you clearly don't understand the psyche of Leafs fans. They are die-hards and bleed blue. And last night they cried blue tears.
You can’t blame Ovechkin for being frustrated, what with the power play being the Capitals’ meal ticket and the officials canceling that ticket when they don’t whistle the Rangers for any penalties. (Washington had two power plays in Game 7, as did the Rangers.)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
I don't blame him - I'm enjoying his tears.

Agreed "O" should be penalized at least on couple of occasions for boarding and for high elbow
oh your one of those sports fans huh. theres been a lot worse than that happen in sports including bruins philly a few years ago. that was way worse, and i'm a bruins fan. up 3-0 in the series and then 3-0 in game 7 ? guess who won the cup aftre.
That's great, Steve ! One thing about both teams, they skate and skate and play puck possession. Neither team is going to goon it up or or engage in after-the-whistle crap.
My prediction.... Blackhawks in 7
My last comment on the Leafs. It was truly a dismal failure to lose a substantial lead in the 3rd period of the final game in Boston. They didn't, however, get knocked our as a favoured team in the five game, they fought back from a 3-1 deficiet against a highly favoured team to make it to the final game fo the series. I'm proud about that and looking forward to a young and relatively inexperienced team in the next season.

Absolutely.That's a different between real fan and bandwagoneers.
I guess I'd be too embarrassed and hurt to wear one that soon.

Time will heal.No reason to embarrassing,hell of the battle.
If Leafs fans felt that way nobody would have worn a piece of Leafs gear for the last nine years! LOL!
The great thing about Toronto is that nobody seems to be putting the team down for the loss. Everyone is just thrilled that they made the playoffs and got as far as they did. I guess when you haven't even made the playoffs for this long, you celebrate every little victory that you can. Sad but true.
Not only that, but they're a young crew with a very bright future. Get used to being in the playoffs Leaf fans
