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...Originally Posted by ForeverAutumn in post 1021
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.

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.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
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.

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
