Well..then...I'll appeal to the 6.5 hockey fans here...

Easy: Anaheim snuffs (does Steve allow "snuff") the Flame in..5...probably 4

The Rest..aka..not so easy..

HAB over Rays in ..6...Stamkos does not get it done

Rod Gilbert over the Bullets in 7...Great Series...Wes Unsleld might get it done

Hawk vs Northstar...hatred...Hawk vs Wild..love...Love in 6

to be continued

Wings let me down so I'm all in for the Hawks now myself.

Losing kronwall hurt, zidlicky on top of it...told hubby Tampa, barely in game seven.
Hope you keep Babcock, I really think you will.

I doubt it since they don't appear to be talking, but i hope so too. We looked old in those last 2 games to me. Need more speed like the Rangers.

Just going by what mb said, because apparently he and wife had a discussion, which he said was very brief. The way he talked, I took it to mean she isn't keen on moving.
If it were me, I wouldn't go to Toronto, which everyone keeps mentioning.
I'd go to San Jose! Way better weather.

I hadn't heard that. Hope she talks sense into him.

He said Holland isn't the boss, my wife is. That they hadn't talked til after the season, and it was very brief. So, we figure it means she wants to stay home.
I think his main concern is that they get him some younger players. They don't want to make the mistake of staying too loyal to some for too long. Their successes definitely hinder in drafts. Heck of a team, with a streak of playoff appearances to be envied..but no one wants to keep going to the post season to end up losing in the first round.

I agree on the ducks. I think they'll torch Calgary....he he.
Hawks over wild, dubnyk can't do it all. Hawks have too much o.
Habs lose to Tampa. I think in the end Tampa's offense will prevail. The goalies in that series seem evenly matched. Have to think stamkos will light up.
The Caps...for obvious reasons, I have them over NY. Home ice taken away in game one. Holtbys healthy, ovies on fire, kuzy, backstrom, ward...trotz has them where they need to be. Rangers don't have zucarello, and its left them in a hole. Nash seems to have lost his first half mojo.
If only gm mcphee hadn't jumped the gun and fired gabby, we wouldn't have gone thru the lost years. Kuznetzov eases the forsberg pain...
