bayrider Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think the tightest matchup in the 1st round is Min-Col. I think Minnesota will pull it off in 7. It's gonna be close methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm going for the caps in the east. Everyone can die from the west as far as I'm concerned. damn predators.. grumble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm going for the caps in the east.Everyone can die from the west as far as I'm concerned. damn predators.. grumble... i laughed pretty hard when the canucks got knocked out by the oilers (and thus finishing lower in the standings then them). GO HABS GO! (and ducks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 habs in 4 vs boston :D and Montreal for the cup ! no one can beat Montreal! You expect to win the cup with a rookie goalie? I honestly think that Anaheim will win again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deck Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Please oh please oh pretty please with love on top - Habs win. Everything. I so hope they win so I can enjoy a Stanley Cup celebration/riot while I'm young. I want to host the party when we win and then rush downtown to party with the crowds who have stormed the street with their exuberance. And we're overdue.

sn00pie Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Habs are a good bet this year, Carey Price is the new Patrick Roy if you ask me. Montreal is known for bringing up brilliant goaltenders. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have faith that the senators will choke again, and when that happens balance will be restored to the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Actually I was having a conversation with my dad today about the playoffs, and we both agree that the Avs have a chance at it, they'll need solid goaltending and Forsberg and Sakic to be injury free the whole time (which I find unlikely). Although Minni is a tough team, Colorado couldn't be happier about facing them in the first round, no one wants to go against Det, SJ, or Ana It's really hard to cheer for anyone in the NW (being a die hard Canucks fan hehe) Such a hard division.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted April 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ok PREDICTIONS for hte first round! Montreal vs Boston = Montreal Pittsburgh vs Ottawa = Pittsburgh Washington vs Flyers = Washington NJ vs NY = New York Detroit vs Nashville = Detroit San Jose vs Calgary = San Jose Minesota vs Colorado = Minesota Anaheim vs Stars = Anaheim I could see Calgary taking it, I could see Ottawa taking it if they play like gods and I could easily see NJ taking it if NYR choke.

If jose plays like the Jose i used to know or even half of that, they are going to beat Minne. Too bad svatos is out though... mine are Montreal vs Boston = Montreal Pittsburgh vs Ottawa = Pittsburgh Washington vs Flyers = Washington NJ vs NY = Jersey (never understimate marty in the plauyoffs) Detroit vs Nashville = Nashville (detroit was garbage against their own division all year) San Jose vs Calgary = Calgary (San Jose is a bunch of girls, calgary is going to hammer them) Minesota vs Colorado = Avs (go jos? go!) Anaheim vs Stars = Anaheim (the quackers are going to repeat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
