Avs vs. Kings (FORSBERG IS BACK - Colorado in 6 - IF they get Hedjuk back, Avs in 5)
Sharks vs. Coyotes (Sharks in 5)
Blues vs. Blackhawks (Blues in 6)
Eastern Conference:
Leafs vs. Islanders (CuJo will be dominant over Ozzie - Leafs in 5)
Devils vs. Hurricanes (Devils in 5 - no way a sweep - canes went to 6 games vs NJ last year)
Bruins vs. Habs (Montreal in 7 - THE big upset of round 1)
Sens vs. Flyers (Flyers will pound Ottawa into submission in 5, maybe 6 - Sens aren't built for playoffs - Philly is)

Prediction for Finals:
Western Conference - Detroit or Colorado (SJ has outside chance)
Eastern (NJ, Philly, or maybe the Leafs)
Of course, I'm a HUGE Avs fan - not a honeymooner fan either - I'm not 100% convinced they have what it takes this year offensively - defensively, they statistically have the best group on the ice - but you also have to score to win...that'll be their biggest hurdle...we'll see what happens with Peter the Great and Hedjuk - if they can both be playing at 90% by the 2nd round, they'll have the inside track, along with the Wings (they're biggest hurdle is getting everyone healthy and hungry - they had what, a 10 game winless streak to end the season?)
