NHL Playoff Predictions - Round Two

Before I start, I need to recap the first round, prediction wise.

Of the 8 series, I correctly predicted 7 of the winners. Damn Penguins.

Also, in 3 of those 7 wins, the number of games was also correctly predicted.

So, here we go. Round Two.

Eastern Conference:

Sabres v Rangers: Both of these teams have had a long time off in between series, almost too much; Game 1 will be chippy and sloppy because of it. But once they settle down, I think the Rangers experience and talent will take over, and knock out the President's trophy winners. Rangers in 6.

Devils v Senators: Once again, the legendary Martin Brodeur goes up against a relatively inexperienced goaltender, this time in Ray Emery. Emery was solid in round one, but New Jersey is deeper than Pittsburgh was, and the Devils always find a way to get it done in the playoffs. Ottawa doesn't. Devils in 7.

Western Conference:

Ducks v Canucks: Whereas the Ducks have had a week off, Vancouver is coming off a long, tough series against Dallas, and only has one day off in between series. That being said, Roberto Luongo is the best goalie left in the West, and he'll steal a game or two. The problem is, Anaheim is much better than Vancouver, and one or two won't be enough. Ducks in 7.

Red Wings v Sharks: Do you even have to ask? All right, here goes. The Sharks are the deeper team, and had more rest going into this series. This has all the makings of a classic matchup, what with 2 very good teams who both truly believe that they will win the Cup. Sorry Detroit. Wait, I'm not sorry... Sharks in 6.

There they are, Rangers, Devils, Ducks, and Sharks. The Final Four.

Record: 7-1
