First, a recap. I was 7/8 in the first round, missing only the Anaheim upset. Of course, I did say that the Ducks would take it to six games, so I was partly right. Not too shabby overall. Now onto the next round:
Western Conference
2 Detroit vs 8 Anaheim
- The Ducks are definitely better than an eighth seed, but Detroit is not San Jose. Detroit in 6.
3 Vancouver vs 4 Chicago
- Chicago is a great team, but the Canucks' defence is healthy and their goaltender is peaking, two things that could not be said about the Flames. Vancouver in 7.
Eastern Conference
1 Boston vs 6 Carolina
- The 'Canes played well against the Devils, but Boston is a deeper, more talented squad. And Chara will shut down Staal. Boston in 6.
2 Washington vs 4 Pittsburgh
- The match-up that the NHL has yearned for these past four years is here. Two superstars and a seasoned goalie is a better formula than one superstar and a rookie in net. Pittsburgh in 7.
