I should probably get my second round predictions out there before the games start, so here they are!
Eastern Conference:
Buffalo vs New York: Sorry Volo, but as well as the Rangers played in the first round I just don't think they will be able to win 4 against Buffalo. Buffalo won't sleepwalk through this series and will take it in 6 games.
Ottawa vs New Jersey: With all due respect to Brodeur I don't think he'll be enough. Ottawa will have their hands full with the stifling defensive game, but their depth up front will give them an edge. Ottawa in 7 games.
Western Conference:
Detroit vs San Jose: Sorry Detroit, but this team won't be relying on it's goaltender to make 80 saves per game. San Jose is fast enough that I think they'll be able to pepper Hasek for more than 20 shots a game. Sane Jose will take this in 6 games.
Anaheim vs Vancouver: As much as I hate to say this, I have to go with Anaheim in this round. I just don't think that Vancouver is playing well enough to beat Anaheim. They'll need to be much better if they hope to win. Anaheim wins this 5 games.
