    More of wish list than reality but one never knows what might happen in the playoffs so, here's mine Geoff.

    Eastern Round 1
    Buffalo vs NYI - Sabres in 6
    NJ vs Tampa - Devils in 5
    Atlanta vs NYR - ATL in 5
    Sens vs Pens - Sens in 5

    Western Round 1
    Det vs Cal - Det in 6
    Anh vs Min - Anh in 5
    Van vs Dal - Van in 6
    Nash vs SJ - SJ in 7

    Round #2
    Devils vs Ott - Ottawa in 6
    Buff vs NYR - Buff in 6
    Det vs SJ - Det in 5
    Anh vs Van - Van in 6

    Round #3
    Ottawa vs Buff - Ott in 6
    Det vs Van - Van in 7

    All Canadian Stanley Cup Final
    Ottawa vs Vancouver - Ottawa in 6


    EDITED after first round. I simply added NYR instead of Atlanta, my lone loser.

    Doesn't the league re-seed the teams after each round...so that if NYR beat ATL then Buf would play NYR in the second round?

    You're right, they don't reseed, just keep the seeds and the highest will play the lowest remaining. I'll have to adjust.

    Only had to make two changes, but alas I still don't think Ottawa will get past the second round.

    If people believe Gary Roberts can still dominate a series I believe Forsberg can as well, bad foot/ankle or not.

    Nashville is very weak though. Peter the Great or not, playing in the central division has inflated their points total massively (same with detroit). Both those teams will struggle against a couple of strong teams in San Jose and Calgary.

    Nashville will go far this year, as will Buffalo.

    As for the Finals? I'll go with Ottawa vs Anaheim.

    Watch out for the Dallas Stars though!!!

    So you must think Detroit is weak as well? They only finished 3 pts ahead of Nashville. Weak division or not, they still played in the Western conference against many good teams, and when Anaheim got out to a phenomenal start and faltered, Detroit and Nashville caught them in the standings. I don't think Nashville is as weak as you might perceive them to be.

    So how do you defend Anaheim, San Jose and Dallas' and Vancouver's point totals as well? Anaheim, Dallas and San Jose were all in the same division and they had high point totals. Perhaps just the bottom half of the Western conference was weak???? If that is your rational, the Eastern conference must be stronger because the point totals are lower in general and more evenly spread out throughout the conference.

    In my opinion, the top of the Western Conference is just stronger than most rest of the league (save for Buffalo) and when they played other teams they just beat up on them. Food for thought.

    The top of the west is no doubt stronger than the rest of the league. What I question is whether the Preds and the Wings actually represent the top of the west. They have 48 gimme points against chicago, st louis, and columbus, and as a result, they finish with highly inflated point totals. Remember what happened to Detroit last year? I see no reason to believe that won't happen again. Vancouver got all those points playing in the toughest division in the league, so they are definitely strong. Anaheim ad San Jose, though not in the strongest division, are just teams who obviously have depth. The same cannot be said for Detroit, who is loaded up on non-performing Euros like Zetterberg and Datsyuk, and players who are too old to grind it out for an extended period in the playoffs. Nashville, on the other hand, is inexperienced and lacks any kind of depth. Neither detroit or Nashville would have finished with nearly so many points in another division.

    Well I sit corrected, good call on the Sharks beating the Preds, but winning the cup.....that will remain to be seen.

    But I guess predicting the Pens in 6 puts you back to zero though.
