Well, it seems a little late to be posting predictions for all of the series, but I will quickly post just a couple of thoughts.
I think, as much as it deeply paid me to say it, that the Habs will sweep the Lightning. Not because I think they are particularly good, because I don't. But with the loss of Bishop, and therefore their dependence upon Lindback and some dude whose name escapes me, I think this one will be over fast. Especially considering games three and four happen north of the border.
I think the Pens/Jackets series will go long, as will the Kings/Sharks. I'll take the Pens and the Kings in seven.
Bruins in five. There's no way that Jimmy Howard can replicate his performance from game one. And once the Bruins shake off the rust from a longer than desired delay, they will return to being a force, and this one will be over quickly and painlessly.
And of course, I'll take the Flyers in seven. Just so I can watch IDR meltdown
