East

1) Montreal vs. Flyers - I can not stand the Flyers. Beating third seed Caps in 7 games is not all that impressive considering the Caps were really 8th seed caliper.

2) Penguins vs. Rangers - Rangers are really tough right now and I would be lying if I said I was not a bit nervous, although the Pens were dominant in round 1. Sean Avery is a Bush League player with no class. I hope Ruutu, Roberts and Laraque make his future kids dizzy.

West

1) Red Wings vs. Avalanche - Ultimately I would like to see a Detroit / Pittsburgh Cup final, but it would not upset me too much if Colorado advanced. Detroit, as always, has a lot of talent but they tend to choke this time of year.

2) Sharks vs. Stars - This will be the best series of equally skilled teams. It is a real toss-up, but I prefer the Sharks over Dallas.
