    EAST:

    Bruins vs. Canadiens: Bruins win in 5 games.

    (Carey Price has been struggling the whole entire year and with Boston's offensively gifted team this year, I don't think they have much of a chance. Also, Tim Thomas is great in goal and the Canadiens top scorer - Alex Kovalev - scoring only 65 points! I don't think so).

    Capitals vs. Rangers: Capitals win in 6 games.

    (1 word for you: OVECHKIN. The only way Rangers win is if they shutdown Ovechkin. Even then, Henrik Lundqvist would still have to win the series by himself, there aren't many goal scorers on the Rangers while the Caps have 4 great ones.)

    Devils vs. Hurricanes: Devils win in 6 games.

    (With a breakout year from Zach Parise, a revived year from Patrick Elias and a rested Martin Brodeur. The Hurricanes are in trouble with not much offensive ability.)

    Penguins vs. Flyers: Flyers win in 7 games.

    (This will be a close series and it could go either way. But, the reason i pick Phillie is because they practically have the Mr. Clutch of today in Daniel Briere. Aside from that they also have a strong back end and solid size and skill up front. The make or break will be GOALTENDING!)

    WEST:

    Sharks vs. Ducks: Sharks win in 5 games.

    (San Jose is too offensively gifted for a struggling Giguere and a young Hiller. They're playing an up tempo game that's more suited for them and they are not that shabby on defense either).

    Wings vs. Jackets: Wings sweep.

    (I really want to see the Jackets win this series, but they're too young and only got to the playoffs on the shoulders of Steve Mason. But i don't think he'll be able to handle Detroit's offensive power on three lines with the addition of staring at Tomas Holmstrom's and Johan Franzen's bottoms the whole series).

    Canucks vs. Blues: Canucks in 7 games.

    (I think that these teams are evenly matched offensively, but i give the Canucks the edge in goal and on defense. Luongo will steal a couple games to win the series.)

    Blackhawks vs. Flames: Flames in 7 games.

    (I know that the Hawks have great talent, but the Flames will have to deal out the body on them. They have Phaneuf, who was drafted just to do that and they also have Iginla, who also chip in with goals. I don't think that Toews and Kane will be able to deal with Phaneuf hammering them every time they enter the zone.)

    Montreal over Boston, i just know that Thomas will crumble when playing the Habs, like before and the Bruins will end there season with shaking hands at centre ice with the Habs . Carey Price plays good against Boston and he hates losing so he will play the best he can to win. Price, i wish you best of luck!!!

    ;D

    Bruins vs Montreal- Boston will take this in 6 games, Kessel is back and doesn't want the choke artist label Joe Thornton got back in the day, he's playing with a purpose

    Caps vs Rangers- Washington will overpower lundqvist and NY, with all of Washingtons offensive firepower they grab this one in 5 or 6

    NJ Devils vs Canes- Carolina lacks the offensive catalyst to keep up consistent scoring against Broduer, Parise and Gionta will gladly defeat Carolina in 5

    Flyers vs Pens- The first "upset", although 5 over is not mmuch of an upset, the Flyers have a few guys who show up in the playoffs including Daniel Briere, and ith the league's best offensive PK, Philadelia takes the series. Malkin & Co. will strech th series to seven games though.

    SJ Sharks vs Anaheim- SJ is the clear pick here, the one question mark though will be the effectiveness of both Giguere and Getzlaf, and if Getzlaf can throw anaheim on his back and drag the series to 7 like Ovechkin did last year in the first round, the Ducks have a shot as JSG is historically a game 7 goalie. That said, I think SJ in 6

    Detroit vs Columbus- Detroit is one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the NHL, not even a great offensive showing from Rick Nash will stop Detroit from winning this series in 5.

    Vancouver vs St Louis- I think this will be the only sweep of the first round, St. Louis coasted into the playoffs and Vancouver is peaking Luongo is dominating and the Sedins are playing well. Canucks in 4.

    Chicago vs Flames- The Blackhawks will ride their young legs and offensive prowess past Calgary, The Flames will not go down lightly though. Kane and Toews take the series in 7.

    Lets Recap

    Boston over Montreal in 6

    Washington over Rangers in 6

    NJ Devils over Carolina in 5

    PHI Flyers over Pittsburgh in 7

    SJ SHarks over Anaheim in 6

    Detroit over Columbus in 5

    Vancouver over St. Louis in 4

    Chicago over Calgary in 7
