Detroit has way more fire power than Minnesota to expose how bad Theodore really is. Stars vs Sharks - Sharks are a great team. Stars are a great team. If I could call a tie I would. I think Nabakov is going to have to be un-real for the Sharks to stay alive. If the Sharks can learn anything from the Ducks its stay out of the box or its going to be over REAL quick. EAST Habs vs Flyers This one will be a rough series but I think the Habs will take it. Price looked shaky last night. Highly unlikely to happen again. Flyers big slow d-men will be exposed by the young fast skaters of Montreal. If the Habs win I recommend the entire city of Montreal evacuate. Pens vs Rangers Agree. Rangers are the most talented five seed I have ever seen. Fire power, fire power, fire power from both teams. Blue Shirts have the better tendy and the pens dont have Avery. Giving it to the Manahatten Maniacs. My two cents. WEST

Habs vs Flyers
This one will be a rough series but I think the Habs will take it. Price looked shaky last night. Highly unlikely to happen again. Flyers big slow d-men will be exposed by the young fast skaters of Montreal. If the Habs win I recommend the entire city of Montreal evacuate.

Pens vs Rangers
Agree. Rangers are the most talented five seed I have ever seen. Fire power, fire power, fire power from both teams. Blue Shirts have the better tendy and the pens dont have Avery. Giving it to the Manahatten Maniacs.

My two cents.

He just scored the 1st goal of Round 2. How about Patrice Briesbois? He just scored the 1st goal of Round 2.

Im going to go with the other two guys and say Avs cant take the Wings. I will ally with you in saying New York has the edge to take the Pens. Regardless, go habs. Solid predictions Snuggler.
