Match-ups

EAST:
Sabres/Isles: Sabres sweep 4-0. I would love to see an upset, but not happening.
Devils/Bolts: Devils 4-1. Brodeur is at the top of his game & scary. Devils can eliminate a one-line team.
Rangers/Thrash: Rangers upset 4-2. Lundqvist will be the difference. Thrash get playoff experience the hard way.
Sens/Pens: Sens 4-2. Crosby and Malkin steal a few games. But Ottawa has too much scoring depth and defense.

WEST:
Wings/Flames: Wings 4-1. Kipper may get out played. Wings have too much game in all areas. Calgary has one line.
Wild/Ducks: Wild upset 4-3. Backstrom is en fuego. Jaq Lame-air will slow the games down to a crawl.
Canucks/Stars: Canucks 4-2. Loungo stellar his first year in the West. He's dying to prove himself in second breakfast. Wonder twin powers.... activate!
Preds/Sharks: Preds 4-3. Solid goaltending tandem & Forsberg make the difference.
