Predictions for the first round, providing these matchups remain...
Boston/Montreal... I want Boston to win, and I think they will
Washington/New York... I guess I'll hope Washington wins, and I think they will
New Jersey/Carolina.... I guess I'll like New Jersey to win, but I'm predicting Carolina does
Philadelphia/Pittsburgh... I don't care who wins, but I'm predicting Pittsburgh will.
Calgary/Chicago... I want Calgary to, and I'm predicting they will.
San Jose/St Louis... I want St Louis to, they're great underdogs, but i predict San Jose will
Vancouver/Columbus... I want Columbus to, I can't stand Vancouver, and I predict Columbus will.
Detroit/Anaheim... I want Anaheim to, and I predict they will (in an upset)
So there they are, my first round predictions. The only team I'm cheering for are the Flames, like always, but I'll be watching the majority of the games with interest.
