NHL Playoff Round 2 predictions

It didn't work out as well as round 1, and it is too late to make prediction for round 3. Let's put it this way, I am all for a Ducks-Senator final. I like both teams (the Senators a little more, but my hockey pool has more ducks) and it would be a very exciting series.

Vancouver Canucks to advance - NHL playoff: second round

Congratulations to my Vancouver Canucks.

They didn't play so well in this series but they got the four wins and it is what matters. I think the officiating is in nucks' favor though, with several questionable calls against the Stars.

My round one predictions:

Western:

Red Wings in 5 - Red Wings in 6
Ducks in 5 - correct
Canucks in 7 - correct
Predators in 6 - sharks in 5

Eastern:

Sabers in 5 - correct
Devils in 6 - correct
Thrashers in 7 - Rangers in 4
Senators in 5 - correct

So I got 5 out of 8 exactly right, 1 off by one game and 2 off by quite a bit. Not too shabby eh?

My predictions for 2nd round:

Western:

Ducks in 6 (Sorry, canucks)
Red Wings in 6

Eastern:

Devils in 6
Rangers in 6

It has been an exciting 1st round and I look forward to the Ducks vs 'nucks series.

My Vancouver Canucks and 1st round predictions

The game one was certainly exciting and I look forward to a very close and exciting series between the Stars and Canucks. Losing Cooke, Burrows and Kesler would hurt our chance but hopefully the call-ups will fill in adequately until the regulars come back.

My predictions:

Western:

• Red Wings in 5
• Ducks in 5
• Canucks in 7
• Predators in 6

Eastern:

• Sabers in 5
• Devils in 6
• Thrashers in 7
• Senators in 5
