StarrDogg Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think you're pretty right on with the picks. I agree Edmonton could give Detroit some trouble. Anaheim & Calgary could go 7. I still think Carolina will beat Montreal but it will be close, likely 6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The Stars were another of those teams with a Stanley Cup in two trips to the FinalsSo you're just counting the Dallas years?Anyway--while I would put a different number of games to some of my predictions, and some of my reasons vary from yours, I have to agree with the winners you've chosen--except I'm taking a chance and picking the Sabres over the Flyers.This is more a gut thing than any concrete reason, but as you put it-"The Flyers have been a puzzle all year."

Stampman Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Last 10 years Okay--because the North Stars did lose in the finals to the Islanders (a long time ago) and the Penguins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 So Carolina will lose because of......little fan base and the tradition of Montreal? Just like in 2002?Some credibility that is. Montreal will be very lucky to get past Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Carolina has bad fan suppport? I've seen a few 'Canes games on tv and it looks like they get great crowds at the RBC Center. Have you ever been to Raleigh? Because if not, I don't know how you or anybody can legitimately say that the people down there don't know about the Hurricanes and their success this season. Montreal does have a great tradition of hockey but I really don't see or understand what that has to do with this series. History really isn't a factor here. The Hurricanes are much faster and deeper than the Canadiens and I have to disagree with you on your pick here. All the other picks I agree with except the Sabres and Flyers. I have Buffalo beating Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I'm digging the picks, but in the Ottawa-Buffalo series, the Sens' blue liners will give Buffalo forwards a lot more trouble than their counterparts in Philly, which looked granite blocks sitting on the blue line compared to the Sabres' forwards.

Stampman Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hmm--you were 3-5 for the first round--and I was 4-4 so neither of us did a great job.This time I agree with you on 3, but believe Sakic and the boys will prove too much for the Ducks--but it will probably go 7.The Sharks will much tougher for the Oilers.Carolina's only hope is that New Jersey's layoff cooled them off.
