Good picks dude.

Western Conference:
Chicago Blackhawks (1) vs. Minnesota Wild (8) - Blackhawks in 6
Anaheim Ducks (2) vs. Detroit Red Wings (7) - Ducks in 7
Vancouver Canucks (3) vs. San Jose Sharks (6) - Sharks in 7
St. Louis Blues (4) vs. Los Angeles Kings (5) - Kings in 5

Eastern Conference:
Pittsburgh Penguins (1) vs. New York Islanders (8) - Penguins in 5
Montréal Canadiens (2) vs. Ottawa Senators (7) - Senators in 6
Washington Capitals (3) vs. New York Rangers (6) - Rangers in 7
Boston Bruins (4) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (5) - Bruins in 6

I want Wild to win but it's not going to happen. I think if I'm wrong about anything it will be Detroit beating the Ducks. Also a chance that the Sharks beat Vancouver in as few as 5 if Luongo plays the whole series. Also, the kings could quite possibly sweep St Louis.

If the Hawks end up playing Anaheim they won't make it to the finals.
I almost want to call a Ducks - Penguins finals, but I didn't look at all the potential matchups like I did with Chicago.

Edit - I looked through them all. If Anaheim makes it past Detroit it will be a Ducks - Pens finals.

Join up.
