Detroit v. Calgary
I'm going to have to say Detroit in 5, possibly 6 on this one. It's true that Calgary will prove a much bigger threat than Nashville did, but face it. They played a long, hard series against Vancouver, and walked out licking their wounds. Meanwhile, Detroit has had the past week to kick up their feet, and has left the first round with fewer injuries to their lineup than Calgary has. A fresh Calgary team might be able to win against the Red Wings, but not this tired, injured team.

San Jose v. Colorado
I thought I had Colorado figured out in the first round, but they surprised me and walked away with the win, and in fine style I might add. I think as long as their best players end up being their best players, then Colorado will take it in 6.

Tampa Bay v. Montreal
This is going to end up being a case of a fast team versus a fast team, and in the end, it could very well all come down to goaltending. Theordore is playing red hot right now, and Khabibulin(sic?) isn't too bad either. However, applying my bias and wishful thinking, I'm going to have to say the Habs will take it in 7.

Philadelphia v. Toronto
All throughout the Toronto-Ottawa series, all I heard about was this voodoo curse that Toronto had over Ottawa. Well, it seems to have worked again, but the Leafs seem to keep forgetting that they have a voodoo curse cast on them as well. Toronto has never gone beyond the next round after beating Ottawa, and I think that's what's going to happen again. They're old, they're broken, and they can't rely on Belfour as much in this series, as Philly is more of a 'crash the net' type of team than Ottawa was. Because of these factors, I'm going to have to go with the Flyers in 5.
