Have you paid attention to how Colorado has played lately? They both stink, but they'll rise for the playoffs. Turco is a better goalie than either Salo or Aebischer. Other than that, the series is even.
I think Tampa will run out of steam, but that's pretty uncertain.
Leafs over Ottawa is the easiest pick other than Detroit to smoke Nashville. The Leafs beat them in the season series and have always dominated (with a capital D) them in the playoffs.
Theodore might be the difference between Boston and Montreal, if Raycroft wasn't playing so brilliantly this year.
Jersey have problems but they do have a better goalie - so that one might conceivably go the other way.
Vancouver have too much class for Calgary (as do half the teams in the East).
Who really cares about the Blues and the Sharks?
