My Second Round Picks

Detroit over Colorado in 5 - only because Detroit never wins series in 4 games.

San Jose over Dallas in 5 - because they showed how great they are last night against Calgary.

Detroit and San Jose will each flub a game because they're so anxious to play each other. I'm afraid these two soft series in Round 2 will leave the West in an even stronger position in the Finals.

Montreal over Philly in 7 - a battle of two very good goalies.

Pittsburgh over NYR in 6 - Crosby brings his "A" game to the Big Apple.

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.
