Second Round

I am little surprised and dissapointed in myself for only going .500 in the first round.

But, to be honest, i didn't focus my entire weath of brain power on a few of the series - the Rangers and the Anaheim series in particular - so I guess I got what I deserved.

Speaking of - what happened to Calgary? I'll jump on the bandwagon and say shoddy coaching. I wasn't watching the game, but it sounds like a timeout would have been a good idea. And probably before SJ got the the goal to go up one. I didn't think that going with Iron Mike was a good choice in the first place.

Anyway, second round;

As the last few years have shown, once you get past the first round, you could march all the way to finals, whether you're supposed to be there or not, like Edmonton, Calgary, Carolina all had done. So picking from now on seems like more of a crap shoot.

Or it is for me anyway.

I'm sticking with the party line...

Detroit is too much for Colorado to handle.

Ditto for San Jose over Dallas.

I like Montreal over Philly - shades of 1993 in game one I'd say...

And Pittsburgh over the Rangers.
