For those keeping score at home, I have gone 9/12 so far in the playoffs (7/8 in round 1, 2/4 in round 2) and Juan has gone a sub-par 6/12 (4/8 in round 1, 2/4 in round 2). I'd add up Chris as well, but I don't care if I score higher or lower compared to him, it's about beating the Mexican that matters.

Eastern Conference

(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (4) Ottawa Senators

The division rivals (who cares about Toronto/Montreal?) face off in a rematch from round 2 last year. The problem for Buffalo this year is that Alfredsson has shown up for the playoffs this season, and Heatley and Spezza are just as hot as he is (just ask New Jersey about the 24 combined points they scored in 5 games). Buffalo though has powerful high octane offense as well which isn't to be overlooked. At any given time Briere or Drury can change the game, and though Emery has improved a lot over last season (I'm still not sold) I give Ryan Miller the edge in goal. This may be a repeat of the Ottawa/Pittsburgh series, where the way Ottawa has to win is score more goals and hope Chris Phillips can shutdown Buffalo's top players like he did with Crosby. I literally flipped a coin on this one.

Ottawa in 7

Western Conference

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (2) Anahiem Lucky Ducks

Sure the Ducks were the better team, but we all know the Canucks could've easily been up 3-1 going into game 5 instead. That's why I don't know how powerful the Ducks will be against the Red Wings, because the Red Wings never quit against the Sharks, where the Ducks only played like they should've against Vancouver in game 1 of that series. Plus Hasek isn't hurt yet, and he's still got that slinky in him somehow. Datsyuk/Zetterberg/Samuelson is an awesome line as well. I give this to Detroit.

Detroit in 6
