Second Round Predictions: Eastern Conference
(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (6) New York Rangers
This is a bad matchup for the Rangers. Though they arguably have the advantage in net, the Rangers offense is no match for the juggernaut in Buffalo.
Buffalo in 5.
(2) New Jersey Devils vs. (4) Ottawa Senators
New Jersey beat Tampa by tipping the balance ever so slightly in favor of Brodeur and their checking line and ever so slightly against St. Louis and Lecavalier.Ottawa's more balanced attack will be much more difficult for New Jersey to contain. If Ottawa's secondary scoring shows up, this could be a short series. Ottawa in 6.
UPDATE: It's dishonest hedging of me to pick a final four of NJ, BUF, SJ, and ANA and then pick Ottawa here. I'm changing to New Jersey in 7.
Recap of 1st round predictions so far:
6 for 6 in decided series. I've got Calgary (down 3 to 2) and Vancouver (tied at 3) in the other 2.
Update: 7-1. Missed on the Flamers.
