2007 Playoff Predictions (First Round)

The East

(1) Buffalo vs. (8) New York Islanders:
Buffalo seems to be always Playoff capable so Buffalo in Six Games
Coin Toss: New York

(2) New Jersey vs. (7) Tampa Bay:
Once again Tampa is relying on their big three who can be very good so Tampa in Seven Games
Coin Toss: New Jersey

(3) Atlanta vs. (6) New York Rangers:
I don't see Atlanta lasting long in the playoff and the Rangers have been great recently so New York in Six Games (Possibly Five)
Coin Toss: Atlanta

(4) Ottawa vs. (5) Pittsburgh:
Ottawa has historically been paper tigers in the playoffs and I don't see this trend changing and as much as it hurts Pittsburgh in Six
Coin Toss: Pittsburg

The West

(1) Detroit vs. (8) Calgary:
Calgary has grit and determination but they will be dominated in Five games by Detroit
Coin Toss: Detroit

(2) Anaheim vs. (7) Minnesota:
Anaheim as been great this season on the Ducks in Seven
Coin Toss: Anaheim

(3) Vancouver vs. (6) Dallas:
Vancouver has only two goal scorers in the Sedin twins and a terrific goalie, while the Stars have some great lines and a goalie who chokes in the playoffs so Dallas in Six (Maybe Seven)
Coin Toss: Dallas

(4) Nashville vs. (5) San Jose:
San Jose is a tough team especially with its recent accquistions, so San Jose in Six
Coin Toss:Nashville
