* All start times listed as Eastern Time.

There are some GREAT first round matchups this year. I can see a lot of these series going 6 or 7 games for sure.

....and some could be over QUICK!

Have to be honest, my beloved BOLTS are in serious trouble.

Have faith in them and will never count them out, but as of RIGHT NOW, would be shocked if they won this series from Ottawa.

How bout my Red Wings 31-7 road record..

And , they hadnt lost a game in regulation since March 7th. Until last nights meaningless game.

They are looking strong..

Thanks Fish, now I have all the ammo I need to dominate the V-Wager contest.....:grandmais

I have to agree with you FISH. They just don't have the goaltending to compete this year. However Ottawa is struggling right now, and with their goaltending I could see this being a high scoring series, and entertaining to watch.

I'm not buying into the Red Wings. How many of those wins were against St Louis, Chicago, and Columbus? Nashville was their equal all season.

If they call the Oiler/Red Wing series tight - favors Detroit.

Fish - I agree with you on the TB overs. They will probably win a game, max.

Ottawa chokes every year...we r just not sure which round it will be in.

Round ONE be nice, thank you.

By the way, MONTREAL should and will give CAROLINA a tough series.

Taking MONT. +187 is worth a shot.

BOL

Coop

Redwings had best winning percentage against playoff teams 24-13 or 64.8%

Nash was 17-20 against playoff teams

Coop,

That's 'cause you hate the Habs so much!

I'm in the same boat with my Av's. This is going to hurt.
