correction, though that is #2

no way… that ottawa vs sabres game 1 was the best game last year…

I’d argue about it … but i have soo much shit to do :frowning:

In the East:

Sabres VS. Islanders- Sabres in 4. No Dipietro, no way.

New Jersey VS. Tampa- Jersey in 6. Brodeur vs. Denis/Holmvquist. lol, come on.

Atlanta VS. Rangers- Atlanta in 7. The Rangers have been hot lately, but I really think Hossa and his crew will take this one.

Pittsburgh VS. Ottawa- Pittsburgh in 7. I’m very, very excited to watch this series. It could go either way, but I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t go to game 7.

In the West:

Detroit VS. Calgary- Calgary in 7. Kipprusoff is a stud, and Detroit’s numbers are yet again inflated due to them being in the worst division in the league.

Anaheim VS. Minnesota- I’m not really sure about this one. I want to say Anaheim in 6, but if Gaborik decides to take over, I think Minny can take this series in 7.

Dallas VS. Vancouver- Luongo in 6.

Nashville VS. San Jose- SJ’s lineup says that they will take it in 5, but their inconsistency says this series will go to game 7. I am also undecided about this series. But I’m going to guess that Nashville takes it.

I watched it on adelphia all last year, and I’d say your guess of 10 seconds is pretty close. Probably a little less, but whatevs. DVR that shit and match it up.

Update on Dipietro.

NY Islanders Game Breakers

DIPIETRO
Rick DiPietro: Expected to be in goal for Game 1 of the series after missing nine of the last 13 games of the year with concussion woes, DiPietro is the Islanders’ most important player. It was a struggle to win games without him down the stretch and his expected return will give the Isles an emotional lift, in addition to leveling the play between the pipes in the series. DiPietro has never won a playoff series, but in his last cameo – in 2004 against the Lightning – he showed flashes of brilliance, including his first career postseason shutout against the Bolts. This season, the 25-year old went 32-19-9 in 62 games with a 2.58 GAA and a .919 save-percentage.

I’ll change my previous prediciton of a sweep to a 4-2 Buffalo series win. I think DP might steal a couple games.

Only six Presidents’ Trophy winners have gone on to win the Cup in the 20 years since the league began giving out the award.

Only ZERO 9th place finishing teams have gone on to win the Cup ever.

/end.

so there are 16 teams to make the playoffs…The chance of picking a winner would be:
1/16 or 6.25%

6 the last 20 presidents trophy winners have won years:
6/20 = 30%

I dunno…its not directly related, but I don’t mind being on top :tup:
