Playoff Predictions - Round 2

My round one predictions:

Eastern Conference

Buffalo over NY Islanders in 5
New Jersey over Tampa Bay in 6
Atlanta over NY Rangers in 7
Pittsburgh over Ottawa in 7

Western Conference

Detroit over Calgary in 6
Anaheim over Minnesota in 6
Vancouver over Dallas in 7
Nashville over San Jose in 7

What ended up happening:

Buffalo over NY Islanders in 5
New Jersey over Tampa Bay in 6
NY Rangers over Atlanta in 4
Ottawa over Pittsburgh in 5
Detroit over Calgary in 6
Anaheim over Minnesota in 5
Vancouver over Dallas in 7
San Jose over Nashville in 5

Not bad. 5 out of 8 (4 of those were bang on). The Penguins and Predators played well, but their opponents were better. The Thrashers were brutal. I'm glad I was wrong about the Sens.

On to the second round:

Western Conference

Detroit over San Jose in 6
Anaheim over Vancouver in 7

Eastern Conference

Buffalo over NY Rangers in 6
Ottawa over New Jersey in 6

The Sens have what it takes to beat New Jersey. The Devils looked weak against the Lightning. Ottawa must take advantage. The Sabers/Rangers will be a pretty good series. The Sharks and Canucks will put up a good fight, but their opponents will find ways to beat them.
