Here are my picks for round two. I did okay in round one, went 5-3 (stupid west).
Boston vs Philadelphia: Philly lost Gagne, Lapierre, Carter and and that should do it. That is a lot of lost fire power and Boston will get Savard back for round two. Boston in five.
Pittsburgh vs Montreal: Halak played amazing in round one so can he do it again? I think the Pens are getting their game together again after a lackluster regular season. Crosby the golden child takes this team to the conference final again. Pens in six.
San Jose vs Detroit: I think San Jose chokes again. Thornton is Mr. Invisible again and they just don’t have it. Detroit had a tough close first round and didn’t play great until game seven. I think Detroit will take San Jose. Wings in seven.
Chicago vs Vancouver: rematch from last year, Hawks took out the Canucks last year so can they do it again? Once again, this depends on which Luongo shows up. Who shows up? I will go Hawks in seven but this is an iffy call.
