Second Round Predictions

I went 7-1 in the first round, including picking the right number of games for the Blackhawks and Hurricanes.

Here's what I got for Round 2 (or...you know. Just look at the bracket):

Bruins/'Canes: Bruins in 6.
Caps/Penguins: Caps in 6.
Wings/Ducks: Wings in 6.
Canucks/Blackhawks: Canucks in (wait for it, wait for it) 6!

We'll revisit these predictions in a week or so.

Biggest surprise: Blackhawks. They'll give San Jose a run for their money.

Biggest disappointment: Devils. This series could go either way, but you have to score to win and Zach Parise can't score four goals a night for New Jersey.

Conn Smythe: Jose Theodore. For the Capitals, it's going to be Jose Theodore or bust. Sure Ovechkin will light up the scoreboard, but goalies win (and lose) playoff games, so it's all riding on Theo.
