Pretty easy one here, who survives the East? Well, easy that is if you can look at how the team played all season as opposed to how they've played in three or four games 8-)

Easy, Buffalo. If not, it'd be a pretty big choke job.

I picked the Rangers... just for the heck of it. They're killing Atlanta and while that's not such a big deal, they're gaining confidence. I'm think Lundquist is going to have a big playoffs for them and carry them far. If he's solid, they've got enough offensive talent to be able to score enough to win.

I actually went with Ottawa... :dunno: I think they can match speed/scoring with Buffalo and Buff's defense has been really shakey. If the Isles (who will still make it a series I think) had more firepower they'd have taken Buffalo down. In any case they've been in a much tougher series than Ottawa.

Everyone forgot about Ottawa down the stretch as it was all about Toronto/Calgary pushing for that last slot but they are playing rediculous hockey right now and have tons of talent. If Emery can keep his mental schitt together I think they have enough to take anyone down.

I said Sabres, but my second choice would be the Rangers.

I go for Buffalo.

I don't think Ottawa can reach the finals, because of Emery.

I would place a little bet on the Devils, as Brodeur can win a Cup on his own. But if he is not a wall (a real one, not just the expression :D), i don't see the Devs going very far.
