Maybe I am hopeful, but there has to be one huge upset in the first round, and I think Montreal can beat Boston, although it will go 7 games if they are able to pull it off and then collapse in round 2. I also think that Anaheim can knock off the Sharks and St. Louis might be able to do something miraculous. It's a new season starting tonight.

Wow... none of you picked Anaheim? I think they can do it in six... possibly seven.

Anywho, my rinkotology...

i am hoping for rangers and canucks which would be a miracle. boston and san jose/canucks is a little more realistic.

Hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion............but I love the Pens and right now they are skating circles around "the Broadway Bullies". Mario Lemieux got me hooked when he came here. And I've been hooked ever since........I'm a great grandma so I've heard plenty of trash talk...........

I hope that those people who picked the Canes to defeat the Devils will eat their predictions. Devils beat the Canes tonight and hopefull they will continue defeating them the next three games. GO DEVILS!!!!
