I still think the NJ/Ott series will go the distance. Often first games are offensive explosions before they settle down (witness Dal/Van first round ... what, 9 goals in game one and about 7 for the rest of the series!)
I pray Buf/NYR goes 7 too as I have all Sabres and Rangers in my draft left. Doubt it though, it probably goes 5 with NY winning one at home.
SJ will beat Det, though it could go to 6 or 7. Detroit still has too many "playoff-soft" players up front and Dom is starting to show his age this season.
Ana will sweep Vancouver. Any team that relies on the Sedins for offence is going nowhere - they took 7 to beat a Dallas team with, yikes, Mike Ribeiro as their leading scorer.
Buf/Ott will go 7 with Buf barely getting by. I see Ott winning both in Buffalo before the Sabres wake up and realize they are in a series.
Ana will take SJ in as little as 5. Ana has all the ingredients needed in the West.
The Cup ... Buf over Ana and it goes all 7 .. and maybe overtime.
