New Jersey vs. Philly: I would have to say Philly in 5 (maybe 6). NJ magic isn't special any more and Marty's been up and down all year.

Buffalo vs. Boston: Boston always had high hopes but injuries and lack of production from the guys that matter, they're going down. Miller > Boston. Buffalo in 6-7.

Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa: Reluctantly Pitts in 6.

San Jose vs. Colorado: Definitely a great series. I want to see Colorado go far in the playoffs but they seem to lack experience. Probably San Jose in 6-7.

Chicago vs. Nashville: I like the Hawks and they will go deep. I want to say Chicago in 6 if they can stay healthy.

Vancouver vs. LA: Vancouver depends on one line and one goaltender, has worked out well for them thus far. Don't think LA has the experience. I would say Vancouver in 5-6.

Phoenix vs. Detroit: Detroit has been pretty inconsistent. I'm going to have to go with Phoenix in 7.
