Alrighty. Here's Gertner's First Round playoff locks.
West
1.Detroit vs 8. Nashville- Detroit in 6
Vokoun will steal a couple games, but Detroit will be too powerful in the end
2. San Jose vs 7.St.Louis- San Jose in 7
Gonna go with the sharks in a close one.
3. Canuckleheads vs 6. Calgary- Canuckleheads in 6
God, I hope Calgary wins, but I just don't see it here.
4. Colorado vs 5. Dallas- Dallas in 5
I see the Avs tanking it. Plus Turco is alot better than Aebischer.
East
1. Tampa Bay vs 8. NYLanders- Tampa in 4
No proven goalie, didn't improve a team at all that wasn't good last year. Easy win.
2. Boston vs 7. Montreal- Boston in 6
If this were any other team, I'd say Boston gets upset, but since it's Montreal, Boston wins
3. Phili vs 6. New Jersey- New Jersey in 5
Phili is a fraud. Esche and Burke will not win you a playoff series
4. Toronto vs 5. Ottawa- Toronto in 5
Here's the problem with Ottawa. They always add tough players, but their tough players aren't really skilled, like Toronto's are. The Sens continue to miss the point of adding toughness. Plus Lalime has been shaking recently, and against a good scoring team such as T.O, this could be trouble. For the Leafs sake I hope their D holds up. Please God hold up. Leafs in 5.
