Revisiting my picks

Having suffered through a 0-for-Western-Conference sweep in my first -- and rather poor -- upset-heavy attempt at this NHL playoff's picks, I feel obligated to take a realistic approach to the conference semifinals.

Eastern Conference

Boston Bruins (1) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (4)
Bruins in six games

Washington Capitals (2) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (3)
Penguins in seven games

Western Conference

Detroit Red Wings (1) vs. Anaheim Ducks (4)
Ducks in seven games

Vancouver Canucks (2) vs Chicago Blackhawks (3)
Blackhawks in six games

  2. The Bruins-Hurricanes was a tough call. We like and have ties to both teams. I believe Boston has a bit more scoring depth.

    As for the Wings, I don't want them even get a chance to repeat. Anaheim is much better equipped than Columbus to challenge Detroit.

    I wonder what others think? C'mon, folks, join in.

  3. I agree with the Bruins have more scoring Depth but went with the Canes edging them on heart.

    I can never doubt my hometown Wings, so I have to admit bias on that one.
