Were the post season to commence today:
EAST
Sabres host Bruins - close but Sabres - 6 maybe
Tampa hosts Habs - close but Tampa - 6 maybe
Canes host Jackets - upset special? - Canes in 7
Islanders host Penguins - coin flip - Pens in 6
Columbus could get bumped still...Ottawa or the Wings most likely to do so.
WEST
Avs host Preds - cake walk - 5 games max
Stars host Wild - 50/50 - someone is gonna be bummed - Stars 7
Ducks host Mammoth - why Verbeek brought in vets - Ducks in 7
Oilers host Knights - why Torts was hired - Vegas in 7
Vegas could still get caught. By LA would be most likely. Preds still have Kings, Seattle, Sharks, Jets and Blues in striking range for 2nd WC.
