TBD – To Be Determined
Lotta "upsets" in the first round - also looks like I forgot to make a totally ignorant set of picks; I'll redeem that right now.
Penguins in 5 Rangers in 7 Blackhawks in 5 Sharks in 6
First of all, as Leafs fan, let me first say DAMMIT
Kings in six Blackhawks in six Rangers in six Penguins in four
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
Kings and Hawks in six , and Rangers and Pens in seven. If the Pens are dumb enough to go back to the king of league average goalies in Fleury I could see them losing his series. They were very lucky to win the Isles series because Nabokov was somehow worse than Fleury and Vokoun bailed them out.
My Picks As A Loyal & Loving Flames Fan: Hart Trophy: Jarome Iginla [Flames] Calder Trophy: Dany Heatley [Thrashers] Jack Adams Award: Brian Sutter [Blackhawks] Lady Byng Trophy: Joe Sakic [Avalanche] Norris Trophy: Rob Black [Avalanche] Selke Trophy:
