All right..., I blew up a little in the second round. Who would've thought the Flyers would take out the top seed and, San Jose would implode? Two out of four isn't bad..., hoping to go 2 for 2 this time around!

 Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia - Wow..., can't believe the Flyers. True, they're a good, fast moving team and judging by the way they handled Montreal, they can score too! They ousted the Caps in six, then the Habs in six with some impressive hockey and Briere's been a Conn Smythe candidate thus far. On the other side, Hossa's finally coming around, Malkin and Crosby have been strong and their defense has been better than expected. This is going to be a great series..., Philly reminds of me of the Oilers a few years ago; young, fast, full of heart.  But then again..., hearts can be broken right?

Detroit vs Dallas - Two words..., Johan Franzen. If it wasn't for this guy, Detroit would've been lucky to sweep Colorado but thanks to Av injuries, who knows? Osgood's been sharp, Franzen and Zetterberg have been scoring and that defense has been good. But there's something about Dallas that scares the crap out of me..., the goaltender. Turco's been red hot since the end of the year and last night, making 63 incredible saves in 6 periods has been nothing short of gold in Dallas! Richards has to pick up his game a little and Morrow..., Mr. Overtime, has to keep his pace going. If this happens, it's going to be another long series in the West. Dallas has elminated my preseason Cup favorite and semi finalist so, I hope Detroit pulls this out!

Yeah, I know..., I pick both series in seven but hey, been wrong before! But this time..., I can feel it! Or is that a cold chill?
