Round II

Ok, so now i am going to post my Round II predictions, yes i know they are already nearly done but i can't help being crap.

Here goes

Detroit Vs Colorado : Detroit in 5
San Jose Vs Dallas : San Jose in 6

Montreal Vs Philadelphia : Montreal in 5
Pittsburgh Vs New York R : Pittsburgh in 4

I had confidence in the Redwings to progress against the Avalanche, i feel they are better in every aspect of the game with these current set ups. Babcock is hugely underrated as a coach, whereas Quenneville seems to be of a nature with other Denver major sport coaches. He has a method which has been proven in the past but now it is known, and been mastered, and he seems unable to adjust. Also the Avalanche seem to have no passion in their play and no organisation in their tactics and strategy.

San Jose must be so frustrating for their fans, they seem to be destined after the post season yet just cant make that next step, take nothing away from Dallas as they have stepped up and, should they progress, will be very dangerous for their Western conference final opponents.

Montreal should be able to beat Philly who just keep winning. Their backroom staff have to commended, they had a plan for the Capitals which they played to perfection and again seem to have the number of Montreal although they could live to rue some of the unnecessary penalties. Players like Hatcher really should know better.

Pittsburgh, to me, look like the team to beat in the East, although should they play Philly then who knows. You cannot discount the Rangers with their talent and experience but the Penguins look comfortable.
