NJD have definately been a little disappointing but after ATL season I thought they would be a stronger team in the playoffs then they are and playing tonight in The Garden won't help their cause much.

I agree with the Tampa-New Jersey series. But what surprises me more is the NYR/ATL series! Atlanta winning at home! Defenitley thought that they would take the series.
i think its vancouver over dallas i thought dallas would sweep the series the have some good players these are dallas's good players: Morrow Zubov Modano Turco Lindros Jokinen and Ladislav Nagy these are the canucks ok players: Henrik and Daniel Sedin and Luongo thats it
NYR-ATL. I never expected NYR to do THIS well. They're up 3-0 on Atlanta, with a 7-0 blowout last night!! I was sure Atlanta would win at least ONE of these games, and I couldn't believe it when they lost so bad last night. They better pull it together tonight or else they'll be no more need for the "First team out of the playoffs" topic.
I don't know it's a real toss up. I don't think anyone expects one team that makes it to the playoffs to get dominated but MIN kinda started to slack off the last few weeks of the season and I haven't seen them execute their forecheck this series like I have throughout the season

I though that Martin would win the series just by himself, they could just have him on the ice and he would still win but he has been playing not to his calibare and that's why there tied rite now.
No big surprises. Maybe Vancouver up on Dallas a little bit. Certainly NYR beating the heck out of Atlantla was no surprise. When your best players are floaters like Kovalchuk and Hossa, you have no chance.
