Quick is proven, the Kings will win the Jennings. I think secondary scoring will be their biggest unknown.

Agreed on the Hawks D-men, the Blues' game plan will be to dump and hit. Can Keith, Hjallmarsson, Leddy and Oduya take the beatings for 6-7 games? Big question, that and the health of Toews and Kane.

Ask Adam about Rask, his Bruins fan opinion is always entertaining....

Agreed on all points. Health is definitely the issue with Chicago...regardless of of the last 6 games, the Blues will come to win the cup. I am betting that Miller is out for blood, and we will see something really special this playoffs.

Kings have the same problem (different degrees obviously) as Columbus. Sharks have great primary talent, but I don't think they will overwhelm Quick. Who knows, Sharks always find a way to lose the big one. :S

I really like the Aves, much like Tampa, so much momentum and synergy there, but think they are too young to go deep. Obviously would love to be proven wrong.

Rangers shot themselves in the foot with that late trade. Don't they know St. Louis is a #2, not the main attraction? Who is the clear #1 on the Rangers? Nash? Not even playing with Martin. It's like Rangers wanted all rounded players...never seen that really work out other than the legendary millennial Red Wings, except they are pretty much all HoFers. Will the Rangers get their **** together by the time they meet the Penguins? I think not.
