My super picks without at a whole lot of commentary (Hellbie beat me to it).
Vegas vs Dallas: It's that time of the year again where the warden looks the other direction and all the refugees from Robidas island run free down the strip and maybe something comes of it. I don't honestly know if Logan Thompson can carry this team in the post season. I say that because I don't think Adian Hill is healthy. Pound a healthy Vegas team can go toe to toe with Dallas. I just don't think they are going to be healthy. Dallas in 6
Colorado vs. Winnipeg: The defensive bulwark vs the offensive juggernaut. I'm going to make the mistake, yet again, of picking the Jets. I just don't think the goal tending in Colorado is good enough this year to carry them out of the first round. Winnipeg in 7
Nashville vs Vancouver: There is nothing scary about Nashville on paper, but they won 47 games. That's pretty good and better than a couple of those divisional 3 seeds. They have vets with a ring out there and enough grit that I don't think they are going to easily beaten. 'Nucks in 6
Los Angeles vs Edmonton: I'm not predisposed to Edmonton just walking over the Kings. That's probably what will happen, but both teams were really, really good and also really, really awful at stretches too (both firing their HC's). The Kings have an offense that is less potent but deeper. Connor Mcjesus and Leo are probably going to be over 9000 for this round so it will be the Oilers in 7.
Tampa Bay vs Florida: Tampa Bay has been really solid in the second half, but Florida has been consistant nearly all season. Tampa has all the rings, but I think Florida is sure thing unless injuries hit them hard. Florida in 6
Toronto vs Bruins: I'm not sure how many good things I can say about Toronto. Goaltending has been an issue for several years and they have yet to address it. Sure they have an excellent offense, but that hasn't gotten them anywhere. Nylander might not be playing in game 1. Bruins, while they have been slumping recently, have Patrick Maroon. As we all know that's Toronto's kryptonite. Bruins in 5
Washington vs NY Rangers: Charlie 'Halak' Lindgren stands tall over the Blueshirts with the broken stick of his brother Ryan Lindgren like he was Dikembe Mutombo. I'll leave the rest of the series up to your imagination Rangers in 5
NY Islanders vs Carolina: I have no idea what the hell is going to happen. I'm just going to assume the Hurricanes might have bought enough duct tape and bubble wrap this year to keep their goalies safe and healthy (haha) Hurricanes in 5
My first to final round prognostication is a Florida vs Dallas final.
