Washington isn't going to win. Varlamov/Theodore would have to be flawless, and they have no defense on the ice. If Ovechkin chokes in some form or another, they're done for. In my opinion, no Eastern conference team will win. The West is far too strong.
But here are my picks:
Washington, Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh go through in the East, and Colorado, Chicago, Vancouver and Detroit go through in the West
Then Washington and Pittsburgh go through, and Chicago and Vancouver go through, then it'll be Pittsburgh and Chicago with Chicago taking it all.
This year will be very interesting. I could definitely see New Jersey beating Philly, LA beating Vancouver, hell, even Boston solving Buffalo with Tuukka "Almost a Leaf" Rask standing on his head and outdueling Miller. Who knows.
WHAM.
