#2 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Phoenix Coyotes Yotes still have a better D, but this is where I don't like O'Riell as the #1C, and Ward > Halak. Sharkies in 6
#3 Minnesota Wild vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings This is a tough matchup, D is close, Lehtonen > Pavelec, but Minny's offense is better. I think home ice plays a role here so I got the Wild in 7

#2 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Phoenix Coyotes - It's really close for me but I just don't think the Coyotes' advantage on D is enough to overcome the disadvantages on offense and goaltending.

Did you just say Halak was at a disadvantage to Ward?

Cam Ward isn't that good guys. I can't believe you let Jrice swindle you into thinking Ward is a fantastic goalie.

Seriously. You guys must be idiots if you think that CAM ****ING WARD is Better than Halak.

While Halak is clearly a better goalie than Ward is. Their offense just can't score enough to match the offense of the Sharks.

Detroit has the balanced, playoff team here. The D and Pavelec will let the wild down.

Cam Ward isn't that good guys. I can't believe you let Jrice swindle you into thinking Ward is a fantastic goalie.

Nobody thinks he's a top five goalie except Jrice, I do think he's top ten though.

1. #2 San Jose Sharks vs #8 Phoenix Coyotes

Goalies are fairly even and while again I feel Phoenix has a better d Jrice's d is also solid and I like his forwards scoring more goals in this series very close though

He's around there, I wouldn't put him past
Lundqvist, Rinne, Quick, Price, Luongo, Halak, Kipprusoff, Miller, Howard

That's 9 guys, he can be argued against a bunch of guys too. There are good handful of goalies one can argue just better than Cam Ward.

1. #2 San Jose Sharks vs #8 Phoenix Coyotes- i think phoenix is able to steal the series mainly due to there overall team defence and advantage in net. while the sharks have a better offence i think phoenix as a team and more importantly due to there strong defence will be able to slow them down.

2. #3 Minnesota Wild vs #5 Detroit Red Wings- this series came down to goaltending for me since i feel the offences and defences cancel out(minnys strong offence vs detroits strong defence and vice versa) and even though both goalies havent proven themselves that much i feel that lehtonen is the better goalie so im going to have to go with detroit here
