Round 2 Results and how NHL Jeff did with Predictions

A quick look back at round 2's winners:

Eastern Conference Results
Buffalo vs. NY Rangers
Prediction: Sabres in 6.
Outcome: Sabres in 6.

New Jersey vs. Ottawa
Prediction: Sens in 7.
Outcome: Sens in 5.
The Sens offense overpowered the Devils defesnse even faster than I expected, and while it wasn't his fault, Marty Brodeur was not true to his usual playoff form.


Western Conference Results
Detroit vs. San Jose
Prediction: Sharks in 6
Outcome: Wings in 6
While Joe Thornton's line continued to produce somewhat, the Sharks other lines faltered. Their powerplay was horrendous, which is what lost the series for them. In my opinion, Nabokov's giveaway goal in game 5 was the turning point in the series. Nabokov played well, and I think he is a proven playoff goaltender, but that was just a costly mistake. With Nick Lidstrom and Dominik Hasek, Detroit was able to keep pucks out of its net despite having a depleted blueline corps.

Anaheim vs. Vancouver
Prediction: Anaheim in 6
Outcome: Anaheim in 5


NHL Jeff's Record: 8-4 (3 wins with exact game counts)
