re: Stanley Cup playoffs--I'm going to do this a different way. I'm going to pick the winners based on who I think has the hotter goaltending crew *right now*.
East
Ott/Tor: Tor--Belfour's in better shape than anyone Ottawa currently has
Bos/Mtl: Bos--Raycroft will get them through one round
Tam/NYI: Tam--Either Tampa goalie is good for one round
Phi/NJD: NJD--C'mon, it's Brodeur
West
Van/Cal: Cal--Kiprusoff is ready right now. Cloutier hasn't impressed me.
SJS/StL: SJS--I just don't think that Osgood has the extra oomph needed
Dal/Col: Dal--Definitely Turco over Aebischer
Det/Nas: Det--Legace can carry Detroit until Cujo is back
