Less certain about the west. However the east will look like this:

Rangers over Sens (Sens could get lucky if Lundqvist is bad)
Bruins over Caps
NJ over Panthers
Pens over Flyers (won't be easy, but pens should be able to take it)

Rd 2
Rangers over NJ
Pens over Bruins (won't be easy, but they should be able to do it)

Pens over Rangers



And to Philly fans... this series is going to be a war... however without Pronger and potentially without Grossmann and Briere (not sure of their status), Pens have the edge. That being said, I'd still rather face any team instead of Philly in the first round.

And one of the reasons I hate how the format is. Florida should be 6th or whatever their points give em... and the Pens and Flyers wouldn't have to match up in the first round.

Grossmann, Briere and Giroux will play next week.. Pronger might be done with hockey, i hope not, but he is still in bad shape i heard

Reading some Flyers boards, Grossmann is day to day, and Briere is out indefinitely. I fully expect Giroux back game 1.

Am a huge Pronger fan, and while I hope he won't play against my Pens, I hope that come October he can play again.

Edit:
As of April 2nd:

INJURY UPDATE: #Flyers Danny Briere - out indefinitely with upper back contusion. Nicklas Grossmann - out 7-10 days with lower body injury

Really looking forward to Flyers vs Penguins. That is gonna be a tough one for sure. Cant call it.

 

[Canadian Bear]

As much I am looking forward to watching my Bruins defend the Stanley cup, starting with the Capitals, the Flyers/Penguins series will be quite a battle.

LET'S GO

 

[spillidge]

Hope to see those Bruins in the Finals again.

If Tim Thomas keeps playing the same way, shouldn't be an issue :shitstorm:

With the Bruins having kept most of their Stanley Cup winning team, while adding a few more depth players and Tim Thomas maintaining his brilliance, this will be interesting.
