This is going to be a long one, I can see it going to 7 games, Even if Minnesota won all the games against Phoenix, Phoenix in 7

I think the weakness of San Jose is the attack it will cost them later. So Chicago in 6

I think Winnipeg has a great chance to get pass the first round, they have good experience and leadership players and a better goalie. Winnipeg in 7
