The East, in my mind, doesn't have 1 SERIOUS contender.....They may end up winning, just to make me look like a dick, but I just don't see any team in the East matching up well with the top 4 or 5 teams in the West.

Exactly. Like I said the threats in the East have to be the Devils, only because of Marty Brodeur, and then Pittsburgh, and then Montreal. Caps in my mind are a cinderella story, but I dont see them making it to the finals. Rangers....maybe second round but thats as far as they go. I dont even need to talk about Boston or Philly. Overall, I dont see any of the 3 East contenders even coming close to matching up with the top 3 west. Dallas has to get by Anaheim first round, so I dont really count them as a threat. Anything is possible but i think very unlikely. I wouldn't mind seeing Calgary do well, and they can if they draw Minnesota first round, but if Colorado wins tomorrow, then they drop to 7th and draw San Jose first round.
