"Billybek books the west" for me although I have Vegas taking out the Hosers, which should be a
very tough & interesting series, to wit: they'll kick the living $chitt out of each other.

Calgary, my sentimental choice & as I've mentioned previously, has to have Mike Smith regain his past form.
Goal tending is Calgary's only suspect area & could prove to be the stumbling block on their road
to the Cup as they have a very solid group of skaters. Sooo, the joker in the deck - is in the net.

I don't see the Leafs, Canes, or the Isles making a lot of noise - but.....
I see no weaknesses in the Bolts so if I had to bet any money, I would take them but I have to add,
they'll come up against some stiff competition from a couple of tough opponents - Da Broons, or Caps - maybe?
Honourable mention for the Pens, but the reality & current perception is they are
little too thin defensively to be a serious contender for the long haul.

Cheers
