Note: The last two reviews will be up sometime this weekend. So again, don't expect anything of note for SNH.
Los Angeles Kings vs. St. Louis Blues
This series won't end for a month. It's vezina-nominated Quick vs. statically mind-blowing Elliott. What might be the difference is defensive support. While the Blues are quick to close lanes and block shots, the Kings rely too heavily on Quick. This series has all the potential to go the distance (and by that, I mean every game goes for at least 5 OT's). St. Louis in 6.
Nashville Predators vs. Phoenix Coyotes
A.K.A. The Blackberry Series. Yes, 2 of the 3 teams Balsillie try to buy years ago are now facing each other in the second round. Again, it's a vezina-nominated goalie (Rinne) vs. one with a career year ("Flopper" Smith). What might be a difference in this series is experience. The Coyote franchise has never played in the second round, while Nashville broke through that barrier last year and are now hungry for more. Unlike the aforementioned series, this one might end earlier. Nashville in 5.
