A pretty good mix of teams going into this round. I think that we should get some quality hockey in this round of the series.

As for the Devils, well to me, they have to prove themselves in this upcoming series. If they dominate, then they'll have convined me that they are a powerhouse team.
If you watched the series against the Rangers, the Devils played really well and were spectacular on Defense. But if you break the games down, except for maybe two periods of the whole series, at even strength the Devils did NOT outplay the Rangers. And this is why I say that this round will tell if the Devils are that powerful.

I happen to like Buffalo. IMO a very solid and underated team.

I like the Sabres out of the east and while I like the Ducks as my darkhorse out of the west, I'm leaning towards the Oilers.
