I think playing in a much tougher division all year (playing 8 games each against Minnesota, Calgary, and Vancouver) makes the Northwest Division teams highly under-rated. Conversely, the Central Division is pretty weak (Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus), giving a lot of easy points to the Wings in the regular season, and possibly leaving them not quite as prepared. While Theodore doesn't exactly have a great reputation, the Wings are going with Osgoode in this series, who is also a pretty big question mark. It could easily go either way but I think the Avs will come through.

Any yea, Habs vs Pens in conference final would be sick. I just realized I fucked up the series in the East, putting NYR and Philly backwards. So ignore the analysis, but I'll keep the picks.
