Todd Cordell: 2013 Western Conference Playoff Predictions: Round One

Blackhawks in 5
Ducks in 7
Sharks in 6
Blues in 6

Blackhawks > Wild in 5
Ducks > Red Wings in 7
Canucks < Sharks in 6
Blues < Kings in 6

Blackhawks in 5
Wings in 7
San Jose in 6
Kings in 6

The only thing I agree with is the Ducks over the Wings. The Ducks have struggled lately, and the Wings are going into the playoffs on a bit of a roll. I think the Wings continue with their momentum and beat the Ducks.

Hawks in 6 > Wild
Ducks in 6 > Wings
Sharks in 6 > Canucks
Kings in 7 > Blues

Canucks and/or Blues goalies can steal this round. Schneider, and then on of Halak or Elliot could really do magic. Elliot had a fantastic finish to the year (lost a fantasy matchup against him). I really want to pick St. Louis finishing off the Kings, and will be rooting for them, but LA was so good last year. Like you said, essentially the same team as last year. They know how to win playoff hockey.. I think they'll pull it out in 7.

Wouldn't call the Sharks winning much of an upset(just look above me ). Seems like everyone has either team winning in 7 games(not including the haters who have the Sharks in 3 games).

Hawks 4
Blues 7
Nucks 6
Ducks 6

Ièm rooting for the sharks I think that series will be one of if not the best in the first round with Toronto Boston being the second best

woohoo 9th slot is not bad at all. If Shinkaruk is still on the board at 9 and Lou takes Ryan Pulock or some Dman, I will drive down to the Pru Center myself and punch him in the Richard.

I swear... if we draft a Dman.. poop will go down.

what's Shinkaruk play? I can't believe it's time to read up on prospects again.. and I can't believe we're looking at top 15 prospects . meh. always look on the bright side of life.

Never wanna jinx anyone, but he's been compared to Phil Kessel with his fantastic speed and shot. He plays LW and C. RW would be better, but he's by far the best fit for us out of who will most likely be on the board
