What do you think Montreal's chances are of beating Carolina in the first round?

Assuming we can get by Ottawa -- and I believe we can -- my proud Buffalo Sabres will win Lord Stanley's Cup and all of WNY (and those of us Sabres fans scattered about the rest of the world) will rejoice forevermore! :)\n\nGO SABRES!!!

No Carolina is up 3-1 in the series. Tonight is game five and could be the end for Edmonton. The series has been a good one. Carolina won games 1, 2 and 4. Carolina has been skating circles around the Oilers.

If Carolina would stop making up excuses why they lost and concentrate on playing better they could probably come back.\nMontreal is a team you don't want to play in the first round as over the years they have beaten a lot of the better teams. Especially Boston.

I hope they win cuz I would like to see an 8 seed win the stanly cup. a 2 seed winning isn't nothing but an 8 seed win that would be history and edmonton hasnt come this far to not win.

I would love to see the Los Angeles Kings win . . . but I don't think that is going to happen.\n\nRangers have a good team with Jager and Lundqvist in Goal . . . but so does the Thrashers with Kovalchuk and Savard.  Thing is the 'Canes have a better team than both . . . \n\nSo in the East . . . I will say the 'Canes.\n\nFor the West . . . that is a tougher picture . . . because all the teams have been really unimpressive to me . . . but from what I observed in games . . . the Red Wings . . . have better teamwork and cohesion.\n\nSo the West will be the Red Wings.\n\nAs for the Stanley Cup . . . I would say it will be close . . . six games . . . . 'Canes.\n\nThey better win . . . because I had money on them before the season started.  Also had money on the Kings too . . . but I know that won't pay off . . . lol

didnt buffalo, ottawa, new jersey & carolina end up with about the same amount of points during the regular season?\nSo it shouldn't be surprising that the lower seeded sabres beat the sens 7 it shouldnt be surprising that carolina beat new jersey, whats surprising to me is the fact that nobody gave buffalo a chance except buffalo fans. The sens are perennial chokers  when it comes to playoff hockey & i think new jersey is getting a bit too old

There is still a mathmatical chance they can make it. The way most teams are playing in this tournament (hot and cold) anything can happen!\nI hope they get through to the next round because they are trying hard and playing honestly...Good luck T&T !!

i think it is asked too much. why don't they ask something else instead?  as far as the odds of edmonton, buffalo, carolina and anaheim i'd say were pretty low.  no one predicted early in the season that there would be 2 lower seeds in the west battling in the conference finals.  in the east no one foresaw carolina or buffalo battling it out in the eastern conference finals.  i did some research and found some sites with the odds. the first site(vegas insider) edmonton was predicted to have a 25-1 chance, anaheim a 40-1 chance, buffalo a 75-1 chance, and carolina a 100-1 chance.  the second site (usa today) predicted buffalo odds at 30-1, carolina 45-1, anaheim 50-1, and edmonton 90-1.

Carolina.  The Oilers relied too much on Roloson.  If the Canes don't have any more games like most of game one, they'll win.

Edmonton is a neat underdog story, but Carolina is stomping them and I don't see the Oilers getting back into it without their first string goalie.

If I new more about the teams I would be able to take a guess.  How well do you think the team from Columbus will do?

not crazy. because that proves that carolina CAN beat edmonton. even if they're losing horribly like that. NICE COMEBACK, huh? and i liked that shorthanded goal for carolina TOTAL remake of that pronger penalty shot goal.

i think Edmonton Oilers will win however, it will be one hell of a game seeing as it is being played in Carolina.\nwow anything can happen\nenjoy the game!!

not too much.  they may have beat detroit but they will not get past round two.  i say whoever plays them will win in 5 games.
