    I have to disagree with you on some points....my devotion to the
Capitals is about to rear its head.

Patrick:

Capitals vs. Flyers -- The Capitals can beat the Flyers and usually do
	and they will take the series in 3-4 games. Flyers don't know
	how to play anything but fighting hockey. They can't win playing
	like that.

Islanders vs. Rangers -- True, the Rangers are slumping, but I know
	many Islander fans that wish their team would play either the
	Caps or the Flyers. There is something about the Rangers that
	send shivers down the spines of Islanders fans. I still think
	it will go 5 games.

Admas:

Boston vs. Montreal -- It won't be three games (after last nite), but 
	the Bruins wil prevail.

Buffalo vs. Quebec -- Quebec has nothing to lose, so don't count them
	out. but Buffalo in 5.


Norris:

Minnesota vs. Chicago -- This division is not noted for its power, so	
	I don't think there are going to be any big winners here.
	Minnesota in 5.

St. Louis vs. Detroit -- St. Louis in 5

Smythe:

Edmonton vs. Winnipeg -- No contest. Oilers in 3.

Calgary vs. Vancover -- Flames in 4.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later on in the playoffs:

Islanders vs. Capitals -- no way Islanders. The Capitals want it bad and
	any Capitals or Fan will tell you. We want the Islanders. It
	will go seven games and at least one game will be in overtime.
	If the Capitals win, no one (repeat, no one) will be able to 
	stop them. They play too tight a game.

Buffalo vs. Boston -- Boston is good and hot, so the Bruins in 7.

Minnesota vs. St. Louis -- Minnesota is a good team, will take it in 6.

Edmonton vs. Calgary -- the Oilers will skate circles around the Flames
	once they warm up, will take it in 5.

 
Islanders vs. Boston -- A tight match, but Boston is no match. Give the
	Islanders credit

Edmonton vs. Minnesota -- Minnesota is no match for the Oilers, but will
	lose in 6.

Islanders vs. Edmonton -- Edmonton is talented, but not enough experience.
	grudingly I give it to New York.


	Whoever wins the Patrick Division will probably win the Stanley
Cup or come damn close. The division is just too powerful a division
with great talent thruout the teams. give every team credit, they play
against the best teams more than anyone else does.
