No one asked for them, but here are my predictions for the Divisional Finals:

   Edmonton - Winnipeg
      The Jets beat the Oilers in 3 games straight after losing the first
      5 this season. However, Winnipeg is missing Hawerchuk for the first
      2 games, minimum. Oilers in 6.
   Chicago - Minnesota
      The regular season series was 4-3-1 for Chicago. There are no serious
      injuries. Chicago will not be bounced around like St. Louis was by
      the North Stars - Willi Plett will not pick on the Hawk left wingers.
      The Hawks in 5, maybe 6.
   Montreal - Quebec
      Montreal won the regular season series 6-1-1, but Mondou is out. Both
      teams are going to be tired after full 5 game preliminary series. Look
      for lots of blood, and lots of home ice wins. Montreal in 7 because of
      extra home game.
   Philadelphia - New York
      The regular season was a draw 3-3-1, no injuries that I know of. The
      Islanders will be tired after a tough 5 game series against the Caps.
      The Flyers are a young team with lots of pressure on it - the Islanders
      KNOW how to win. Islanders in 5. Look for Hrudey to play game 1.
