MassMutual East Division

Boston Bruins (3) vs. New York Islanders (4)
The Bruins and Islanders have both advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the third year in a row. This marks the first time the Islanders have advanced in the playoffs since they advanced in seven straight seasons from 1978-79 until 1984-85, a run that included their early 1980s dynasty where they won four straight Stanley Cups (1980 through 1983). The two teams have met in the playoffs twice to date, with the Islanders winning both previous meetings.
Prediction: Boston in seven games.

Discover Central Division

Carolina Hurricanes (1) vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (3)
The defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, face the Carolina Hurricanes for the first time in franchise history in the second round of the playoffs. Both teams defeated teams they faced for the first time in franchise history in the opening round; Tampa Bay eliminated the Florida Panthers in the opening round, while Carolina defeated the Nashville Predators in their opening round series. In the regular season, the Hurricanes and Lightning met eight times; Carolina won four, while Tampa won the other four.
Prediction: Tampa Bay in seven games.

Honda West Division

Colorado Avalanche (1) vs. Vegas Golden Knights (2)
The NHL's top team during the regular season, the Colorado Avalanche, swept the St. Louis Blues in the opening round of the playoffs. In the second round, they face the Vegas Golden Knights, who had a more difficult first round series; Vegas required the full seven games to knock out the Minnesota Wild in the opening round. This marks the first playoffs meeting between the Avalanche and Golden Knights to date.
Prediction: Colorado in six games.

I hope the top 4 left would be NYI, CAR, COL and WPG/MTL.

Boston probably gonna take the Central matchup, but by god am I rooting for the Canes to absolutely demolish that fucking Tampa team...

Bell North Division

Winnipeg Jets (3) vs. Montréal Canadiens (4)
The Montréal Canadiens pulled off the biggest upset of the opening round of the playoffs by shocking the Toronto Maple Leafs. Being down by a three games to one deficit, the Canadiens managed to win the next three games to pull off the upset. The series followed the same template as their 2010 upset against the Washington Capitals. Montréal won the first game, only to lose the next three, before winning the series in seven. In the second round this year, they face the Winnipeg Jets. This marks the first time the Jets and Canadiens meet in the playoffs. Winnipeg won six of the nine regular season meetings against Montréal.
Prediction: Montréal in seven games.

I'm betting Winnpeg wins in 5. But I'm no analyst, just very casual.

Guys, I don't watch hockey at all. My brother and my mom are both die-hard montreal fans. I know NOTHING about the team or the teams they are playing.

When the playoffs started, I jokingly said to them one day "Habs in 7 over the leafs".
At the start of the next round I said, "ahh, habs will sweep the jets."
Today they asked me for my clairvoyance. I said, "Habs in 6. Double Overtime in the last game."

*shrug* may as well keep going with them at this point.
