EDIT: The western conference is all set now, and because I am such a Hockey Numbers fan, I'm linking to JG's calculated "odds" for each western series. He does an excellent job excluding results from games against non-playoff teams in his stats:
Here's the matchups:
1. Detroit Red Wings vs. 8. Calgary Flames
JavaGeek's "odds": Detroit 62%
2. Anaheim Ducks vs. 7. Minnesota Wild
JavaGeek's "odds": Anaheim 58%
3. Vancouver Canucks vs. 6. Dallas Stars
JavaGeek's "odds": Vancouver 51%
4. Nashville Predators vs. 5. San Jose Sharks
JavaGeek's "odds": Nashville 52%
Anyone want to make some early predictions?
