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.
