Which lower-seeded team has the best chance at a 1st round upset?

[HasbeenHallzy]

Hey the Leafs were picked to be 30th.
Now 16th...

Keep underestimating us.

I wouldn't say assuming the Powerhouse of the NHL would beat a young team who barely squeeked in as "underestimating". I think it's fair to say not many people underrate the Leafs anymore.

Blues have my pick, though I did predict the Bruins to win too.

St.Louis for me.

 

[General Zodd]

The Rangers have the best chance at taking down Montreal.

 

[Nostradumbass]

I like both the Flames and Sharks in their matchups

The same Flames who have lost 25 games in a row in Anaheim?

 

[Nordique]

I like the Sharks to come alive and make a deep run.

I think we're estimated just fine. Until we get to the point where we aren't celebrating making the post-season as the last wildcard like its the Stanley Cup people will continue to bet against us, and rightly so. You have to earn the reputation, and for a decade we have earned a bad one. In a couple years the rep will change. It's also Washington.

Sharks and Rangers should be the favorites in their series

Oilers are 3-1-1 vs Sharks this year, destroying them in the previous 3 games. They also finished higher than San Jose

Habs are 3-0 vs Rangers this year, sweeping the season series. They won their division title as well, while New York is a wild card

The odds are based on this season's performance, how do you justify your statement?

Ducks are 4-1 vs Flames in the season series as well

Leafs.

Andy will stand on his head and the big 3 will, once again, show that they are no ordinary rookies.
