Higher seeds in trouble:

Penguins (Flyers are good), Sharks (Ducks are gritty), Canucks (Blues are hot) and Blackhawks (Flames are more experienced)

I think it should be restarted without the annoying poll that takes up way too much space.

Red Wings could also be on upset alert against Columbus. They split six games this season.

Pens in trouble? The Flyers still have little goaltending and while they're already not a great skating bunch, Pittsburgh will make their feet look stuck in cement.

They'll probably be fine, but I don't think this is a great matchup for them.

I vote we keep the other one, because you have to scroll down a while on this one to even GET to the posts with the damn 25-choice poll at the top. Plus, the other one actually has the pairings in the first post, as opposed to the pairings as of yesterday.

She's right in this case, but let's not get carried away with IJAG always being right.
Of course, she has a much higher "right" percentage than some people.
