Which team will score the most goals in the 2nd round?
Posted on March 5th, 2010 by admin
One should note this takes into consideration length of series and the team’s opponent. For the record, the Chicago Blackhawks finished with the most goals in the first round which did not surprise me. What did surprise me was Anaheim as i had expected a low scoring grinding series. So which team do you feel will have the most goals in the 2nd round and why?
The Penguins. Why? Ridiculously good offense meets ridiculously inexperienced, young goaltender. Varlamov’s playoff experience consists of 7 games against the hapless New York Rangers, who couldn’t score a goal if they were shooting into the ocean.

the series between the pens and capitals is going to be good

I’d say the Red Wings, but not sure this series will go beyond 5 games.

The Red Wings. Their offense is just too powerful for the Ducks and they will be putting up 2-4 goals a game just as they did in Round 1.

Hi
I say flip a coin on Pittsburgh and Washington. I expect it to be a long series and both teams have a lot of offense. This could be a nightmare for both goalies, even if they play great. I look for a lot of back and forth action and a lot of PP time for both teams. Six or seven game series with many games being 5-4 type games. My third choice is Carolina as Boston has had a lot of time to get cold and be over confident. Plus Carolina’s offense has had many games where they scored at least 4 goals sense the deadline. This series is another one with potential to go 6 games. Boston defense is not as solid as New Jerseys.
Both series out west have me thinking low scoring and may be over quick if one team wins the mini battles consistently. A four or five game series would not surprise me, nor should the losing team be considered chokers or bad. Just how I see the possibilities playing out.
Thank You

I don’t think the Hawks will be able to score as readily against Luongo, likewise for the Nucks on Habby, so I expect a low scoring series.
Wings-Ducks will be another low scoring series. Two stingy defenses, and two goalies playing good hockey.
Canes-Bruins will be fairly high scoring, high scoring for the playoffs that is. bruins will under estimate their opponent, and get a nasty surprise.
Pens-Caps also known as the NHL and NBC’s wet dream. Should be the highest scoring series IMO, and unfortunately, I think the Pens will come out with more goals, and a series win…
