No. 2 Anaheim Ducks vs. No. 4 Ottawa Senators

Bill Davidge

Anaheim in 6 because ... of the travel. Ottawa has not had to travel a long distance - only three games outside of the Eastern Time Zone. Anaheim has the advantage in goal and on defense.

George Matthews

Anaheim in 7 because ... of the home ice advantage and the quick turn around in travel between games four and five, and between games six and seven. There is so much balance between the two teams and Bryan Murray has his fingerprints all over this series - he is Ottawa's head coach and was the General Manager in Anaheim when they drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.

 

Danny Gare

Ottawa in 6 because ... The Senators offense is much stronger, especially Alfredsson, Heatley and Spezza. Ottawa gets good secondary scoring, is well coached and their goaltending has raised the bar. IT all depends on Ottawa winning one of the first two games, which I think they will. The questions for Anaheim are: (a) can they score enough? and (b) can they stop Ottawa's power play?

Jeff Rimer

Ottawa in 7 because ... I have to make a choice - this is a toss up. It is going to be a whale of a series. I give the edge to Anaheim in goal and the edge to Ottawa on defense - collectively - and even up front on offense.  Ottawa wins game seven in overtime to take the Cup.
