from the Times & Transcript,
Robbie Laird, director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings, today offers his predictions for the second round of the 2008 National Hockey League Stanley Cup playoffs… Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers
Both teams looked real good in the opening round, both are healthy and ready to go. You have a potential Vezina trophy winner in Lundqvist vs. a hot at the right time Fleury.
Gomez, Jagr and Drury are all on different lines so the Rangers have a special three line mix. Pens have the game breakers in Crosby and Malkin. The Rangers are very well coached.

Prediction: Pittsburgh in seven.
