While I would love to see Detroit and Colorado beat each other up in 7 games (a series that would definitely have every game broadcast on national US television...haha. If Detroit or Colorado are playing, they're always on ESPN or ABC), weakening them for whoever their conference final opponent would be, that would only happen in the 2nd round if Vancouver can pull off the next 2 against Calgary, and they have to do that without Cloutier...they have the talent, perhaps, to do it, but I wouldn't bet on it.
But don't discount a Colorado/San Jose 2nd round series as not being entertaining. San Jose's one of those "best teams no one knows anything about", and I think there would be some stellar offensive play mixed with a great goaltending match-up to see. I for one am looking forward to it; the Sharks' series against St. Louis was way too defensive minded. =) And, also referring to 2 years ago, perhaps it will be the Sharks who would use their home ice to enact justice against the Colorado team that kept them out of the conference finals. ;)
Great hockey thus far, every series. I hope the rest of the play-offs can keep this pace up!
