I'm kinda loving how few people seem to think the Blackhawks will win the SC.

 

Pominville officially out tonight.

 

I seem to be seeing a lot of people picking them to lose in the finals.

 

The analysts love the Eastern Conference (more Canadian teams?) and they love the Pens. Evidently Crosby will play either in the 2nd round or sometime in round one- right after their first loss of the series.

 

Good news for Hawks fans: Barry Melrose picked the Pens so that kiss of death has been avoided.

 

I think it works in the Hawks favor to have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder so I don't mind anyone picking against them.

My only concern about the Hawks is that they haven't had to play with a sense of urgency for about two months now. They've continued to win anyway, though, so it's not much of a concern.

The East is pretty wide open. You could make a case for 5 of the 8 teams making the finals.

 

The Pens: The obvious choice as #1 seed

The Bruins: Lot's of talent, good goal tender and brutal physical team

The Rangers: Great goalie and talented players that are just lately starting to turn it up

The Senators: They'd have the Vezina trophy winner if hwe hadn't gotten hurt. They don't allow many goals and have gotten key players back. They could be primed for a Kings like run.

The Caps: Ovechkin alone makes them dangerous. They got hot at the right time.

 

The Leafs, Habs and Isles could all win their 1st round series which really makes it hard to predict.

 

honestly, anyone picking the pens to make it is just being lazy and/or didn't get the memo about crosby. they're a puck possession team that in the last month of the season was 2nd worst in the east in 5V5 corsi. of course, they're getting some reinforcements so who knows if that trend holds up. if it does, they probably won't make it out of the 2nd round. the isles are legit, but i just don't see them winning more than two games against this squad, however depleted

 

if i was a betting man, my money would be on boston-chi, which will/would be a LOT of fun

Even if the wild win this one it doesn't matter. This team can't beat us 4 times

Toews just got absolutely tackled right into Harding. This should be a comfortable win. But now the bounces can go either way.
