The Blackhawks and Bruins series will be very interesting. I am kind of afraid of Chara. That guy is a monster. Anyway, GO HAWKS!
What a game last night. Really nerve racking in those 2 OT periods. Well deserved, kind of glad LA tied it in the third after that no call penalty goal. That was some Wild West justice for them to score with seconds left. Both goalies played great in the 2 OT periods. Look forward to Wednesday. Lets go Hawks!
There was no penalty for them to call on Bickel. What's his name on the Kings was already in the process of falling down before Bickel was very close to him.
So it comes down to Boston vs Chicago... Original Six Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1979. Game 1 Wednesday at 8pm.
Can't believe it's been that long. Rangers vs. Canadiens in 1979.
The announcer disagrees with you.
But I don't think it matters. Without that penalty/goal, the Kings probably don't score their hail mary goal and we still go to OT.

As a fellow Faux Six fan (Detroit), this is probably the last thought that crossed my mind. This series is going to be so much more than that.
I'll take the Bruins as a fan, but wouldn't be surprised to see the Blackhawks win. They're [Chicago] deeper than Pitt, they're easily the fastest team - perhaps too fast to bog down, and their defense is on another level than anyone Boston has faced to date.
I just hate the Blackhawks after living in Chicago for 5 years, so... go Bruins. Boston also gets props for their wacky Youtube bear commercials.
Oh yeah, it's going to be an awesome series. I can't wait for Wednesday. There's not going to be any sweeps here.. this series is going at least 6 and probably 7. I have no idea what to expect though, Chicago is definitely a great team but people said that about Pittsburgh too.
Kinda weird to look ahead to next year when my team is about to start the Stanley Cup Finals, but just curious since you're a wings fan, how do you feel about their move to the east next year? As a B's fan I'm looking forward to some good Bruins-Wings matchups.
Almost time for Game 1!
It's going to be weird and awesome. I really don't know what to expect with the move to the East. The play is different, so I'm a bit hesitant about the outcome for the Wings' first year in the conference. I think the match ups will be great though.

even though my kings are out, i love hockey. this is such a barn burner to start the finals. go boston!
Wow. Saturdays game will be pretty interesting. This is going to be an awesome matchup. This must have been a disappointing loss for Boston. Anyway, GO HAWKS!!
. Anyway, GO HAWKS!!Good to see the Hawks won. I went to bed after the 2nd OT since it was pushing midnight and I have an 8 month old son who likes to get up at 4:45-5:00 in the morning. Although he surprised me with a 2am wake up for a snack. Today is going to be a long day.
Wow, this is an amazingly close series. I thought the B's were goners in the first. If the B's play as physically as they did in the second half of this second game they have a good chance. It's still anyone's series. This one could go seven.
Hawks came out fighting in the first, but looked tired in the 2nd and 3rd.
Boston look as if they were Zombies in the first. This is gonna be a great series, but please no more Overtime games.
