The cup is the Hawks to lose. The only problem with them winning it is the Leafs will take over as the team with the longest cup drought.

Two weeks ago, nobody would have ever thought that Philly could come back from a 0-3 deficit and take the series, myself included. Two weeks ago, according to DW, Boston was a clear lock to win the East. Hey, I'm not saying that it's likely that San Jose will win four in a row. I mean, it's a near statistical impossibility for it to happen twice in the same decade, let alone year, and Chicago is a damn great team. But San Jose looked pretty good out there tonight. And these playoffs should have taught us all to expect the unexpected. We'll see what happens, eh?


True but but Chicago ain't Boston, they are in all aspects superior
and they are much healthier than the Bruins were when it all crumbled.


+1

when Boston lost 4 straight they were down Krejci. That may not sound like much, but he gets hurt and they lose 4 in a row. He doesn't have the name power like Savard, but he was the key to their offence. Where Chicago has Toews, Kane, Hossa (who isn't scoring but is still a threat), Byfuglien, Sharp, etc.. not to mention the power on the back-end like Keith, Seabrook, and Campbell.

Chicago will not collapse.


But DW, I thought the Bruins "play a good team game and they are on a roll, full of confidence" and have some of that awesome defence. Defence is what lost them that series, not offense. Krejci is a good player, but if they could win a series without Savard, they could win one without him- Krecji was after all pretty useless all year (I'd know, I had him on fantasy hockey).

What I'm trying to say here is not that San Jose has much of a chance of winning this series. I'm just laughing at you all for being so certain in your predictions all throughout these playoffs, and that these predictions keep on turning out to be wrong. If Montreal can beat Washington and Pittsburgh, the top five teams in the East are knocked out before the bottom three, Philly can come back from an 0-3 deficit, I just have no idea how you all seem to think that playoffs are predictable and that Chicago is obviously going to win the cup against whatever team emerges from the East.

Long winded responses FTL

you can honestly tell me you didn't see Boston winning that series? They did play a good team game, they were great defensively, and Krejci was much more important to their offence then Savard was. So saying I was foolish for picking Boston then I honestly don't know what to say to you. Teams usually don't collapse like that, but that series showed how riding a rookie goalie can hurt you as well as losing a skilled dependable forward can also hurt you. Krejci goes down, Lucic and Satan do jack shit.

Chicago will win the cup. Flyers will win their series in 5 or 6.

I agree with DW that Chicago is gonna have to fuck up majorly to not win the cup at this point.

Of course I thought Boston was going to win. You are taking this way too seriously. I am just laughing at how seriously you are all making predictions now as if everything will turn out how it is most likely too. When this playoffs has had every single unlikely thing happening.

if i'm not going to make serious predictions then why even bother making a prediction at all?

i'm not writing what I am saying in stone, I am just making a prediction and defending my stance when challenged. What's so wrong about that?

You gotta admit though that was a garbage call against Heatley.

does it really matter though? The Sharks had no chance, and in an elimination game you don't take 3 straight penalties no matter how bad the calls are.

The Hawks had plenty of garbage calls go against them in game 1, so it all evens out if you ask me. It sounds strange, but for a sweep that was a very competitive series. Outside of game 2, each one was a nail biter and could have gone either way. In the end, I'd have to say goaltending was the difference. Na-CHOKE-ov let in a few softies throughout the series that cost his team games while Niemi was outstanding.

Les Habbies are done. They put up a good fight, but the Flyers were too big and too strong. The same reason why Boston would of beat them if they made it this far.

Hawks or Flyers?

I like how the Habbies get eliminated and it goes silent in here.

Where are the hockey fans at?

I have to deal with 'GO FLYERS!!!!' people everyday now. I hate them soooo much. Doesn't make me want to talk much. Though if Chicago starts out well I will gladly join in on your Toews lovefest :wub:
