STANLEY CUP FINALS

We did it. We made it. Against all odds. Stanley Cups Finals. Got in on a shootout win in Game 82. Beat the favored Devils in 5. Came back from 0-3 against the Bruins, then from 0-3 in Game 7. Oh, and we lost our goalie in the middle of Game 5, and had to switch from Brian Boucher to Mikey Leighton. Then we took down the Cinderella Canadiens in a mere 5 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. No big deal. On to the Stanley Cup Finals to play the highly favored Blackhawks. I'm sooo pumped. This is about to be sooo awesome. It's FLYERTIME babyy. I tried to tell everyone from the beginning, but they wouldn't listen. Here we are. Time to convert. Let's get it.

#2 Blackhawks vs #7 Flyers

Great matchup. These two teams are really even. We're gonna see a better series than we would have if it was any of the other three potential matchups. Two hot goalies. Two young leading captains, both with gold medals already this year. But I think this series comes down to the defense. I would say the goalies are about even. And though many would disagree, the offensive firepower is the same. Richards cancels out Toews. Carter to Kane. Briere, Giroux, and Gagne. Sharp, Bolland, and Big Buff. They're equals. Though I give the edge in defense to the Flyers. Although the Norris trophy voters wouldnt agree, at least come playoff time, I would take Chris Pronger over Duncan Keith. Then I would also take Timmo over Seabrook, Carle and Coburn are about equal to Campbell and Sopel. Obviously I'm going to take the Flyers no matter what. But I'm actually insanely confident. They are the better team. The Hawks are favored because of the regular season and Original Six status. And they have the bigger names. Though the Flyers are finally healthy. Look at the roster. Get ready folks, it about to be insanee. I'm jacked. And you should be too :) FLYERS in 6
