Mon - Chi or NYR - Chi. An orginial six finals would be awesome. Adding a Canadian team in there would be next-level awesome. The Kings are boring...
I'd like a zombie invasion to start and cancel the playoffs because I don't want any of these teams to win to be honest. Or a meteor. Pick your poison.
If someone was putting a gun to my head then I guess I'd be forced to say I'd love to see the Habs lose in overtime of Game 7 of the Final against whoever. That should pretty much do the same damage as a zombie invasion/meteor.
Montreal - Chicago would be really cool I think
You guys, the original four NHL teams were the montreal canadiens, toronto hockey club, ottawa senators and montreal wanderers. So yeah, it's so great that ONE of the original four is competing in this year's playoffs!! Here's a handy little history of NHL teams.

NYR/CHI
I'm a Nordiques fan (even though they don't exist, I refuse to let go) so I can't cheer for Montréal, therefore, I want the Rangers to win. And I really don't care who wins the west, but in the interest of responding to the thread, I will pick Chicago (and the fact LA gave Montréal the cup in '93 will make me cheer for Chicago, I'm definitely not a fan of Healy and McSorley)!
Being older and from Stl the only thing I root for as much as the Blues to win is the hawks to lose... Let's go L.A. Here's one for the older folk... Murrrrrrrrrrrrrayyyy. (Bannerman)
Chicago Blackhawks.
That is all.
I'm gonna say Chicago (obviously) and New York
If a Canadian team makes it to the Final I want them to win..... A Canadian team has not win since I've been watching hockey. However this year that would mean my Hawks lose..... So CHI-NYR, still an awesome original six matchup.
