Stanley Cup Final - Chicago vs. Philadelphia
Flyers, Hawks, Leighton, Niemi. Who do you like? How many games?

I see Hawks in five. People might point to the Flyers win over the Hawks back in March (April?) but that was due to Huet-Sucks.

Hawks in 6
Flyers in 7...they have the depth, and after making history in Round 2 I don't see them stopping now...Pronger's Cup Final experience will help a lot
I just think it's the Flyers' year. They made a believer out of me. I'm going Flyers in 6.
We get one of these - Don't waste it.
I've been saying the same thing. For that reason, I'm going with the Hawks in 7.Originally Posted by elevatemysoul

My heart says Flyers in 7, my head says Hawks in 6. Either way I win. I'm the only guy with any Philly players(Richards, Giroux, Briere, van Riemsdyke) and Chicago guys (Toews, Kane, Sharp, Byfuglien, Versteeg) in my pool and I'm already 18 points up on second place! Whoot! Should be a good physical series though. Can't wait to see Pronger vs. Byfuglien!
I believe the overall level of play in the West is much higher than the East. The true powerhouses are out west and Chicago is one of them. Hawks in 4.

Hawks in 6...hoping Philly's impressive depth up front and Pronger can find a way to make it close.
The more I have thought about it, I am going with: Flyers in 6.
Both great teams, but too many people are selling the Flyers short. Pronger, Timonen, etc. will be the best defense the Hawks have faced, and the Flyers are a big, quick and deep team.
Leighton and Niemi are both playing very well and each have something to prove. I think Pronger will be a huge factor in the Cup. And Richards, Giroux and Leino are playing the best hockey of their careers right now.
Should be a series for the ages! Go Flyers!

Hossa has reached the stanley cup final three years in a row now... but this (again) won't be his year. Flyers in 7!
Flyers in 5
Leighton will outplay Niemi
Richards will out hustle Toews
Giroux will out dangle Kane
Carter will be sharper than Sharp
Hossa will fail
Anaheim gets an extra pick
I predicted the Hawks would win the Cup at the beginning of the playoffs and I unfortunately am sticking to it. I sure hope I'm wrong though.
Philly has a great chance. They have 2 shutdown pairs and 3 strong lines. They can match Chicago's depth. I just think Chicago is a better team. Not by a lot, but they're better.
Blackhawks in 6.
It's pretty hard for me not to root for the Flyers here. For one, if they win, the Cup will be paraded around my stomping grounds, Northwestern Ontario. So that will be sweet. Another is that Hossa will once again make the finals only to fail and there's just something about the way he's gone about the last three seasons that has me wanting him to fail.
Regardless, Chicago is obviously the favourite but I definitely won't be rooting for them.
Also, has anyone noticed that the East/West symmetry has continued. After round one people recognized that it was 1,2,3,5 moving on in the West with 4,6,7,8 moving on in the East. After that 1 and 2 moved on in the West with 7 and 8 moving on in the East. Now we have just 2 out of the West and 7 out of the East. Just something tacky that I noticed and wanted to point out.
