There is a chance we will see an "original six finals". I am aware that both Vancouver and San Jose jumped to early 1-0 leads in their series, but there is still a long way to go and I still think Detroit will, yet again, ruin it for the Sharks and advance to the Conference finals. As for Chicago, I'm not so sure. Vancouver is deeper in scoring and defensively, surprisingly, more solid than the Blackhawks. With Detroit being the western original six to advance to the Stanley Cup finals, it is up to Boston and Montreal to fight for the other spot. Bruins are looking very good against the Flyers and have a great chance to take that series, especially with Marc Savard back in the line-up. Montreal on the other hand will most likely not come out as winners in their series against reigning champs Pittsburgh. Can Boston beat the Penguins? I think they can. The Bruins is one of those good teams that, due to injuries, didn't do as well as expected during the regular season, but now they have found their groove and are rolling again.
Detroit - Boston in the final, that is my pick. And wouldn't that matchup be a treat while these two teams so rarely play each other.
By the way; the look on Marc Savard's face when he scored the winner in overtime.. Priceless!
