LETS GO PENS!!!!!! strong offense, scoring defencemen and a very strong, bounce back goalie makes them tough to beat.

I think the Boston Bruins will. Because there in the 2nd round, and savard is back. Also they have a really good chance.

Bring it home boys. I am of the opinion that this team is more fierce than ever. I think the final 2 teams will be Detroit vs. Pittsburgh, with Red Wings claiming a revenge win against the Penguins.

The Hawks: They roll deep with goal scorers on EVERY line and solid defense (even without Brian Campbell, thank God he's back!). Don't believe the media hype when they say our goal tending is weak. Hello, Niemi had 2 shut-outs against Nashville, one of those following a bad loss! He is solid between the pipes: 92% save percentage and 7 shutouts during regular season. Some say our power play could use some help. I think the Hawks use their power plays as an active rest. How about the flip side? The Hawks’ PK is awesome, how about that shortie in the last few seconds? Which brings up my final point: yes, we are young, but our guys have learned so much this year and grown as a team. That's right they play as a team, not just a line of superstars and then a few "other guys". Remember Chicago's loss to the Flyers? Last few seconds, Pronger puts it in the net as Kane was getting off the ice...whoops, but look what they learned from that! Welcome back to Chicago Lord Stanley.

This year the sharks will face a fast, young and hard hitting Chicago team in the West Finals, but will need to knock off questionable, but always dangerous Detroit team in the process. Both the teams will have to rely on their goaltending, as offense for both these teams have not been a problem. The big names on both sides will have to play exceptional, but it will be the younger players that will have the biggest impact for their clubs. Name like Towes and Kane for the Hawks and Pavelski and Setoguchi for the Sharks will need to provide secondary scoring on 2nd or 3rd lines, as Thorton, Heatley, Hossa and Sharp will be the opposing teams main focus. Ovi and Sid will need to play the series of their careers and should be interesting to see the physical match-up between the two as Ovi is still trying to get the bad taste out of his mouth from last years playoffs. Caps will need players like Knuble and Backstrom to step up and pick up some goals to help lead their club to the Finals.
