Carty Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 So... Who do you think is going to win it this season, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Chicago. Many top players are from Winnipeg. I only rooted for Boston in the east as they were always the lesser of 2 evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronco73 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 The only team in my mind that I would consider betting on to beat Boston from the west would be Chicago. The right two teams are in this SCF for sure. I think Boston has what it takes to physically wear the Hawks down, and I also give them the edge in goaltending. Chicago has the edge in firepower, but I think Boston gets the nod on D. That all being said, I think I pick Boston to win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Not sure that Boston has enough speed to keep up with Chicago and the pace they set. The whole Easter finals seemed like it was played at a slightly slower pace. Then again the east hasn't been the brutal war that most west series seemed to have gone through so that may work in their favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL44 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well... if Chicago can attack em with speed like Toronto attacked em, then I like their chances. Only problem is... That Boston D and Forward back check has only gotten stronger, and stronger and stronger with each round. Leaning Hawks. But I've been surprised to see the Hawks get this far. I've expected them to get out-goaltended in each round except the first. So if they can limit the chances against like they have, Crawford won't have to steal a game for them.... just steal a goal here and there like he has been.

The_People1 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm thinking the Hawks as well. Boston is not much different than LA and if the Hawks can dispose of the Kings so easily, then i think they can dispose of the Bruins in the same fashion. Bryan Bickell for Conn Smythe? You better believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carty Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 My brain is trying to tell me that the Hawks are on a pretty good roll, but I am going to go with my heart and say the Bruins will take the cup... But it will take all 7 for them to do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL44 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Whoever wins, i hope its just an embarrassing outright loss for the loser. Like "clean out your lockers and revel in shame about what you just pooped out there on the ice for the next 4 months" bad. Unlikely.. but it's something to wish for as my team's 2 largest rivals go at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely wish for embarrasingly poor hockey from any team even those teams I am not fond of or that my team is playing against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens this is one of those rare times. I wouldn't mind it going 7 games with each team taking turns embarrassing themselves if that makes it any better... I'm sure there would be a couple flames fan along the same thought line if Van-Edm were playing each other in a series... similar thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton I view as a non-factor for @ least a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyerfan52 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Funny but I put a Hawks miniture Cup near the TV & under a minute later Bolland scored. A bit over 4 minutes later it's tied. The mojo must be strong tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyerfan52 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 FF52 and his stupid little Hawk miniature cup's fault! & I'm leaving it there for game 2. ************************************************** Did you guys look @ the ice time some players logged? Duncan Keith was @ 48:40. Seidenberg @ 48:36. Incredible! What a game! It almost turned into 2 games without a break. 112+ minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyerfan52 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Wowser! Another OT & it results in a tied series. This condensed season resulted in the most interesting season (a ticket to the dance & seedings decided during the last games) & playoffs in a long time.
