Stanley Cup Final

Bruins looking to build off a sweep of the Penguins
Again I got the East correct but was let down in the West.  What does this mean going into the finals?  I have no idea.  However, out of pure hatred for Chicago I am going with Boston.  I am very much against Jagr winning another Stanley Cup, but even more so against Hossa winning his second.  All in all I think this hockey season is very upsetting due to the teams in the finals.  Nevertheless, I am pulling for Tuukka and company to get it done.

BOSTON IN 6!



Side Notes:
Tuukka Rask made 134 saves on 136 shots in the Penguins series to show tremendous improvement from letting in a sketchy goal to Hagelin in the second round.  That 98.5 save percentage is the best in a single playoff series ever.  He has come a long way since his days in Providence.  Uhh, maybe not.  How about now?  Still no, but you have to admire his passion for the game.  Tuukka is looking to win his first Cup as a starter, similar to the way Chris Osgood did it in 98, following up Vernon's Cup win in 97.

Jarome Iginla was traded to both Boston and Pittsburgh, so it was up to him to waive his no trade clause to whatever team he desired to be on.  Mistake on his part?

You think Toews was happy to say goodbye to Zetterberg and move onto LA where he could have more success against Jeff Carter?  I'm sure he will thoroughly enjoy the Chara/Seidenberg/Bergeron treatment in the finals.  Just kidding, he won't score.
