I think Chicago gives the Wings all they can handle. They have the scoring power to compete with Detriot goal for goal. I give Chicago a good shot tonight Straight up and the next two in Chicago will be Hell for Detriot. The BlackHawks are for real, biggest sleeper team in the NHL all year long. Keep betting against them and the will screw you over.
As for Carolina, Cam Ward has been the hero for them and Eric Staal has to be considered up there with Crosby/Malkin/Ovie. The guy is the most underrated superstar in any sport. All ready one a cup something the 3 other superstars have yet to do. I wouldn't say the Pens cruise to the finals either. Game ones don't mean shit it is game 2 that make the difference. Let's just sit back and see what happens in both of these next game 2's - should be fun.
haha that being said I had both the Wings and Pens in game one, and in game two I am on both the underdogs.
