Ducks vs Chicago is going to be good. They both had enough triage and sojourn to be ready for anything. Regardless who wins in the west I believe the Cup will set in the west at the end of the day. Rangers you can see are starting to get pretty banged up. If they make it to the finals it will be on crutches and sled skates.

Sound enough reasoning. I don't know about Tampa taking it in 5 or 6, but anything is possible. What I do know is that this series is going to show everyone exactly how much of a true Stanley Cup Playoff team the Rangers are. Being the President's trophy winner means expectations are high.
All I know is if my pool picks have any hope at all I need St. Loo-ey to get about 5 points per game, but still have Tampa win (because Bishop is my one remaining Goalie pick). :D

That's the popular concensus. But if there's one thing I've learned about the NHL in the last 10 years it is to never, and I mean ever, underestimate Toews and Kane.
