| #2 Posted on 24.5.10 2300.43 Reposted on: 24.5.17 2301.43 | The last three times we had a top 2 seed in one conference and a deep underdog in the other conference (Devils vs. Ducks in '03, Lightning vs. Flames in '04, Hurricanes vs. Oilers in '06) the series was ultimately won by the favorite on their home ice in Game 7. Don't see any reason to break the pattern; Blackhawks take it in seven. | DrewDewce

Hawks in 6. Niemi has been on his game, and with a solid goalie I don't think this Hawks team can be stopped. | Loosie

Perhaps that will be the impetus they need? I can't imagine anyone really looks at that statistic. Then again, it is Toronto.
I have nothing against Marion Hossa personally, but a sick part of me thinks it would be funny to see him lose three straight SCF with three different teams.
However, I am in fact picking the Blackhawks to win, in six games. I just hope it's an entertaining series. | Psycho Penguin

| #7 Posted on 26.5.10 1834.17 Reposted on: 26.5.17 1834.23 | I really hope it goes 7.. these types of scrappy underdog teams vs high powered higher seeds SCFs have gone to 7 lately. Much better than the 90s where every one was a sweep.
That being said, I'll be the first to call the upset. Flyers in 7. | cfgb

| #9 Posted on 27.5.10 0809.05 Reposted on: 27.5.17 0809.08 | I have been calling a lot of the winners right, the games not so much. I am thinking Blackhawks in 6, it will be scrappy near the end, but I think the Hawks will find a way the first two games and then the Flyers will come back only to lose game 4, but win 5. I just hope the Flyers don't win, Philly fans around here ie my wife and in-laws are going to be impossible to put up with if they do. | Doc_whiskey

The Leafs last won the cup the year before the Blues and Kings joined the league, hence that is correct. | Loosie

I'm with you on that one. It would be hilarious. The only thing that make it funnier is if he only had a one year contract with Chicago, they lose the cup finals and then teams avoid him like the plague becuase he has a Stanley Cup curse. | dunkndollaz

| #13 Posted on 27.5.10 1217.03 Reposted on: 27.5.17 1217.10 | As I have said before, I am a sort of new fan. I have only watched the Flyers play twice, both against the Canadians, who I have found out are also the Habs, and even know why.
Yeah, I am rooting for the Blackhawks. That Niemi seems amazing in the goal and Byfuglien is pretty amazing in front of the net, while guys like Kane and Sharp and Bolland and Hossa and Toews seems like they are always in the mix.
But who wins? I dunno. I couldn't tell you one Flyers' name. I know they have a reputation of being rough and tough, but are they as tough as Keith? The guy lost 7 teeth and still led the team in minutes. | Loosie

| #14 Posted on 27.5.10 2032.22 Reposted on: 27.5.17 2033.05 | Even though I predicted that Chicago will win I am kinda rooting for Philly. Mike Richards played junior here for the Rangers, was captain of the team here and led them to the OHL Championship and the Memorial Cup. He also won the Calder Cup in the AHL. So the only thing missing for him right now is the Stanley Cup, it'd be nice to see. | JustinShapiro

So they had one bad game. One just swept a 1 seed and the other had 3 shutouts in 4 wins. | JustinShapiro

Flyers are doomed, they should have won one of these two games. |
