Well, guess I can pull out my Chelios Blackhawks jersey, at least that way I'm safe.

Nice one

Last time we were in Montreal, I wore my Habs Chelios jersey from 85-86. Got a ton of comments on that. I actually wore it in Ottawa and saw him in a mall, we had a good 15 minute conversation. Great guy, just can't stand to see him in a Wings sweater.

Same mall the next year ran into Pat Burns and a few Bruins players

All set, Cans / Pens and Hawks / Wings.

Should be some great conference finals, can't wait until they start.

Great game between the B's and the Canes, gotta think the only person the Bruins fans would have liked to score the winner any less would have been Samsanov, and maybe not even him.

Was kinda hoping the Bruins would win but Carolina was the more dangerous team in OT and eventually it paid off.

Hey Mark that's pretty cool you got to go to those 2 games. Cool about the Chelios story, too

How 'bout them Pens!!? I think Crosby has come into his own so far in the series, and has really lived up to his hype. In my opinion, Malkin really hasn't been himself in the playoff's so far. I mean he hasn't played BAD, but he's not the Malkin we saw that took over the 3rd period single handedly vs. the Lighting in early March.

REALLY, REALLY, REALLY pulling for the Ducks. Guess it wasn't meant to be. As a Pens fan, I like the fact that the 'Canes won. Better matchup for the Pens, and home ice.

I'm 5-3 w/ my picks from the 1st series, and 2-2 in the second. Not good! Only picked the correct winner and games played in 3 series (Pens vs Flyers, Pens vs Caps, and Devils vs Canes).

My Conference Final Picks:

Wings in 6
Pens in 6

Cup Finals:

Pens in 7 (I think Detroit will win, but I gotta have some wishful thinking here)

Man I hate the Wings.

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!

Man I hate the Wings.

In Your Face !!!

No offense guys, just kidding. But as a Wings fan for years now, it's difficult for me to come here everyday and read all this message full of hate about the Wings.

I don't know what's so wrong with u about them, maybe you don't like octopus ??

Nah, I'm a Blackhawks fan. It's in my blood to not like the Wings. Honestly, though, it should be a great series and I'm glad for the fans in both cities. Nice to see an old rivalry getting played out for the chance to skate for the Cup.

I agree, it's great to see the B'Hawks/Wings rivalry back on track.

The Canes have really stepped it up this post season. I was not happy to see Rod Brind'Amour be taken off the bench after getting a puck in the face. Rod is an awesome player, and it was great to see him hoist the cup back in 2006, even though he beat the Oilers (one of the best post-season runs I've seen in years by Edmonton)
I hope he makes it back for the ECF.

As for Hawks/Wings, I'm pulling for Hawks, Toews & a few others are from Winnipeg so home town pride is going here in Winnipeg thats for sure. I'm seeing a lot of cars with Blackhawk flags flying from the window.

I for one am happy to see an old Norris Division rivalry.

Growing up a Maple Leafs fan and being in the Norris Division with Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota & St.Louis, every year it was either Detroit or Chicago that would knock the Leafs out(on the rare occasions we actually made the playoffs).

In the East, I was a huge Lemieux fan growing up, so I have a soft spot for the Pens, but this Stall vs Stall is going to get some serious play too. Which brother will advance?

Stay tuned as NHL will always have the most exciting post season of any sport.
