Those saying the Eastern Conf. teams are weak, posers, pretenders whatever, and don't stand a chance etc, are just plain wrong. In fact, I think either Tampa Bay or Boston are going to win it all this year. Tampa sure looked solid in last night's game.
Lastly, is it just me or were there a lot more hockey fans on GFY 5 years ago?

Yeah I know they might not have what it takes to do it, but I am hoping they can. Been a while since a Canadian team won it. Last team was Montreal aswell which sucks (hate them habs!) So I'm just backing the Canadian team to (hopefully) win.
I reckon the Boston / Tampa series is going to be great though! Hard to tell who is going to win that one.
And then in the west you have 2 teams who had almost identical series.
Vancouver were winning 3-0 against the hawks, went all the way to game 7
San Jose were winning 3-0 against Detroit, also went all the way to game 7.
Going to be an interesting road to the final that's for sure!
