Stanley Cup Playoffs, Conference Finals

Eastern Conference:

Montreal v Philadelphia

No one would have ever, EVER predicted this match up for the Eastern Conference finals not in 100 million years. Montreal has some serious voodoo going on, legends are being made every single game Halak, Suban, Camalleri, these are the names you'll hear 10, 15, 20 years from now, when hockey analyzers reference great players in tough times. However surprisingly great Montreal has become, Philadelphia didn't make it to the conference on shear luck either, even if Chris Pronger is on Philly, and that Oscar winner Dan Carcillo. Montreal needs to understand, this is not a team that's easy to beat,even if you're up by 3 games, playing game 4, 3rd period 7 minutes on the clock, Philly will make your life a living hell and they will make you pay for that victory.

Western Conference:

San Jose v Chicago

Well, well, well what do we have here? San Jose? In a conference final? O mon dieu! Will they choke? Will this be a 4 game sweep? Will Joe Thornton be on the golf course before this month is through? Or will they finally fulfill the long told prophecy and authenticate the massive talent they have on their team? I just want them to beat Chicago to teach that little sh-t Patrick Kane, that you may get away with beating up a defensless cab driver but the hockey gods will not forgive you for growing a mullet in lieu of the playoff bead, TRASH!
