totally never considered hiller honestly for goalie, but I don't know if that is part of me thinking SJ will wake up or if its because I never see many Anaheim games, they always start late for me, so never see any of them.

Talk about standing on your head and taking a game on the road. That is unbeleivable for a rookie goaltender. He's got great numbers this year too.

I just never thought San Jose would lose this series either. It's very possible that they will though, I know it's only one game, but it's the 1 team that nobody wants to play against in the playoffs (Anaheim). They're going to hurt them regardless of what happens at the end of the series.

- Which four teams will be in the Conference finals? Boston Vs Jersey, Chicago vs Detroit

- Which two teams will meet in the Stanley Cup Finals? Boston vs Detroit

- Lastly, which team will win the Cup? Why? Boston, is full of depth, and if they don't get rattled by the Wings, they will win.

Crazy SF71!! Good choices, IMO. We almost chose the same in the end, and I didn't even see your choices. Kinda strange since I haven't really heard of anyone else but me choosing Chicago in the CF.

It's really tough to choose though for sure. Some teams really surprised me so far. I have a feeling about Chicago this year...they could make it really deep in the playoffs.
