After escaping Toronto in the first round (and I think escape is putting it kindly), the Bruins have been on an unbelievable roll. They wore down and ultimately beat up the Rangers much easier than anyone had anticipated. Then, in the conference finals, they completely shut down the high flying Pens. Pittsburgh scored two goals in four games. Rask and the entire defensive effort was incredible. There is no question that the Bruins are at the top of their game.

Having said all that, frankly, the Blackhawks have been the best team in the league since day one. They had that long streak to start the year and have been consistently good throughout. While they did fall behind 3-1 to Detroit (and needed an OT winner in game 7 to advance), they got through the series. They too played great in the conference finals, winning comfortably against the defending cup champions.

Should be a great series. Its a case of the best team all year against the best team right now. Flip a coin. I did. Blackhawks in 7.

But there's no way I would bet on this final.. both teams are evenly matched... this could go either way, with a slight slight slight edge to Chicago

The Eastern Seaboard Publicity Network  ? ?  .....
really don't  care what they predict ,
What are the real experts on NHL Network saying    ? - I don't know .
May the BEST team win !!

NHL.com's and NHL Network's 2013 Stanley Cup Final predictions ...

a new broom , seems like I  mis-placed the one from the 2005 WS sweep by the Right Sox  .. lol
What a classic game , between 2 great teams . I'm wondering what the Bruin players really think  .. 2 goals up  with 10 min. left to play  to take away home ice advantage  
Anyone think they could have become Over  Confident because of the Pittsburgh sweep ??  
I  expecting this to be a Great Stanley Cup Final series  ! !  
ps - did pick up that broom !!!!!

now . ... but planning on using it has a flag pole
to wave my Indian Head at the Chicago parade next week  !!  ... lol
2013 Hawks  AND  Bruins are two Great hockey teams !!
Enjoy the next 2 games !!!

Custance got it right and the other two were 17 secs from being correct
