Stanley Cup Playoffs Conference Finals, Round 3
Matchups:
1. Chicago vs. 5. Kings 1. Pittsburgh vs. 4. Boston
Chicago
in 6 Chi! in 5 Boston in 7 Bos! in 4
The Conference finals were great to watch, but
so bizarre to experience. I scored a
1.0 of 2 in round 3. Then again, I dont
know many people who nailed each series in 5 and 4 games respectively.
In the West, while I expected a Chicago win, I
didn't expect a continued no show by Brown & Kopitar, nor did I expect
Quick to be made mortal so quickly.
Chicago did start the season on fire and they are built to win, so they
showed their pedigree and Corey Crawford showed he means business.
In the East, I knew the Bruins were experienced,
talented and tough, but I didn't think they would dismantle a Penguin franchise
to the level that roster chances seem mandatory and their Coaches job might not
be safe. Pittsburgh was out coached,
outplayed and out-disciplined by Boston and crushed in 4 games to none. While they were in two of the games, Boston
really controlled play, shut down their offense and made their defense look
patchwork. I really feel they took a
page ot of the Isles playbook, but had more experience, size and talent so they
got the job done.
