I think it'll be 4 games to 2. The way Vancouver was playing at the end of the SJ series I don't think anyone could beat them in a best of 7 game series. I don't know if it carries over to this series but I'm thinking it does and Van skates the cup. I think the key for the B's is Lucic.
I'd rather see the B's win it though.

I think the key is Thomas for Boston. Well, Thomas and the power play. Timmy has let in some softies during this playoffs, but seems to bounce back in the next game. He needs to cut down on those and string together back-to-back stellar performances - preferably earlier in the series - to give Boston some momentum. The power play needs to win Boston a game as well, or at least not lose them a game, but that's asking a whole whole lot at this point. I think it'll be a very good series, 6 or 7 games.

With the way Chara and Sidenberg played against St. Louis, Lecavellier and Stamkos, I see no reason why they can't hold down Sedin twins and kesler. Nashville did and boston is a better defensive team. I think it'll go 7 games. Throw in the Luongo choke factor and I definitely think boston can win it in 6 or 7

The travel will easily affect boston more than vancouver. Van travels more than any other team in the league so i think when fatigue sets in, it'll be boston who feels it more.

I'm not sure what sport it is or if they still do it, but I recall that if there was a huge distance between the 2 teams they went to a 2-3-2 format. Would help with the travel in this case.

0-0 after one. Burrows bit Bergeron's finger at the end of the period, he'll be suspended for at least the next game once the NHL reviews the tape.

Wow.
Kesler (former Buckeye) feeds to Torres and Vancouver gets the goal late.
Wins 1-0.
Awesome game.
I wanted OT though.
I hope the rest of the series is like this and it goes deep.

Kesler was very, very close to being offsides.

Crazy ending though.

I hope the entire series is like this game.
