Eastern/Western Conference Final Predictions

By Bethany | May 6, 2008

As you know I am pretty sucky on the predictions this year. However, I do have some predictions for the conference finals that I would like to share with you. So here we go…

Eastern Conference

Penguins vs Flyers

Sidney Crosby and his band of …. hockey players will face off against the Flyers. Now, this is one that I am going to have serious issues making a pick. The Penguins have been playing some amazing hockey, as have the Flyers. MAF has been outstanding for them. The Flyers have been playing crazy good hockey, however Marty Biron has not been that outstanding for them. Here’s my comparison of goaltenders

Marty Biron vs MAF

Save % .914 | .938

GAA 2.72 | 1.76

Now, this may be a little off, MAF, has only played 9 games whereas Marty B has played 12. So, what is my prediction…I DO NOT KNOW!! I didn’t want either of these teams to make it this far. So what it comes down to me is who has the most players that I like…my heart is continuing to pick my choices

Pens | Flyers

Jordan Staal | Joffrey Lupul

Ty Conklin | Jason Smith

Kris Beech | Scottie Upshall

Evgeni Malkin | Patrick Thoresen

Jarkko Ruutu | *******

Well there is my list…so I suppose the Pens win. And that is my pick.

Western Conference

Red Wings vs Stars

This is much easier for me. Red Wings will win it. Look what they have, that the Stars don’t have ~~a capable goaltender~~, ~~legitimate scorers~~, and a solid defense. Well so the only thing that the Wings have that the Stars don’t is a solid d, and the only reason I don’t say the Dallas d is solid is because they’re so young. I have no idea, how this is going to go, but my pick is Wings.

These should be too solid series, especially Pens and Flyers, I can’t wait for them to start!!
