Both sides have great teams competing.

The West - The Blues are strong, and since the Kyrptonite Kings aren't there to stop them, they will be a tough team to stop. Dubnyk has been doing a lot for the Wild, too. If the Preds can get out of the slump they've been in, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with.

The East - Caps are red hot. But, they are choke artists, much like the Sharks are in the playoffs. NY Rangers and Islanders are playing with a lot of heart, and they are both destined for a cup. But, Hammond is playing amazing for the Sens, and I see them going the distance if they clinch a spot in this years playoffs.

Close call, but I say the East has a better chance this year.

I don't know what happened to the Predators, they looked like they were going to run away and hide from the west, now they may not make it out of the first round. I agree with SFC Private RallyPoint Member about Dubnyk, the Blues (who are going to be a tough out), and Hammond. I would love to see Dubnyk and Hammond face off in the finals just because they are both feel good stories. I doubt seriously that will happen.

Hopeful Finals: Wild Vs Senators Wild in six Conn Smythe to Dubnyk

More Realistic: Blues and Rangers Rangers in five Conn Smythe to Lundqvuist.
