I think I gave the Habs good luck when I presented my project on Maurice Richard this morning and told my English class they would win today:)
I can see Chicago making it...not sure about Montreal, but who knows? Many were expecting an easy sweep for Washington and that obviously didn't happen. It would be a great series if they did make it because even though I'm a Leafs fan I do like both teams. I just hope there is not a rematch of Detroit/Pittsburgh as I despise both teams.
Montreal held off Washington... but do you think they played like a Stanley Cup Finalist? I don't know. I guess time will tell. i wouldnt' be surprised if they lost to Pittsburgh next round to be honest with you. Savour the victory for sure, but I dont' know if I see Montreal in the Finals.
BUT, If Montreal does end up beating out Pittsburgh they are definitley my pick for the finals. That would definitltey be pretty cool.
As for Chicago.. good luck against the Nucks ;-) I did think it was smart to put Byfuglien up front.
Well I can see any of the 4 in the East in the Stanley Cup, but in the West I think Vancouver is definate definitely a quiet underdog. Luongo and the Sedin twins have proved to step up in the past and I think they can again. So as for the East, I can't tell you yet, but I could certainly see another Flyers/Pens Conference Final.
I just don't see MTL replicating itself against PIT; Halak stole that series...not sure how he holds up in the 2nd round (PIT has had several days to rest).
Chicago...if Niemi can give them a chance to win they're the favourite.

I see a different Original 6 Match-Up.....the Red Wings and Habs, hopefully.
Realistically, i see the Pens and Nucks in the Cup final.
Yeah, Denis Savard has no bias at all.
I was seeing a Montreal/Chicago final but then the acid wore off.
