The Ducks.
They're already holding the lead in this series, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they have this series in the bag. The Sharks are a highly skilled team that are ready to bring it when need be. But imagine the Ducks winning this series. It'll be one of the biggest upsets this year. So I'm gonna go with the underdog and keep my fingers crossed that the Cup this year will be in the hands of a Cinderella team, instead of another Red Wings-esque team annihilating the competition. I want a fight for the cup and I want the team that wins to be one that has gone under the radar.
Let's see that flying V boys.Detroit Red Wings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
Red Wings.
Considering how this series is going, we all might as well kiss goodbye to any chance the Blue Jackets had. As much as it kills me to say, the Red Wings are going to sweep these series. It sucks for the Blue Jackets who had a great season and are making their first playoff appearance in franchise history.
No matter how well their trade deadline pick up Ashton Kutcher-er- Antoine Vermette has been playing for them or the fact that their goalie is a certified BAMF, or that fatty Rick Nash still knows how to impress us, they are done for. The Red Wings are... well the Red Wings. Let's just hope this is their last sweep of this year's playoffs and they'll be the victim of an upset in one of the next rounds.
St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks.
Again, as much as I hate to say it, the Canucks will definitely win this series. Roberto Luongo has been performing and poor Blues can't get a break. Maybe if TJ Oshie scored another highlight reel goal, they might have a chance. Hell, on that goal he made ALL of Vancouver look silly.
But I do hope that the Blues will in fact prove me wrong, so the Hawks (if they win the series against Calgary) won't have to face Luongo and the Nucks in the next round. But then again it could prove to be an entertaining match. We all know how their last game turned out...
it gets good at about :53 seconds. If more of this will be guaranteed, then I'm all game. Especially if it involves clothes being ripped off.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Calgary Flames
If it isn't obvious, the Hawks.
I went to the Game 2 last night and let me tell you I've never seen in the United Center quite so... drunk before. I think everybody but the five year old little girl sitting to the left of me was wasted beyond their minds' capacities.
For example, the drunk middle aged man in front of me who was eagerly rocking a Wiznewski jersey. The guy knew all the words to every single song that was played, and he made sure we all got familiar with them too. At one point, he got the entire section to sing the chorus of I Want To Rock 'N Roll All Night.
Anyways, the point is the crowd was insane and the "Let's Go Hawks" cheers left the arena vibrating. I couldn't imagine being on the ice and listening to that, I was getting chills just sitting there.
But after a disappointing first period, the Hawks brought it and showed all of the NHL how hockey has truly returned to Chicago. The checks were definitely there. Thank you, Big Buff.
And the Bulin Wall denied and denied and denied. He was in the fucking zone. Remind me again why we signed Huet?
There were also some famous faces in attendance at the game.
Mike Ditka: the Chicago God of Football. The arena went nuts. Or at least the guys did.
Vince Vaughn. If Vinny here loves the Hawks, then you should too. 
What started to really piss me off was the Flames ramming into Kaner and Havlat behind the play, and no calls from the refs. Do they know how to work a whistle? Apparently, they do when we hook the other team, but not when they shove their elbows in our faces. After Havlat's overtime goal in Game 1, he basically had a designated target sign on his back. 
Rene Bourque, former Blackhawk and love of mine, wasn't taking any prisoners. But yet again, the refs don't seem to know what a roughing penalty must look like, because last time I checked charging into somebody AFTER the whistle isn't legal. I'm not worried though, we got our revenge.
How's the view from down there, Rene?So Coach Keenan can go and suck it. While he's doing that, he can also stop running his mouth to the papers. This is our series and our time. Hawks will win this series, because frankly we just want it more. You might have the physicality, Calgary, but we have the heart AND the skill. Tell that to the papers.
And a special thanks to our Captain, Jonathan Toews, for showing us that you don't have to be 21 yet to kick some major ass.
