The Hawks/Canucks series is the only one I fear I'll be wrong with. I try to never bet against Luongo...but Khabby's got a cup ring. I'm giving edge to VAN simply for the grit/grind factor. You gotta think Thornton's played his way of next year's olympic team. Its not totally his fault (Michalek, for one, was invisible as were many others too), but my respect for Joe evaporated for Thornton in game 4. He was on the ice for the first 3 goals against and each goal he was well out of the play (when he should of been low in the slot) and he was barely moving. An elite athlete that far out of the play and nearly at a full stop is unacceptable. They deserved to lose. Again - good read on that one. I agree with all of your picks – I have the same wins.
