Go ahead, Jen. Tell us how you really feel about the Blackhawks and don't hold back.

Jen it looks like you didn't count on Minnesota Wild.

The Wild's 5-3 win over the Stars, has kept Dallas out of the postseason and left your 'beloved' Blackhawks in 8th place in the West.

They did last season and the Canucks were the better team then too. The Canucks tend to fall apart in the playoffs.

To be honest, Vancouver and Chicago are totally different from what they were last year. Chicago basically squeaked in, and their defensive core and goaltending are inferior to last season. I think Vancouver will take this series in 6 games at the latest(5 games more than likely).

I am picking Vancouver to win the Cup this year. Even though they were in a weaker Division, they still beat a lot of good teams during the season. You don't get to 117 points by chance.

Chicago's goaltending is inferior because they gave away their cup winning goalie to San Jose who ended up second in the west.

Vancouver has a very good chance to win the cup if they don't blow it in the first round. After that it's all gravy for them.

I would really like to see Montreal take the cup, but that's a long (dream?) shot. The Boston - Montreal series will be a good one as their games are always unpredictable.

Not completely "unpredictable," my friend. I think we can state with some assurance that there will be fights on the ice, recriminations, trash-talking in the newspapers, and at least one really, really, really bad call by the referees in every game!

It's just not their goaltending, Ila. Their defensive core was gutted due to the Cap, and that made a huge difference in their own zone. I'm not sure why they went the Turco route. Surely there were better options out there.

Montreal and Boston will be a wild series. I can see it going seven games.
