Enough bickering about the Eastern Conference Finals. The Rangers lost, the Rangers choked, blah blah blah, who cares. Game 1 of the Finals is Wednesday in Tampa.

Experience vs. youth, lots of speed, lots of offense. Interesting that CHI was 1st in shot attempts during the regular season but only 17th in goals per game; TB was first in goals per game with the best shooting %.

I'll go with Chicago in 6.
 
Tough to go against Toews at this point. Guy is a helluva hockey player. Everything you want.
 
Gotta take CHI because I can't have another team from a city that doesn't even have naturally occurring ice win the Cup. It just doesn't sit well with me.
 
The Rangers and Lightning were playing for second place. Not sure why that debate got so heated.
 
I'm in Chicago until Friday afternoon for work, any suggestions on good places to watch the game? Tickets are only $300 tomorrow night, but I honestly don't care enough about hockey to go.

Well the game is in Tampa, so that $300 ticket wouldn't do you much good here in Chicago. If you indicate what neighborhood you're staying in I'll give you recommendations.

Shows how much I know/care about hockey -- though I am a firm believer that the bars will be lively. I'm at the Hyatt Regency.
 
Haha that's pretty sad.

Flyin to Tampa for a couple of the games Butcherzzz style. Pretty pumped.

Were tickets hard to get or not really since it's Tampa? Do you mind if I ask how much they were, I am just curious.
 
Hawks really showed why they're so good this game. Steady hands, adaptive style, seasoned in any situation. It's been an awesome run.

I paid 600 for tickets that aren't awful. Have a place to stay in Florida for free so not all that bad. Just airfare and seats. And greens fees.
