Who Will Win the 2009-10 Stanley Cup? Part II
Montreal Canadians
The Montreal Canadians gave the Capitals a run for their money in their series. In the seventh game, Montreal pulled off the upset by beating the Capitals 2-1. The Canadians have had a bad year at 39-33. The Canadians have such great players as Mike Cammalleri, Tomas Plekanec, and goalie Jaroslav Halak. Montreal currently has no major injuries, only nagging minor ones. I believe Montreal won't make it past the Quarters. They will be playing the Pittsburg Penguins--so that will be the end of their upset streak.
Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins took control of the playoffs from the beginning. They won their series against Buffalo 4 games to 2. The Bruins have not had the best year. A 39-30 year is not good, so I'm surprised they even made it to the Semis. The Bruins' key impact players are Mark Recchi, Zdeno Chara, and goalie Tuukka Rask. Boston's one key injury is to defenseman Mark Stuart who has an infected left pinkie and will not play in the second round. I think Boston will make it to the Finals and lose.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks have had their share of losses in the Quarter-finals. The Blackhawks have had a great season at 52-22, and won their series 4 games to 2 against Nashville. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the Finals. The Blackhawks have such great players as Patrick Kane, Jonathon Toews, and goalie Antti Niemi. The Blackhawks currently have no injuries but they will most likely have some before the end of the year. I have a feeling that the Blackhawks will make it to the Stanly Cup.
Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings, in their Quarter-finals, played a 4-3 series against Phoenix. The Red Wings have had a 44-24 season which is pretty average. They have great players like Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterburg, and goalie Jimmy Howard. Detroit has no injuries so far, but they will have some sooner or later. I think they will make it to the Finals but lose.
Soon I will post about the Stanley Cup. I will pick the winner once the two teams are set up.
