My quick pick for the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals

After a season that barely even happened, we now find ourselves at least four games away from know who will be the champions of the NHL. There is not much I can say about either of these two teams that everyone doesn’t already know.
The Chicago Blackhawks are the best of the west have their high powered offense which has averaged 2.76 goals per game during the playoffs. They came from three down to beat the Detroit Redwings and became the first team to beat the Los Angeles Kings on their home ice.
Goalie Corey Crawford has not always looked the best, but he has put together some good streaks of net minding. Kane, Sharpe and Hossa have been dangerous for most of the playoffs and seem to be getting in rhythm at just the right time. Their offense can overpower almost any goalie in the NHL right now, but there will be one it can’t. Tuukka Rask.
That’s right, I’m picking the Bruins because of the brick wall that has popped up in front of their goal. Rask only allowed two goals in four games against the number one offense in the league and made it look very easy. Though it is said every year, defense wins championships and that’s what the Bruins have.
Rask will continue his great net minding and will vanquish the Hawks in 6 games with the help of David Krejci who will add to his impressive 21 points in the postseason.


Thanks for reading!
