It's been a thrilling playoff season, and we're down to four great teams: Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Carolina!! I went 2-2 in the last round (didn't see Carolina winning and picked Vancouver as well), bringing my overall score to 8-4 in these playoffs.
Before the season started, I picked Pittsburgh and Detroit to return to the NHL finals, and I'm gonna stick with that. The Pens gain the home-ice advantage in this round, and their finals trip last season gives them the kind of experience and discipline needed at this time of the season....and the Hurricanes have to be running out of gas after two WILD and intense playoff series to get here! PICK: Penguins in 7
I also think experience will play a huge role in the Red Wings-Blackhawks series; I expect Chicago to have that "deer in headlights" look for the first 2 games in Detroit.....they will play very well in the rest of the series, but falling behind 2 games will be too deep of a hole to climb out of. PICK: Red Wings in 6

I'm picking red this round...going with the Wings (although I'm really, REALLY liking this Hawks team. They might be my Original 6 horse) and the Canes.
Pens in 7. Wings in 6.
