NHL Playoffs. Conference Finals. Fight.

We'll get right to the picks son.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Pittsburgh over Philadelphia (6 Games)

• I feel like a hater but Pittsburgh is playing so well right now in all facets of the game. Philly has been carried by timely goals and excellent goaltending.
  
• The Flyers have to come out fast in Game 1. If they play poorly the Philly fans will begin to turn on them quickly. If the Flyers go down 0-2 expect the sweep. On the flip side, if the Flyers dominate Game 1, the talk amongst Philly fans will only be about whether this is the best team every in history.
• The Flyers have been involved in 6 one-goal games so far in the playoffs. They are 3-3 in those games.
  
• The Flyers have lost the first game of each of their first to series' by 1 goal.
• The Penguins have been involved in 2 one-goal games so far. They're 2-0.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

Detroit over Dallas (7 Games)

• The Red Wings are due. It's been almost a decade since their last Cup. Well since 2001-02 to be exact.
  
• The Dallas Stars won their last Stanley Cup in 1999. In triple-overtime. In Game 6. With Brett Hull's skate clearly in the crease (in violation of the rules at that time) during the winning goal.
  
• Dallas has played well in the playoffs but they've never shown the ability to dominate for stretches like Detroit has.
• The last team to win the Stanley Cup with a sweep in the finals was the Detroit Red Wings. They did it back to back years in 1996-97 and 1997-98.
• The Detroit Red Wings won the Presidents' Cup Trophy (best regular season record) this season. Guess who was the last team to win the Presidents' Cup and the Stanley Cup in the same season? That would be in the Detroit Red Wings in 2001-02.

Well there you have it. That was quick and painless right? Well at least she told me it was. Because that's what she said. That's funny right? C'mon that's more than half decent.

Here's the Brett Hull Goal. Just because.
