WildCard Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Chicago Blackhawks will travel to the Tampa Bay Lightning Wednesday night, 6-3-2015, at 8pm EST. Tampa holds home-ice advantage for the series, which may prove a curse in disguise for the young squad that has struggled at home. The teams played twice in the regular season, splitting the games 1-1. -Chicago won the first meeting 3-2 in a shootout in Chicago -Tampa won the second meeting 4-0 in Tampa Should be a helluva series, tons of offense and scoring chances by two really fun teams. I'll take Chicago in 7. Edited June 1, 2015 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Damn I wanted the ducks to win.... Chicago will take this in 6. I expect at least 1 hat trick in the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Can't bet against Toews. Hawks in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Stamkos versus Kane and Toews in the Finals. Mike Harrington hardest hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 One thing about Chicago and LA typically is that they truly get better as the playoffs go on, both teams have immense experience. Only real difference is that LAK is almost only built for the playoffs and struggle in the regular season where Chicago has more than enough firepower to get them through the season. Hawks in 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Tampa in 7. I want them to win because I like them more. It's sports and I don't need to be rational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've been on Tampa all playoffs, no reason to jump off now...well, other than facing this generation's dynasty, but whatever. I really like Tampa's offensive depth against a goaltender who looks shaky at least half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Chicago's experience will give them the edge in this series. Speed and skill will define these games with not a serious amount of physicality. I don't see this series going seven games, but, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpy Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 If Tampa wins, they will have gone through 4 of the original 6: Detroit, Montreal, New York and Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I am sticking with TB. Not sure if I will be correct but Chicago and TB match up well. Tampa's speed versus Chicago's speed. Should be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I like how one of the keywords is "lightening". You know that when Seattle gets a team it's going to be called the Darkening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm predicting Chicago because Lightning may be dangerous but the HAWKS play HAWKey. 6 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Board pet peeve. The icon indicates there's a new post, but it's just someone casting a new vote. I've read Vlad's prediction five times now. Especially if this is going to be the board's official Finals thread, which it looks to be. Someone either kill the poll or start a new, pinned Finals thread. Please. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
