new to Greek Chat, big hockey fan

Hi! I'm new to Greek Chat. I'm a fraternitiy brother of Tom Earp's, and I'm a hockey fan going back to the Original Six days. It's good to see three Canadian teams advancing in the East. I see two hot goaltenders with Lalime and Theodore. Cujo's too streaky, and Carolina is putting their play off future in the hands of a back up goaltender. It may be crazy to say that an 8 seed can go on to the finals, but Montreal has hot goaltending, plus the emotional lift of Koivu coming back. I say Montreal advances to the finals.

In the West, even though he got off to a slow start last night, I think Roy is still the best playoff goaltender in hockey. St. Louis consistently under achieves in the playoffs, plus they don't have a goaltender who can carry them. If the Sharks can get past Colorado, and that is a big "if" as far as I'm concerned, then they have a shot. Detroit is Detroit, so they will make a run, but I've never been impressed with Hasek in the playoffs. I think I have to go with Colorado advancing.

So, Montreal and Colorado in the final, with the Avs bringing Montreal's Cup dreams to an end. Avs win the Stanley Cup.
Any thoughts?
