As you probably have figured, if you haven't been living under a rock for the past month or so, the NHL playoffs are about to hit the high point. The Stanley Cup Finals begin Saturday between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Chicago Blackhawks. In short, this is the matchup of the preseason favorite Flyers that had to literally wait until the final day of the regular season to find out if they would make the playoffs and the Western Conference favorite Blackhawks, who have held up their end of the bargain despite some shaky goaltending. Seemingly, both teams have found their go to guys, with the Flyers having Simon Gagne and Michael Leighton and the Blackhawks having Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Antti Niemi. In the end, I think the Blackhawks will take it in seven. Why? They have the one guy that can put them over the top: Dustin Byfuglien.
