After reading the previous two articles this section will now highlight for you my predicted Stanley Cup match up winner. I left off with the Boston Bruins facing the Detroit Red Wings in the finals. The Red Wings would have the home ice advantage in the seven game series, which is situated as a 2-2-1-1-1 setup with game 7 being in Detroit.Very few of the Bruins players have been in this scenario before, where it is a well known area by the Red Wings main threats. In this series the home team will have a definite advantage as both teams have brutal and passionate crowds that can moderately influence the mental state of the game. I predict, however, that in a seven game series the Bruins will edge the Red Wings. The main reason will be that the Red Wings will be able to last until the Stanley Cup with who they have, but as the team is prone to injuries including center Pavel Datsyuk who has lost significant time this year, fatigue may be a factor. The Bruins may not be as experienced, but their endurance and durability will outlast the Red Wings by the fourth and final series of the playoffs. Also, Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard is nothing compared to Tim Thomas of Boston, leading to less goals being scored by Detroit. The Conn Smythe Trophy winner (playoff MVP) will be Bruins winger Milan Lucic who is reliably one of their strongest playoff performers in recent history for thre B's.This Original Six matchup will be a phenomenal success for the NHL, and will live up to the expectations that fans consistently tune in to see out of the NHL playoffs.
Boston Bruins Win Stanley Cup Series 4-2.
