I had a Tampa / Anaheim final with Tampa winning, so my bracket's busted, though I had all the conference final participants picked right. Still, I'll keep Tampa over Chitown.
Tampa's top six is clearly the stronger group right now. Their bottom six was terrible against NYR, but generally I'd give them the edge too. Outside of Hedman, who for me is as good as anyone on the Hawks, the Hawks have better top tier defenders, but it does thin out for them. Goaltending is basically a wash; maybe a slight nod to Bishop who is playing well.
It should be a fun series of up tempo hockey.
