Not that it means anything other than useless trivia, but Tampa becomes the first team since the NHL went to a 4 Round playoff structure to play against an Original Six team in each round.

They were able to do it in a year where only 4 of the Original Six teams even made the playoffs.

Picking the Blackhawks in 5 or 6. Something tells me they're going to educate the Lightning. And Bishop is going to poo the bed facing Kane, Hossa and Toews etc.

The Bolts deserve much more respect than the Ducks...and Stamkos is a scoring machine...

The 'Hawks needed a shootout in a 2-2 game in November

Bishop and the Bolts made the 'Hawks look bad in a 4-0 win in February

I think that Eastern teams will, obviously, focus on Toews and Kane, but, IMO, the speed of Saad will get overlooked for at least 3 goals before the Bolts figure out that he is a threat too..

Haha, that is an awesome trivial fact.

With Chicago being the best in the West, the Rangers being the best in the Met, and the remaining four Original Six teams in the Atlantic division it was only a matter of time before this happened.

Both teams have looked bipolar these playoffs.

TB barely escapes DET; manhandles MTL; then weird lopsided games against NYR.
CHI struggled against NSH; dominates MIN; looked pretty bad in stretches against ANA.

The superstars will show up. The battle is between Bishop and Chicago's tired top 4 D, and which holds up.

Hawks in 6.

The Hawks top players (Toews, Kane and Keith) are too good and with the support of Hossa, Seabrook, Sharp, Saad, and Hjalmarsson, they will be too much for Tampa. Chicago has the better top players and Duncan Keith is a beast. Tampa can score so should win a game or two but Chicago is too strong. Keith and Toews battle for the Conn Smythe. This time it goes to Keith.

Chicago will win due to the fact that chicago has a lot more experience than Tampa Bay

I don't want Tampa to win their "second" before us.
