Might sound silly, but I'm pulling for the Capitals simply because of Trotz. Best coach to never be in the Stanley Cup Finals. It would be a real shame if they didn't make it that far this year.

The Caps are definite favorites and should win the series if they play the game they brought through most of the season. That being said, this core group has faltered more than once in the past and I don't have as much confidence in them as I should for a team that finished 16 pts higher in the standings. I could see the Pens skaters equal/outplaying the Caps and them needing Holtby to win the goalie battle, which he should, to win.
I'd rather see Pitt win because I just prefer their core group of players but I think the Caps finally with the East this year, so Caps in 7.
Caps / Bolts eastern final would be unbelievably fun. Just wish Stammer could be back for that, would put it over the top. But it'd be a good series nonetheless, so that's the hope, for me.

I'd really love the Capitals to win this. I used to hate Washington; I thought Ovechkin was an overrated showboat who floated and didn't play defense. However, I think Ovie's really matured in recent years, and he strikes me as one of the best players in the game, and one who's really likable.
Not to say that I don't like Sid, but he's won his championships. Ovechkin has nothing to show for himself -- aside from individual achievements -- and it'd be a shame for one of the legends of our game to go out without a Stanley Cup.
Go Caps Go!
