So Who’s Got The Edge?

This is a series that we will get to see go back and forth like no Stanley Cup Final before it.

Physicality will be at a whole new level from the battle-tested Lightning while at the same time the Chicago Blackhawks will be looking to implement their new overtime-is-a-must strategy that they haven’t done in years prior.

You’ve just got to love it. If not, get yourself checked out. ASAP.

Experience definitely favors the Blackhawks, but judging from overall team confidence and stability I would give the edge to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Not only is Tampa Bay going to be ready for anything Chicago can pull out from under its sleeve, but it’ll be ready to pound the puck when Chicago least expects and if they use that to their advantage then the Stanley Cup is there’s to lose.

I mean, really, it is.

Here’s our official predictions:

Series Length: Six

Champion: Tampa Bay Lightning

Series MVP: Ben Bishop
