Pretty impressive showing by the Red Wings yesterday in the opener of the Western Conference finals, Detroit turning a close game against the youthful Blackhawks into a 5-2 rout that had the good folks of Motown in quite a spirited mood.
Should have another good one tonight as the upset-minded Hurricanes go into Pittsburgh with little fear. Should be a terrific series. I hope they have Versus in Bloomington, Ind. I think they should, but one never knows.
Prediction time kids. Who do you like in these conference finals? As I've said a few times before, I'm going with a Detroit-Pitt rematch for the Cup. Leave comments below...

George, any chance you'll be in Montreal next month for the 2009 Entry Draft?
