Discuss the Eastern Conference Final here!

We may have some time on our hands to analyze this one while we wait for the West to sort itself out.

I think Lightning will take it. Boston has no chance

I think this will be a pretty close series. I still feel like the Lightning are a "pretender." That's not to say Boston is amazing, but I just don't get the feeling from the Lightning.

I have to cheer for Roloson and Yzerman, so I'm hoping Tampa pulls this one out. The fact that the Bruins are like the Canucks to me doesn't hurt either.

Tampa all the way, can't stand Boston

I'm rooting for Boston based solely on my fantasy pool. Of course that also means Bergeron has to come back from injury soon because he's my main B's guy.

And of course they lose to the sharks in the finals anyways

This series is so hard to handicap ... both teams have rolled into the conference final and look so dangerous at both ends of the ice.

When in doubt, I go with the better goalie, which leads me to think Boston might have the edge in this one ... but it wouldn't surprise me to see it go seven.

Kaberle is off to the Khl soon. The guy has no balls.

Im sorry but no team that makes it to the Conference finals is a "pretender". If they lost in the first round yeah sure, if they lost in the second round ok maybe Ill give it to you, but to be in the Conference finals...there is no pretender about them.

And Boston just found that out tonight.
