Who thinks the Montreal Canadiens will beat the Chicago Blackhawks in 7 games and hoist the Stanley Cup at the United Center?
I agree, history is repeating itself. But not 1973. For the second year in a row the Blackhawks will beat another original six team for the Stanley cup. But congratulations on being second best, there's no shame in that.
Montreal won't beat Chicago.
Chicago is busy polishing 2 of the last 4 stanley cups right now.
The only way Montreal beats Chicago is if Price stands on his head. You may not believe me, but I'm so far 11-0 in playoff series predictions this year if you've been paying attention.
1973 history repeats itself, yes. Montreal looks like they have something special brewing this year, years past they would have folded to the Bruins, but if people keep underestimating them that just fuels them even more, this is a team that swept the Lightning, an opportunistic stingy 102 point team and then took out the bigger, stronger more experienced 117 point presidents trophy Bruins. Montreal has clearly proven they are a legitimate contender this year. They block shots, they never give up, they play with heart and they have excellent goaltending. Final 4, anything can happen and I honestly believe Montreal matches up well with all remaining teams.
