Never...LOL!
Hawks all the way! I would even rather see the Pens win it all than Boston. Heck Detroit again would be fine as long as it means Boston looses.
But mainly I just want to see the two young teams (Hawks/Pens) try to out score each other!
Sorry, diehard Bruins fan here...put up with the lousy years and while I like the young guns of the Penguins, I am going to cheer for my Bruins all the way...As for a Hawks/Pens match-up..Don't think it would be that great, IMO the Pens would crush the Hawks...but thats Hockey...who knows.:biggrin:

Fair enough but...
You seriously think the Pens could crush the Hawks?!? The Hawks were not 6th in league (3rd in the west) for no reason. 2nd most goals in the west and 3rd least goals against. Very complete team.
It isn't all about numbers but anyone who thinks this Hawks team is lucky or some kind of feel good story is very wrong. They are a legitimate contender and the only reason people did not take them seriously before the playoffs was their age--they have proven that wrong.
They came out and took the Canucks game and threw it back in the Nucks face. It was no secret that the Canucks came into the series ready to bang and crash the Hawks. Did you see the hand shake after game 6? Said it all...the Hawks looked like a team that was ready for the first game of the playoffs and the Canucks looked like they had just gone through a war. Canucks had ALL the bumps, bruises, cuts yet the Hawks are the team that played a rough and tough first round against the Flames while the Canucks sat around in Yaletown.
All I am saying is that this Hawks team is going to be very tough for anyone to beat. Everyone knew they could outscore most teams in the league but I don't think most knew how tough they were. They also can play any game you want--they have a great stanley cup winning coach.
