For the first time in several years (no offence to the Dallas Stars and the Montreal Canadiens) we’re getting the Stanley Cup that many fans have dreamt about. A showdown of two NHL heavyweights, two teams, which were considered as favorites before the start of the season and are arguably two of the best NHL teams in the recent years. The two teams, however, are entering this matchup in different positions — the Avs busted into the Stanley Cup losing just two games on their path and sweeping two opponents, while the Bolts (who also happened to sweep the Florida Panthers in the second round) faced probably more adversity than they did during their previous two Stanley Cup runs, managing to save two series, where they were close to be eliminated.
