Round 3!!!

Round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starts today (woohoo!)! 3 of the 4 teams that are in the conference finals are teams that I wanted in the playoffs still. The final four teams are the Chicago Blackhawks, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Carolina Hurricanes, and unfortunately, the red wings.

The round 3 match ups are bringing in a lot of talent and a good series. The Hurricanes and Penguins I am really excited for because I get to see two of my favorite players face off against each other, plus the two players are brothers. Jordan Staal of the Penguins gets to play his older brother, Eric of the Hurricanes! Their other brother, Marc, got eliminated in the first round. The goaltending for the two eastern conference teams are both going to be hard to get the puck past. Cam Ward and Marc-Andre Fleury are two of the best goalies in the league and its going to be a really fun match up to see.

The Blackhawks and the red wings is also going to be a good series even though it is the wings. Both teams have a lot of talent. The offensive match ups are Jonathon Toews (Hawks) against pavel datsyuk (wings), Patrick Kane (hawks) against henrik zetterberg (wings) and for goalies, Nikolai Khabibulin (hawks) and no one because the red wings goalie is so not even good enough to mention.

I think that both series is going to go to at least 6 games because of all the talent. My final round match up though, is the Blackhawks and Hurricanes. But i will be happy either way as long as the red wings don't make it any farther!!

P.s. sorry for even saying the red wings players names! EEEEWWWW!!

P.s.s. Go Hawks and Canes!!!!!!!!!!!
