Conference Finals Preview 2013

The last four Stanley Cup champions will battle it out the rest of the way.

After the Eastern semis each went a relatively quick five games for both the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins, the Western teams took it to the very end, each going seven games.

The Chicago Blackhawks, won both game 6 and won game 7 (in overtime!), with some controversial refereeing. Hopefully it's something that will be left behind.

Despite win-loss records during the regular season both match-ups look tight. The Penguins swept the season series against the Bruins, but all three games were decided by one goal. The Blackhawks won the season series versus the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 with two of three games also being one-goal affairs.
