My Final Playoff Prediction

Here is my final prediction:

FINALS

Anaheim over Ottawa in 7 games. During the past week I was leaning towards Ottawa. Afterall, they have played some strong opponents and in each series has won handily in 5 games. Their top line have the 3 of the top 4 spots in the playoff scoring race and they are getting good goaltending. But then I reminded myself that they are not getting MVP goaltending - like what Giguere is giving Anaheim. As well, the Duck star defensive pair of Niedermayer and Pronger and defensive forward Pahlsson are more than capable of handling Alfredsson, Heatley and Spezza. With the edge in defense and net going to Anaheim, they should win the Cup.
