Wings/Black Hawks drop puck in the Western Finals today at 3:00 on NBC. Detroit took four of the six games between the two this year, including the outdoor game in Wrigley Field. Vets vs. youth? Experience vs. exuberance? Not sure that any easy storyline fits, but I will be disappointed if there are not a series of extremely exciting and relatively high scoring games in this Finals.

Stan Mikita and Gordie Howe references are probably not optional.

Hurricanes/Penguins drop puck in the Eastern Finals tomorrow at 7:30 on VS. The teams are predicting a series marked by fast, aggressive, and attacking hockey. Swizzle. Make it so.
