Oh, but 2 goals in 5 (or 4, whatever) seconds.. that was pretty amazing.

While this is Chicago's best and maybe last year for 5 or so, Vancouver is a better team as is Detroit (biased i know).
While Chicago has the likes of Sharp, Toews, Keith and Hossa, I have to doubt their playoff exp. Hossa chokes in the playoffs, so count him out and huet is having a subpar season, as he usually does imo.
San Jose has Nabokov who is having another decent year, not superstar, but great. They also have Thorton, Heatley, Marleau on the front lines to provide some goal assurance.
Now we'll go to Vancouver, They have their whiny ass goalie Luongo, who may not be at the top this year, can be counted on. You have Henrik Sedin, Burrows and Samuelsson there for goal support while they have a solid def to back up Luongo.
As for detroit, yes I have to. Howard is having an amazing year, yes he's untested in some waters but he does have playoff exp. A lot of their current stats are down due to some key players and playmakers being gone due to injuries for a while BUT you have Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Fronzen and Holmstrom on the front lines, with Datsyuk leading the league by over 30 takeaways with well over 100. And you have Rafalski, one of the Olympics MVP's and Lindstom, arguably one of, if not the best defensemen for the last 6/7 years, and having another stong year this year.
I'd go on about the other teams but why bother atm.
As for Washington going to the finals, they might, probably will, but watch for them to slip up I think
