from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,
The Bruins and Penguins locking up for their first conference final showdown in 20 years is an intriguing contrast because it pits strength (intense, punishing defensive team) vs. strength (high-powered, skilled offensive team), and will boast some of the most fascinating storylines in any playoff series. The B’s/Pens series will also include many of the marquee match-ups befitting a playoff series between the two most seasoned, experienced, deep, talented teams in the East.
Bergeron vs. Sid the Kid.
Chara vs. Malkin.
Jarome Iginla vs. a Bruins fan base he gave the stiff arm to.
Matt Cooke vs. the rest of the civilized NHL world.
The list goes on and on.
