VHA STANLEY CUP Playoffs Season 3 Conference FINAL
WEST
Calgary Flames (1) vs Chicago Blackhawks (3)
The West is set and it will be the Blackhawks vs the Flames. This should be a instant classic as both teams know each other very well. The Blackhawks just came off a great series with Dallas edging out the stars in game 7. While the Flames have not lost a game yet. They have to face some adversity as the Blackhawks have been a great offensive team this Cup run. This will be a high scoring affair and the winner of this battle will be the team with the best answers to each others offence. Both teams have done great thus far but this round will be the biggest test for both clubs.

EAST
Philadelphia Flyers (1) vs Florida Panthers (2)
The Flyers were tested with a real challenge but in the end of the day it was not enough. The Flyers scoring power continued to climb while Bryz have put the critics to bed thus far. Now in the way of the Cup Final for the Flyers are the Panthers. Panthers the 2nd ranked team seem to be the best opponent for the highly skilled Flyers. Panthers have done extremely well in their first play off run in a long time and have really gained momentum as of late. Florida has great defense as well, and have had harder competition as of late. That combination will spell upset for the president trophy winners.
Scoring Leaders
1. Gaborik 13G 2A (PHI)
2. Pacioretty 4G 7A (PHI)
3. Jokinen 6G 5A (FLA)
4. Oshie 4G 5A (PHI)

6. Ribeiro 4G 5A (FLA)
Goalie Match Up

UPSET TIME, Florida will take the Flyers by surprise in a thriller of a series.
Panthers in 7
