2011 NHL CONFERENCE FINALS

The final four of the NHL are now in place. One 'Original 6' team, one team from Canada, and two from sunny states. Stanley Cup Champion & Red Wings legend Steve Yzerman leads his Tampa Bay Lightning against the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals, which begins this Saturday. Meanwhile, Canada'a last hope for the title is with the Vancouver Canucks as they play the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals, beginning this Sunday. When it's all done, only two will emerge to battle for the prize that is the Stanley Cup.
