Speaking of tap(s), I’m back with the Morning Skate after a week of incessant drinking.  Here’s a little preview of what to look forward to tonight, I’ll be brief (my hands are shaking);

On Tonight:

My pick for the Eastern Conference final takes place in Pittsburgh tonight as the Bruins are visiting.  The Penguins are loaded with skill, the Bruins nearly equal them in that category but trump them in size and toughness.  It’s been a little over a week since Milan Lucic has busted any faces open, Pittsburgh doesn’t really have a worthy opponent (Godard maybe) so Milan may have to resort to scoring in this one.

Check this Western Conference match-up in Motor (recession) City; the highly skilled and largely Swedish Detroit Red Wings vs. the 9-0-1 in their last 10 Blackhawks.  I love that Chris Osgood still rocks the Messier helmet and cage, but Chicago is looking like they’re ready to surpass the Wings in the standings.  The two teams square off again this week in this year’s version of the Winter Classic on Thursday.
