The field is set for the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Finals as the Bruins will travel to Vancouver to take on the Canucks in the first two game of a best of seven series.

Early indications are that the Canucks will be heavily favored. However, that won't bother the Boston Bruins, as they love playing the underdog role and have done so throughout this playoffs.

The Bruins like to slow the game down and play defensive hockey. The problem is that won't work against the Vancouver Canucks. They transition the puck so quickly out of their defensive zone and through the neutral zone, and the forwards have the offensive ability to create open ice in all three zones.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Stanley Cup, but for now I'm leaning heavily towards the Canucks.
