Pain vs Young Guns

Two very powerful squads will face-off in this year's finals. The Pain have long been built solid and may very-well stand on the brink of their third championship - a feat no team has yet accomplished - and a claim to a Dynasty. The Young Guns on the other hand are somewhat the inverse: after going through a series of relatively unimpressive and unguided seasons, they managed to accrue a group of solid young players who have developed into a very dominant force. GM Kirk added the final touch after taking over the squad by picking-up one of the league's best goalies in Jose Theodore.

So far both teams have managed to proceed series by series, with the Pain having a difficult time in the previous two, leaving J.S. Giguere perhaps a little fatigued. The Guns who have been somewhat on cruise so far may be facing their first legitimate challenge, meaning one might think their performance thus far could be slightly skewed.

It should be a tight series, but I'm thinking it will come down to goaltending: Theodore is putting in an all-world performance, whereas Giguere is not looking impressive. The Pain might manage to claw their way to victory, like in their last two series, but I'm going to say the Young'ns take this in seven.
