What if: Chicago vs. Vancouver?
If Chicago had their entire team from last year back, with Byfuglien, Sopel, Ladd, Eager and Niemi, while Vancouver had the team they have this year, who would win the series?
Even though Chicago won the cup last year, I am not sure if even they could stop Vancouver. I am not a fan of either team; I am just curious what everybody else thinks...

I may be biased, but I still think Chicago wins................that team would be a year older and a year more experienced. Chicago dominated the 2nd and 3rd periods in game 1 and 2 in Vancouver (outshot, outhit, more takeaways, won more faceoffs) and if it wasn't for a couple of bad periods and Luongo being amazing, this would be a different series now.
As it is, Chicago's lack of depth has hurt them this series (they were healthy during the 4 games in the regular series and performed a lot better) forcing too much ice time for Kane, Toews, and a less than 100% Sharp.
The fact is Chicago doesn't have anybody as talented as the Sedins (sorry Toews and Kane fans) but that team last year had three lines that could all play 20 minutes a game and could wear down Vancouver's 2nd and 3rd lines and those people are all a year older and a year more experienced. Last year's hawks team was the youngest team in history to win the Cup (3 months 16 days younger than teh 84 Oilers) - not like age would have been an issue.
