NBC means Detroit or Chicago.

Please let it be Phoenix.
After all their soiled diaper crybaby antics last year, I'd love to see them have to watch our banner go up. They couldn't take their drubbing like everyone else.
Vancouver, and San Jose would also work.
Elliotte Friedman seems to think it's Chicago.

at the draft party a couple of years ago, and under a considerable haze, i heard Birdman yell out the following (about 4 or 5 times, i think) - "don't marry yourselves to players!" he went on to reiterate that idea more than once on the boards, and i believe it to be absolutely sage.

I have a feeling it will be Chicago. Detroit is not the same old team that is a lock for the post season any longer. Their defense is a mess now that Lidstrom is retired. Goaltending is average at best, and they are losing Holmstrom up front to further weaken their average offense (yeah Zetterberg and Datsyuk are studs but it stops there).
Chicago just makes sense. The last 2 western conference cup champs facing off.
