When it comes to hockey jerseys, we gather this much from the fans: you favor the old school look, and you like red. Heading into the final round of the Sweater Showdown is Montreal and Chicago, our top seeds and two Original Six squads. Chicago has been quite the punching bag for Montreal in the past. The Canadiens and Blackhawks have met five times in the Stanley Cup Finals, with Montreal clinching each of the matchups. Those games may have been mismatches, but now we've got a top-notch battle to decide -- USA vs. Canada. The dynasty vs. the underdog. Red vs. ... red. Although both teams cruised to the finals, we expect this one to be close.
