Stanley Cup Playoffs - The FINAL

I can't wait for tonight. This is going to be one hell of a series! I was pretty much dead on the predictions last round, except for philly only winning 1 game instead of 2, but hey, no ones perfect. Anywho, let's see how I do this time.

This is probably the hardest prediction I have ever had to make... ever. I honestly do not have a clear winner in my mind. Detroit - the best defensive team, and Pittsburgh - the best offensive. Who will win? Some say a better defense is the way to go, I somewhat agree. But can they really contain the talent and skill that the Penguins have? I guess we will find out.

Pittsburgh 4
Detroit 3


I can't really say why I am choosing Pittsburgh right now. I guess maybe because they're a younger team, and I'm hoping they can outlast the older Redwings? Who knows. All I care about is that this series goes to 7 and its hard fought, each and every minute.

Stanley Cup - Conference Finals

Before I go into my predictions I first have to admit, that was some damn good hockey. The Flyers shocked the hell out of me though. I also didn't think Detroit would steam roll the Av's, but damn. 2 hat tricks in 4 playoff games? who would of thunk it... Amazing. Detroit is looking almost too good right now, but Dallas, let's just say they enjoy being the underdogs. I won't say anything on Pittsburgh because well, I am pretty sure we all expected them to go atleast this far.

Well, as I promised, here are my predictions for the Conference Finals:

Pittsburgh 4
Philadelphia 2

Detroit 4
Dallas 2

I would honestly be surprised if Philadelphia gets 2 on the Penguins, and the same for Dallas against Detroit. I gave them both 2 for the simple fact that, it's playoffs people, who knows what's about to happen? Therefore, I was nice and gave them each home wins :)

Again, once this round is complete, I will speak my thoughts on the Stanley Cup Finals. Until then, take care everybody...
