Lord Stanley's Cup
Okay, I know the next entry in this blog should have been about my recent trip to San Francisco and pictures are coming, I promise. In the meantime, another topic I am behind on is my Stanley Cup playoff predictions.
I have to be honest and say that living here in Georgia, I am missing my hockey. This year we got a game or two a week on the Outdoor Life Network (and ironically the one game a year that is actually played outdoors was not one of them) and then Turner South plays some Thrasher games (usually once a week or so).
But now, between NBC and OLN I have hockey overload. Four games in the past two days. It is the season.
Anyway, inspired by Michael Bérubé's "Web" "Log" entry on Cup crazy, part one and with the advantage of all of the first games being played, let me wade into this for a minute (although I won't be as detailed as the entry referenced, largely because I haven't had enough hockey available to me this year to have such insight as Michael Bérubé provides).
In the West:
(1) Detroit v. (8) Edmonton - Detroit in 6
(2) Dallas v. (7) Colorado - Colorado in 6
(3) Calgary v. (6) Anaheim - Calgary in 5
(4) Nashville v. (5) San Jose - Nashville in 7
In the East:
(1) Ottawa v. (8) Tampa Bay - Ottawa in 5
(2) Carolina v. (7) Montreal - Montreal in 6
(3) New Jersey v. (6) New York - New Jersey in 5
(4) Buffalo v. (5) Philadelphia - Philadelphia in 7
I'll have more to say about the playoffs as they continue - particularly with more access down here and spending 27 April to 29 May in Canada. Until then, we'll see how these picks do.
