I think most people pick Vancouver to win, I am cheering on Calgary though....the National Anthem was at least once booed in Calgary, not so sure about Vancouver. But that was probably a few idiot fans.
The Islanders yes, did very very well. Congrats to them.
I’ve a soft spot for the Senators and I usually like the Canadiens so we will see what happens.
Yes, the Predators will have their hands full this series, I wish them the best, mainly because Chicago has already 2 Stanley Cups in the past 5 years. Nothing really against the Blackhawks, if they won it all again, I think you could call them a dynasty.
In case, some people don’t get satellite, I think NBC airs 2 games on Saturday and have more hockey on Sunday. Not everyone gets all of these games.
Potentially, I think the Lightning, Tampa Bay could make a run like last year’s LA Kings did. The Lightning looks good, they have a few Russians. It seems there are not as many Russians in the league this year.
I kinda like Calary too but that was because after Vancouver lost in the Cup final and had a riot, a Calgary paper ran a column titled something like “See this is why everyone hates you!”
I’m a fan of the Blackhawks front office, they can really build a team. Saad is a local kid so we get random press stories about him here. But I agree, they have two cups, I’d rather someone else won, no to dynasty. So, go Preds! ... and I like James Neal.
