West Finals
Well, the Red Wings made it. In fact, the teams that have had the chance to clinch this year by winning on the road (and avoiding a Game 7) have been doing so consistently. Canucks-Stars is the only series to go 7 games, as my short-term memory recalls.
Anyway, yesterday I said I liked Sabres in 5 in the East.
In the West, I'm taking Red Wings in 7. It's a very tough series to predict. The Red Wings have at times looked very ordinary. And Anaheim has such a strong defense. People also tend to forget that Anaheim went to the finals just a few years ago, though that was a very different team overall. Still, there's something to be said for the Wings and their ability to adapt to other teams' style. With home advantage and a focused Hasek, I think the Wings will recover their defensive ability (even without Matthew Schneider) to limit the Ducks chances at shots. Should be close games.
But I'm saying we're gonna see a Sabres-Red Wings final. What's your call?

Well, how about the Red Wings from the West, and then some freak act of nature occurring to prevent either the Sens or Sabres from making it? Sorry, I just despise both of those teams! I guess I will go with Ottawa, just because I would really like to see Detroit pound them.
By the way, how about those Cyclones?

Twin City Cyclones, indeed.
I wonder if this latest minor league team might actually be competitive.
Or mildly entertaining.
I used to say that my son's youth hockey games were more exciting than the minor league games being played at the Annex.
