Conference finals – here we come!

So my predictions weren’t exactly what you would call close. At least I picked right on the game 7 that was a blowout picking the Penguins over the Capitals. What a horrible ending to a great series – not the result, but just that game.

vs.

So now on Monday night we can get back to the Staal brothers’ drinking game when the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes meet in the eastern conference final. The Penguins lost in the Stanley Cup Finals last year and the Hurricanes have a Stanley Cup Championship from a few years ago. This should be a good series. I think the Penguins will go on to play in another Stanley Cup Finals this year – but it will be close.

vs.

Out west the defending champions Detroit Red Wings will go up against the young Chicago Blackhawks. What type of drinking game could we come up with for this series? Help me out and I’m sure we can come up with something good. This is a tough one to call – I like the Blackhawks but something tells me to go with the defending champions.

What do you think about the conference finals? Who will be playing for the Stanley Cup this year?

2009 NHL Playoff Predictions

Well it is kinda late to get to this, but here are my playoff predictions – as I’m watching the Canucks go up 3-0 over the Blackhawks.

vs
Detroit Red Wings vs Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks were impressive in beating the leagues best record Sharks, but I can’t imagine they will be able to drop 2 of the top teams in a row. So I gotta pick the Red Wings to win this one.

vs
Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks
This one is hardly fair because I’m watching the game right now. The Canucks are up 3-0 at the 2nd intermission of game 1. They have yet to be beaten in the playoffs and I guess I have to pick them.

vs
Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricanes
Seems a lot of people think the Bruins can win the Stanly Cup. I think they can beat the Hurricanes.

vs
Washington Capitals vs Pittsburgh Penguins
The Capitals had to mount a pretty big comeback to send the Rangers home for the year. I don’t think they will have to do the same to finish off the Penguins.

Uh-oh, the Blackhawks got a goal back just as I’m typing this. I guess I still have to stay with the Canucks.
