I'd stand no chance in Montreal or T.O.
I don't think Hockeytown has sold out a playoff game yet.
8-4 record so far, last year I was 10-5 so I gotta go no worse than 2-1 the rest of the way.
I expect a Buffalo/Anaheim final. I can't pick Ottawa to win the Cup until I see them huddled around the Cup at centre ice. Then I will admit that Ottawa can win the Stanley Cup, too many collapses in the recent past. This was my expected matchup since the playoffs started although I didn't post it here.
Speaking of the Stanley Cup, isn't that the greatest championship trophy in sport by far. Nothing else comes close to it. It's beautiful, wears its history, can be carried around and lifted over your head and look cool, and the public gets to touch it during the summer when it visits your town.
I however would never lift it over my head or drink from it, even if Ryan Cleary offered it to me. There are some things which are earned and holier than holy. A friend of mine met Russ Howard and put on the Olympic gold medal he (Russ) won in curling. Uh, no, the only people who should put an Olympic medal around their necks are the athetes. I would hold it but never wear it, just my own personal ethics.
