Didn't saw this thread before! It's a good thing I didn't bet any money there was a lot of surprise to me this year!

[Mo Z. Dizzle]

LA vs. NYR final but imagine PHX vs NJ 

I'm hoping for the PHX-NJ finals...mainly because Mike Smith/Ray Whitney & Marty Brodeur/Ilya Kovulchuk helped me win my pool lol.

Haha I bet the NHL isn't hoping for that finals though. I picked Mike Smith real late in my pool too, btw. Great sleeper pick.

True says. I was really skeptical putting him in like the first couple of months. Then it became easier to feel okay when starting him lol.

Well, half my wish came true with who I wanted in the finals

This has 2 be the worst playoffs year in ages.  Worst than the evil south winning 2 years in a row.  And will be 1 of the lowest rated finals ever.  The popular teams are out, most in the 1st round.  And the ultimate ratings killers, the boring ass devils.  Pun intended or not, the devils have been known 2 bore the hell outta everybody.  Their own state barely cares about them.  North jersey, rangers country.  South jersey, flyers country.  They've been a winning franchise under martin brodeur but they barely sellout.  Even when the rangers would miss the playoffs a lot they always sell out.  And the team with the worst owner in L.A. the jesters.  Yes anschutz is worse than sterling.
   Things have better change in the offseason badly.  Get rid of the 3 division winners thing & go back to 2 for each conference.  Make sure the redwings stay in the west, not just cause they're america's team, they're the top draw in the west.  East got enuff draws.  Certain teams face each other too much in the 1st round    Maybe the critics were right, too many teams in the playoffs.  Especially fraud teams.  Bad enuff in football & baseball that the lowest seeded teams making it to the finals, WAY TOO MUCH.  More than a trend.
