the Cup series is here! You have until Saturday May 30th at 7 PM EST to make your final pred. Final scores will be announced after either team takes the cup. (Makes sense, since the final three rounds offer less total points than the first round alone)

DETROIT RED WINGS vs PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

Pens in 6. Detroit is a fantastic team, but all three teams who would've beaten the Penguins in the post season were all put out by other teams. Detroit isn't one of them, but they're still good, so I'll give them 2 wins in this series.

Detroit is by far the best team in the NHL. They would obliterate any other team... San Jose, Boston, Washington (lol they'd probably sweep Washington) but they are facing Pittsburgh... a team, which last year was far worse than Detroit, yet pushed them to 6 games. I have to say for the sake of Canada and God, my prediction for the Stanley Cup Finals is;

Pittsburgh Penguins > Detroit Red Wings in 7 games

Conn Smythe Winner: Sidney Crosby


remember to pick your Conn Smythe Winner!

This might be too late, but I've been supporting the Wings the whole way (and I dislike the Pens), so their game 1 win wouldn't have affected my pred. But I don't care if you discount my pred.

Congrats to GOOSE the winner of this year's hockey preds.

Of note, players who correctly picked Malkin as MVP were Shade and Alex.

And of course, the standings we actually give a damn about:

CAN - 560
USA - 490

Well done Team Canada! This score doesn't look as close as it was; but considering The USA went almost entirely with the Red Wings, where only one Canadian didn't pick the Pens, you can see how this Game 7 was ultimately the deciding factor.

See you next year, hockey fans!

MUAHAHAHAHA I WON.

Amazing by the Pengiuns. Crosby captained a cup win in only 4 years... after all the pressure he had on him since he was 14 to do that, it is truly amazing. He will become the next Sakic, Yzerman, if not more. Malkin will be like the next Jagr, Kurri, Federov... these guys have it made for the rest of their careers. It is truly amazing to see such a great accomplishment.
