Round One Themes:
-- Toronto is in too unfamiliar a territory to stop the Capitals.
-- Hey, Tampa Bay…not facing a rookie goalie in the playoffs this time. Have a nice summer.
-- Offense…Pittsburgh. Defense…Pittsburgh. Special teams…Pittsburgh. Pity poor Henrik…again.
-- Flyers? Bruins? Flip a coin. It comes up…B’s.
-- Blue-hoo-hoo. St. Louis goes quick and quiet.
-- One line against one team? Bad math for Anaheim.
-- Plucky Nashville looks ugly doing it, but finds a way, even without Joel Ward.
-- Detroit fans won’t mind too much…their defending World Series champions will be just starting their season.
Round Two Themes:
-- Hey Timmeh… Repeat?...There ain’t no steeking repeat?
-- Miller Time, Sabres with “Fleurys” of goals.
-- Only so far pluckiness can get you, and if you’re Nashville, this is your stop.
-- The team no one wants to play is the team San Jose didn’t want to play.
Conference Final Themes:
-- Russian Machine Breaks Sabres
-- “Better Late than Early”…Kings might not have been best in the West in October, but they’re best in the West in June.
Stanley Cup Final Theme:
-- First a hope, then a dream…now, a mission. “Washington Capitals, Stanley Cup Champion”…has a nice “ring” to it.
And your Conn Smythe Trophy winner as most valuable player…
Alexander Semin (24 games, 14-18-32, +12)
From your lips (fingertips?) to God's ears.
ReplyDelete1) Interesting and fun to predict. Can't quibble with too many of your top picks other than seeing the Maple leafs getting in
ReplyDelete2) I think the Eastern Conference winner will be from Pennsylvania.(sorry caps fans)
I am taping this one to my mirror.
ReplyDeleteI like your predictions although I think Nashville will be a higher seed.

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!

You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.
Well work it out someday
If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?
Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
