This is usually an easy one for me. Not so much this time. When NOLA took two of six in the first round against Edmonton with two other games being very close, I didn’t think Edmonton would make it past Winnipeg if they made it past the second round. In the east, I thought New England was a shoo-in for the finals. Boy was I wrong on both accounts. I have nothing against the Blizzard or the Forge, so I didn’t really care who won. I was maybe leaning more toward Philadelphia since Edmonton has won plenty of championships and thought to myself, “if Philly can make it past New England, they should be able to take care of business against Edmonton.” Wrong again. This turned out to be a great series, going to seven games with Edmonton coming out on top with the eventual Cup winning goal coming with under three minutes left in game seven. I’m not sure either team could have done much differently. It was already an extremely tight series with both teams getting to the finals in surprising fashion (at least in my eyes).
