Bruins seem to have a good shot this year. If the Celtics weren’t such massive underdogs there’d be quadfecta hype.
Does anyone else have a “Second team”? My NHL second team is Colorado because when they won with Bourque it felt like a Bruins victory. NHL is only sport I have a second team though.
A lot of Blackhawks fans have adopted the Blue Jackets for the duration of the playoffs. The Blues are our arch rivals, so the Stars are also being rooted for enthusiastically here.
I was rooting for the Isles to go all the way. Oh well.
The 'Canes played good old-fashioned slam-bam hockey and the islanders weren't ready for it. Hit hard, play mean defense and let the goals come as they may. That is what we used to call playoff hockey.This is looking like it might be the Canes year. If the Sharks don't make it, I might root for the Canes. Now if the Canes win and it's not against the Sharks and they do it at home, I hope they do a storm surge. That ought to piss off the old geezers, like Brian Burke and Don Cherry.
Outside of Boston, I'd be happy with any remaining team winning the Cup. Any of them would be a really good story.
Bruins and Sharks each strike first blood in their respective conference finals against the Hurricanes and Blues. I guess a Boston/San Jose final would be interesting enough.
