commentary...

you asked me yesterday who would be in Stanley Cup Finals,next June,but to tell you the truth,the bounces of the puck,and if certain things happen for certain teams,at certain times,tells me who will be in the playoffs... i could tell you that certain teams could be in playoffs,and be almost 100% correct,or nearly so... for example,i honestly thought that Phoenix Coyotes,were going to fade away,at midseason,but they had 107 points,and,i believe,50 wins,last season,and a seven game dogfight,with Detroit,but they ran out of gas in last two games of series,getting beat badly,6-1,in seventh game... who honestly thought Philadelphia would make a run for Stanley Cup,beating Boston,in seven games,after being down 0-3,and down 3-0,in seventh game,against Boston,and becoming the third team,in NHL history,to complete the feat,and beating a cinderella team,like themselves,in Montreal,to reach Stanley Cup Finals,against Chicago... Philadelphia made the playoffs in last game of their season,beating New York Rangers,in a shootout... the winner of that game made the playoffs,loser stayed home... Anaheim played Detroit,in 2007 Western Conference Finals,got dominated,until fourth game,fought and clawed,in series,and beat Detroit in a series that i still think Detroit was the superior team,and then Ducks beat Ottawa Senators,in five dominating games,to win Stanley Cup.... point is that you never know who is going to be there,and that is the truth...
