Stanley Cup Prediction Contest 2013
- Thread starter papillion
- Start date
Not a prediction, just a comment. Back-to-back hockey games in the regular season is a total ripoff for the fans and players - in no way can either team
be at or near their best. Back-to-back in the Stanley Cup semifinal playoff round is just one more clear indication of how low this league has sunk.
I love hockey - give me the amateur stuff any day!

with this fukked up NHL , you cannot predict anything anymore.
its all up to the officials and how they are going to call the game.
looks like the far east is the same and will let everything go ,
wont call penalty's against Bruins , so i think that one will go to boston , even though Pens are a better skill team.
the west is still up in the air......once again Bettman and the Zebras determine the winner.
I dont know if i can do another Bettman run NHL season.

I don't mind back to back games during the regular season. But it shouldn't happen during the playoffs. The Rolling Stones play tonight in Chicago. So that's why it happened.
But with the stakes of the outcome on a totally different level, the intensity and physicality ramped up to a fever pitch, the league, you might think,
should err on the side of quality and give the teams an extra day to recover, not take one away!

I did expect Boston to beat Pittsburgh but not in a sweep, they are playing awesome hockey right now
Also surprised LA didn't take The Hawks to 7 games, Chicago has the firepower and surprisingly good goaltending.
Get your picks in before the Stanley Cup Final starts on the 12th June

Yeah, the Canucks lost because of the refs. So did Pittsburgh.
The best teams win because they are the best teams.
The whole, "The refs are favouring one team" is bullshit.
If you think it's rigged stop watching.
