Don't tell me I don't know anything about hockey. I still remember the day when Wayne Gretzky was traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings. (It was a sad day indeed.) I grew up watching hockey, okay? And yeah... it may not be as "cool" as football or basketball, but it takes balls to strap on a pair of blades and skate around an ice-cold rink, taking shots at the goalie and pounding your friends into the boards. Ever tried it yourself? Then shut your trap. Ice hockey is brutal. (Todd Bertuzzi's sucker punch on Steve Moore is a perfect example of how brutal it can get.)
But I digress.
The NHL playoffs are underway and several teams have made a case for themselves as serious contenders for the Stanley Cup. "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya" Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild. Better luck next year (ha!!). And I'm sorry, Penguins fans, but this is not going to be your year either. So... who will take home the Stanley Cup?
Odds to win the Stanley Cup favor the Anaheim Ducks at 9/2 and I couldn't agree more. Bet with your head and not with your hearts, hockey fans. The Ducks are not my team, but I really can't see the Vancouver Canucks winning it all... sadly.
