NHL Playoff Predictions - Stanley Cup Final
In round three, I was right on one of the two match-ups. No perfect predictions.
Once again, damn you Philadelphia, damn you.
2008 Stanley Cup Final
Detroit over Pittsburgh in 6
I hate to sound like a broken record, but the Red Wings are a superior team. Both teams have cruised to the championship. Detroit is well experienced and their ability to score goals is phenomenal. The Penguins are a great team. They have played well. However, it's not their year. Wayne Gretzky's Oilers were defeated in their first Stanley Cup appearance. A similar fate will happen to Sydney Crosby.

NBA Playoff Predictions - Round 3
Again, please bear with me.
In round two, I was four for four! Out of the four match-ups, two were perfect predictions. Now, that's what I call BALLLLLLLLINNNNN'
Onto the conference finals:
Eastern Conference
Detroit over Boston in 7
Western Conference
Los Angeles over San Antonio in 6
- I really think the Pistons can beat the Celtics. Detroit is an excellent team that has quietly gone about their business, while Boston has spent most of the time in the spotlight. If anyone can beat Boston, it's the Pistons.
- The Lakers and Spurs will be an entertaining series. The deciding factor: Kobe.

Pres. Bush Loves Roy Halladay
During a recent conversation with Politico.com, George W. Bush was asked to pick one pitcher he would try to sign if he was still an MLB team owner.
The President's response: Roy Halladay
"[Halladay] is a steady guy, he burns up innings," explained Bush.
Good choice, Mr. President! Good choice. Sure, Halladay's record is 4-5, but we all know that's because he wasn't getting any run support.

NBA Playoff Predictions - Round 2
Okay, the second round has started; so please bare with me.
In round one, I was right on six of the eight match-ups. Out of the six, one was a perfect prediction (Cleveland/Washington).
(No) Thank you Orlando. (No) Thank you Utah.
Onto the next round:
Eastern Conference
Boston over Cleveland in 6
Detroit over Orlando in 5
Western Conference
San Antonio over New Orleans in 7
LA Lakers over Utah in 5
- Don't see anyone beating Detroit, Boston or the Lakers.
- I think the Spurs' playoff experience will outmatch the Hornets.
***
Thank you Chuck Swirsky for everything you have done for the Raptors. I am sorry to see you go and you will be sorely missed. However, I understand why you're doing this and I wish you nothing but the best.
