Re. Game 3, Pens vs. Habs
No explanation needed. Pittsburgh was the better team last night.
However, the series is far from over.

Final Thoughts: NHL Playoffs
- Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins. I'm looking forward to see what the future will hold for this team. I was just a toddler when the Oilers won five cups in seven years. I wasn't alive when the Canadiens won five straight cups in the 50's and four straight cups in the 70's. Don't forget about the Islanders of the early 80's. I truly feel we're about to witness the creation of a legacy. Full credit to Pittsburgh. I didn't expect much from them this year. I was wrong.
- I was really glad to see Crosby back on the bench for the third period. Could you imagine watching your team win game seven of the Stanley Cup final in the medical room?
- Chris Osgood has to be the most underrated goalie of the last thirty years. He's quietly had so much success. If it was up to me, I would've given him the Conn Smyth trophy. From this point forward, I will mention him, Brodeur, Hasek and Roy in the same sentence.
- Definition of irony: The Penguins have won three cups on the road. The only time the Stanley Cup was presented in Pittsburgh was when Detroit won last year.
- When the puck struck the Pittsburgh crossbar, I knew nothing else would go in.
RECAP:
First round - six out of eight
Second round - two out of four
Third round - one out of two
Final round - one out of one
Total score - 10 out of 15, 67%

NHL Playoff Predictions - Stanley Cup Final
Right about Pittsburgh. Wrong about Chicago. No perfect predictions.
Stanley Cup Final
Pittsburgh over Detroit in six
NOTES: I feel both teams have an equal amount of momentum and skill. Both teams have been here before and know what needs to be done. In the end, it will be the Penguins coming out on top. They're younger and more energetic. Regardless, it will be a great series.

NHL Playoff Predictions - Round Three
In the second round, I correctly predicted two out of the four match-ups. Of the two, one (Chicago/Vancouver) was a perfect prediction. Damn you, Carolina. Damn you, Pittsburgh (again).
Onto the Conference Finals:
Eastern Conference
Pittsburgh over Carolina in six
Western Conference
Chicago over Detroit in seven
NOTES: I'm probably going to be wrong about the Hawks and Wings. Detroit has so much experience and a very skilled roster. However, there's something about Chicago that makes me feel they can make it to the finals. They're a great young team. Plus, it's an Original Six match up. Bonus!.....I shouldn't be surprised about Pittsburgh. The Penguins have been here before and know what needs to be done.

NHL Playoff Predictions - Round Two
In the first round, I correctly predicted six out of the eight match-ups. Of the six, one (Chicago/Calgary) was a perfect prediction. Damn you, Pittsburgh. Damn you, Anaheim.
Onto the second round:
Eastern Conference
Boston over Carolina in five
Washington over Pittsburgh in seven
Western Conference
Detroit over Anaheim in six
Chicago over Vancouver in six
NOTES: I should've known better when I picked the Penguins to lose. Pittsburgh is a young team that is going to make a huge impact. I was simply influenced by their slow start this season. However, Washington is on a great roll and that will certainly continue. Regardless, Washington vs. Pittsburgh is going to be a very entertaining series. It will be a battle of the superstars: Crosby vs. Ovechkin...Anaheim may have beaten the Sharks, but there's (hopefully) no way they will defeat the vetran Red Wings. History will not repete itself. I am, however, enjoying the play of Bobby Ryan...Still loving the Blackhawks. Vancouver has a few injured players. It will be interesting to see if those players had enough time to rest and recover.

Wholesome Weekend Reading Material
My review of The Wrestler.
I know, I know, shameless.
In other news, I'm picking the Cardinals to win the Super Bowl. Nothing like a good "underdog" storyline.
