NHL Stanley Cup Final Prediction
It’s always nice to get predictions right, including a perfect call on Tampa Bay in six. I don’t think anyone would have predicted Dallas in five, but here we are. Both series were excellent! Congratulations to both teams on making it this far. This is what all teams strive for.
NHL Eastern & Western Conference Final Predictions
Of the four predictions, three of them ended up being correct. It could have been a clean sweep, but Colorado couldn’t contain Dallas’ red hot offence. Only four teams remain in the hurt for Lord Stanley, and like last round, this one is sure to be a very exciting one.

Congratulations to the remaining team who are still in the hurt for
Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions: Western Conference Quarterfinals
Just like the East, I finished an even 2-2 with my predictions. It wasn’t shocking to see the Predators or Wild lose, but it was surprising to see them put up a fight. Both teams had a lot of holes, but they gave their opponents a run for their money.
Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions: Eastern Conference Quarterfinals
