Here's hoping the Stanley Cup Final gets more entertaining when the series
moves to Pittsburgh tomorrow night. Chris Osgood has been so bored in his two
shutout wins that I'm starting to winder if he has taken up acting just to keep
himself entertained. And yes,
I picked Pittsburgh to win the Cup. They tend to do the opposite of what I
predict, so I intentionally picked them to win the Cup since I'm actually
pulling for Detroit. Yes... that's it. I don't actually have a rooting interest
in this series- I just want it to be entertaining to watch, and there's some
work to be done on that front.
Elsewhere, the NHL is ramping up coverage of the top prospects. NHL.com has
an article about the top six North American prospects
taking in some Stanley Cup Final action as well as an article on
this week's NHL combine. And if you want to do some advance research on who
the Thrashers might take, there's always
this site. Barring a shocking
development Steve Stamkos is going to
Tampa, and
Drew Doughty wants to go to LA. If that's how the first two picks pan out
who would you take with the third? I'm all for addressing the greatest area of
weakness, and I don't think there's any question where that is.
