Cup Final and Draft News
Posted by: Ben Wright on May 27, 2008 at 3:32PM EST

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.
