Haven't blogged in awhile, but I'm back!

Combined with work and not feeling up to par to blog lately, I just haven't done it. Tonight will be the West and East final predictions. Still working on my Oilers locker room sale story (complete with pictures!) for another day. (Maybe tomorrow).

------------------

Finished with a 3-1 predicting record in the 2nd round, calling two series in the correct amount of games as well. (Sabres in 6 and Ducks in 5.) Heading into the West and East finals with a 9-3 record.
Called the Sharks/Wings series to go 6 games, but thought the Sharks could overcome the Mighty Red Machine, but like last season when they shot themselves in the foot and fucked up the series against the Oilers, they proceeded to do the same thing this season. Guess they didn't learn from their mistakes, unlike the Wings and Ducks (the other two Western teams the Oilers beat last year on their way to the SCF.)

Back to cheering for the Wings. Even though I don't hate Pronger, I hate his wife that much more for her hand in for screwing over the Oilers. The bitch has the nerve to leave him NOW, after we traded him in the hopes that his marriage could be saved. Chris never did give us Oilers fans (or anyone else for that matter) the real reason behind his request for a trade due to "family issues" but we all know it was his princess of a wife. What does this have to do with the 2007 Western Final you may ask? Well, as much as I have gotten over hating Pronger and directing that hate towards his (soon to be ex) wife, I miss the crap out of him and can't bear to watch him pump Stanley around in a Ducks uniform. If *IF* the Ducks beat the Wings and *IF* they do win the Cup, I just might break down and cry; worse than when the Oilers lost it last season. And let me tell you, it was a long and hard cry.

I hope the East wins it though, since the Senators are the last Canadian team standing, but if Buffalo takes them out, the Sabres deserve the Cup after those jerk Hurricanes took them out last season.
Match-ups from the regular season really mean shit in the playoffs, and I don't have the energy to get into the stats, so I'm just gonna wing it. Ha, wing it.

WESTERN FINAL

Ducks and Wings. Oh, the bird teams. Excellent. Two teams that are still on a mission to rectify losing to the Oilers last season. Really, either team is capable of winning this series and the Cup. The same can be said about the two Eastern Final teams as well. But only one will be winning it all. Wings in 6, just cuz as I mentioned above, I can't bear the thought of seeing Pronger with the Cup after the Oilers run last season.
Which by the way, I can watch hi-lites from the 1st 3 rounds (Oilers wins over the Wings, Sharks, and Ducks) but not the 4th and final round against the 'Canes due to losing and all. Not even the hi-lites from the games the Oilers won; I still tear up.
Anyways, back on topic. I would be surprised if this series was won in less than 6 games.
WINGS IN 6.

EASTERN FINAL

Sabres and Senators. Woooo boy. Should be a dozzie. Guaranteed to be a good hard hitting time.
Cheering for a Senators win, go Canada! But if Buffalo wins I'd be ok with that since they got the shaft in last season's East Final, with all their injuries they endured. Both teams are deserving on a trip to the SCF showdown, but only one will get there. Both teams have solid goal tending, but Miller is prone to choking slightly, say when the Sabres have a 2 0r 3 goal lead and letting the other team back into it.
SENATORS IN 6.
