The best time of year: the quest for the Cup
The Stanley Cup playoffs are underway, and so my favorite sports tournament (by far) has begun. Got a nice dose of all five games over the weekend and am looking forward to more. I am really disappointed that none of the U.S. original six (i.e. four) made the playoffs, and wonder if that's ever happened before.
My preferred Finals would have Toronto playing Minnesota, but I would never put my money on that happening.
Anyway, let the games begin! Who's your favorite to hoist the Cup?
