edpaffjr.comWith the Stanley Cup Playoffs in full force, I’ve been watching a bunch of hockey recently. There really isn’t much better than playoff hockey. I’m pulling for the Chicago Blackhawks to win this one, as they were often my team growing up. Though I won’t be disappointed if the San Jose Sharks can beat them and win the cup. I can remember when the Sharks first joined the NHL. I think every kid I knew playing hockey had at least one Sharks’ hat at that time. I don’t have much allegiance to Philadelphia or Montreal. Both were big underdogs earlier in the playoffs, and I’m curious to see how much respect they will get now that they are in the conference finals.
In the last round, Philadelphia came back from being down three games to win the next four and take the best of seven series. Another favorite team of mine just did the same thing, the Cincinnati Cyclones lost their first three games to the Reading Royals. They went on to win the next four games and are now in the ECHL championships taking on the Idaho Steelheads. If that wasn’t good enough, the Cyclones won the first two games of the series on the road and are well on their way to taking the Kelly Cup back to Cincinnati. Go Cyclones!
