NHL Conference Finals
May 8
I got the conference semis all right (Kevin can’t say the same), even if I missed the number of games. Time to put my good streak on the line with the conference finals.
Flyers vs. Penguins: This is a tough series to call, because brawn usually beats finesse in the playoffs, but I think Pittsburgh (the finesse team) is a much better team than Philadelphia. So I’m going with Penguins in 7
Stars vs. Red Wings: It’s always hard to pick these, especially when I despise both teams involved. 
The Red Wings are looking like the team to beat this year, and with two quality netminders, I don’t think the Stars have quite enough to take them, even though Turco’s playing about as well as he ever has in net for Dallas. Red Wings in 6
P.S. Sorry, Ang. Being a Sharks fan has to be a tough life!

And Philly has lost d-man Timmonen indefinitely.

Yeah, I heard that during the game tonight. Makes me a little more confident about picking Pittsburgh.

Trivia: The San Jose Sharks stadium was built on the land formerly occupied by the ambulance company I worked for while a student at San Jose State University (motto: “Proud to be the school the Smothers Brothers dropped out of!”). I spent many thousands of hours on that very spot, and now can’t afford a ticket to go back, though it sounds as if there isn’t a reason to.
