   Stanley Cup finals
  Game 1 turned out to be one of the most exciting games I've seen. Both teams hit high speed in the third. Too bad Roloson got injured and is out of the finals now. From what I've heard the two backups aren't worth much, so Carolina could win in four games. I'm crossing my fingers for a surprising seven games.   
  2nd game is pretty much a giveaway for Carolina, as no matter what the goalie is gonna be cold. As for Roloson being injured he wasn't much of a goalie anyways. I'm guessing it's over in 6 games.   ;  I think Conklin is going to come out huge. This is his oportunity to shine, and show that he is good. His career literaly is on the line here. If he comes out huge and shows that he is a good goalie, he can be drafted as a fulltime goalie. And if the rest of the team puts their support behind him, I think he'll do just fine.   ;Quote:Original post by eedokAs for Roloson being injured he wasn't much of a goalie anyways.Grrrrrrrrrr! (yes, from Edmonton area, been to games);  Fucking goalies. If it weren't for that stupid little accident this whole thing would be more interesting. I want the cup to come back to Canada, where it belongs, dammit.   ;Quote:Original post by RavuyaI want the cup to come back to Canada, where it belongs, dammit.The Stanley Cup is old, so it wanted to stay in Florida for awhile. It's old legs are slow at walking so this year it'll only make it Carolina. Maybe in another two years it'll be in New York.   ;  Edmonton gave a good shot, but it wasn't enough. Took too many penalties, didn't take enough shots on Ward, and Jussi flopped around too much.   ;  I stopped watching hockey for a few years after I gave up playing, and have been watching it recently. Only to find a few teams have sprung up in the least dense hockey areas on this continent. It's nice to know with this salary cap a city with less then 5 ice rinks can get a team and leach off other teams through equal sharing. Carolina has a good team, but they still haven't won me over as being an official team (Just like Nashville Pred, Columbus Blue Jackets, Atlanta Thrashers, & Minnesota Wild). They should re-establish the Jets and the Nordiques.   ;Quote:Original post by mtwEdmonton gave a good shot, but it wasn't enough.

Especially considering the statistics OLN presented about only 2 teams have come back to win from a 2-0 deficit in the finals. I'm predicting they go out in 5 or 6.
