The road to the Stanley Cup

Okay. So, I’ve been paying as much attention as I can to the playoffs, although I’ve not watched many games yet. Grading, still ongoing, takes precedence over everything else.

As an Oiler fan, the thrill of last year’s playoffs makes this year a drag every way that you look at it. It’s hard not to see last year’s star Oiler Chris Pronger playing so well for the Ducks and not want to watch just about anything else. Or at least that’s what I thought until I read this….. If the Ducks make it to the Cup, the Oilers get another first-round draft pick. From here on in, I’m cheering for the Ducks in the West, though it’s also hard not to like the Sharks. Once they make the finals, though, I will be cheering for the Eastern team (Go Sens!) to wipe that smile off of the Ducks’ faces in four games straight.

That sounds kind of mean of me, doesn’t it? Given all that happened with Pronger and Edmonton, I just don’t think many of us could take seeing him hoist the Cup this year. I’d like to see the Sens win it all, finally.
