The new NHL champions could be crowned as early as tomorrow, with LA having a 3-0 threshold on New Jersey for the Cup Final. It would be great to see the Kings win it for the first time in they're existence. Although I love and respect Martin Brodeur, I would love to see him hoist it one more time. As for a return next season, I would love it, but wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if he decided to hang the skates for a final time. I loved that his father was able to watch him play in game 2, but a shame they lost in overtime.
But you have to be impressed with Los Angeles and how they've preformed this post season. They're perfect on the road, and only 2 loses out of the 17 games they've played. An amazing record for an 8th seed that people predicted to be eliminated by the Vancouver Canucks. Speaking of the Canucks, if Los Angeles can win game 4, this'll be the third year in a row the Canucks have lost to the cup champion team (Chicago in 2010, Boston in 2011, and LA in 2012). Must be bad luck somewhere in Rogers Arena, or maybe the Sedins have the wrong skates on.
Back on track, it'll be nice to sit down with some friends, watch the game, have a few beers and watch the cup potentially be won at home since Detroit won it in 2008 (people can quote me if I'm wrong). Hope you all are able to watch and enjoy what may be, the last NHL game this season before September comes.
Cheers!
