What a difference a couple of days make. After game three, with the Kings leading the series 3-0, everyone began throwing dirt on the New Jersey grave. I stand guilty of doing the same (see “KINGS UP 3-0 – I TOLD YOU SO!”, dated 6/4/12). The engraver stood by, ready to begin engraving the names […]

Now that the New York Rangers have finally disposed of the Washington Capitals, we can begin the third round of the playoffs.

This time of the year I always find myself asking the same question – is there a better sport for playoffs than hockey? It doesn’t matter what your favorite sport is, the NHL playoffs take you on a roller coaster ride, never knowing where you will end up! Let’s do a quick recap of the […]

Is it just me or did the first round of the NHL playoffs seem like it lasted for a month? Let me re-phrase that. Didn’t the first round of the Eastern Conference NHL playoffs seem to go on forever? Even the final game of the final series just refused to end! When the Devils’ Adam […]

Now you know why I decided not to prognosticate beyond the first round of the NHL playoffs. This is the one sport that you can count on upsets throughout the brackets. It’s also the only sport that allows the top seeds to face the bottom seeds in every round, so you really don’t know who […]
