¶Overall, the NHL playoffs have been great this year. The finals have been a bit lackluster, with Florida dominating, but Edmonton won Game 4 and is out to an early lead in Game 5. Florida has zero pressure to win tonight – they’re at home with a 3 games to 1 lead. Win tonight, and they get the Cup in front on their own fans. If they lose tonight, a bit of pressure will creep in.
¶I’m pulling for Florida but I’d also like to see a Finals that reflects the fantastic nature of the playoffs up to this point. It’s not likely, but I’d love to see Edmonton stretch this to six or seven games.
¶I don’t want hockey to end yet.
