DO OR DIE ---- CUP OR NO CUP

There really is only one thing better then a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and that is overtime of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. That would produce the optimal scenario of "next-team-to-score-a-goal-wins-the-cup". Imagine that. My heart isn't rooting for a team in this series, therefore I'm pulling for a close game that is intense and physical. And some OT (for the first time in this series) would be the best case scenario. That would top off a great 2 months of playoff hockey indeed.

The Hasty's final prediction of the season (other then the Rangers landing Heatley or Kovalchuk in the offseason) for tonight's game is this...RED WINGS. There are 3 reasons why: 1) Home Ice Advantage: Red Wings; 2) Fleury vs Osgood: Osgood; 3) Depth Players: Red Wings. Those are the factors that are going to determine who takes The Cup from Mr. Bettman tonight and hoists it to the rafters. I will leave you with this one minor twist: The Penguins do have those two guys named Crosby and Malkin, who have both been pretty quite of late. Are they do? Scary thought.

Just one more thing, and I'm sorry for anyone who this offends, but while searching the web for the Stanley Cup photo I headed today's article with, I came across this photo above. For anyone who likes Lindsay and hockey, this is a match made in heaven. Enjoy the game tonight, it's the last one for over 3 months. And just think, after tonight The Hasty will have plenty more time and ink to dedicate to people just like Lindsay!
