2006 NHL Stanley Cup Finals Prediction.
So what seems to be the popular belief is that the Edmonton Oilers should and will win Lord Stanley's Cup this year due to the one-and-only reason of the team calling Canada its home. Hockey and Canada go hand in hand, right? I THINK NOT. Dwayne Roloson, Edmonton's shining star who was obtained just before the Trade Deadline as a result of them giving up their 2006 First-Round Draft Pick to the Minnesota Wild, was injured during Game 1 which took place last night in Raleigh, North Carolina. Basically, Roloson is out for the rest of the series with his MCL sprain and backup goalie Ty Conklin was an integral part of their 5-4 loss in which Carolina's captain, Rod Brind'Amour, intercepted the puck in a misread play between Conklin and defenseman Jason Smith, who fanned on his pass to clear the puck... resulting in Brind'Amour's monumental momentum-shifting empty-net goal to take the lead with only 31 or 32 seconds left in the 3rd Period.
Game motherfucking over for the Edmonton Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes will win their first Stanley Cup title in franchise history in a series of 5 games, or possibly even a four-game sweep. Only time will tell.
