That’s one! The other one is not looking so good. I posted a couple weeks ago that the two teams I did NOT want to win were the Capitals and Heat. The Caps got swept by the Lightning last night completing 50% of my dream. The Heat, unfortunately, are looking like they are in cruise control though…
So what does this mean. Well, for one the whiny bitch Bruce Boudreau is probably out. I’m shocked he wasn’t bitching about Tampa’s ice, their fans, or how they play cheap. The guy has not been able to get it done for an owner, who’s growing impatient. I won’t miss hearing this guy complain.
It means Alex Ovechkin can remain in Sidney Crosby’s shadow for another season. Ovechkin works hard, but he’s also cheap. I’ve seen it more than ever watching the playoffs. I don’t feel bad for the shots he gets because he dishes out some cheap ones of his own.
The good news is we don’t have to worry about watching these two in the Stanley Cup. I’m not going to lie, I think the NHL is starting to panic slightly. They are praying for the Bruins. The Western Conference foe is most likely not going to help them with Detroit about to get run. Tampa vs. Nashville or Tampa vs. Vancouver would be a total disaster.
