Truth be told I'm inclined to agree with you on Boston's luck. That's not to take anything away from their championship. They did outplay their opposition in the post season last year, but I felt things just seemed to want to go there way above their excellent play. That and Tim Thomas was on fire. As for the Avs victory... surprised me, but it's a good sign that they've got the fundamentals of a great team and just need to play intense hockey and give it their all. |
Yeah, I dont mean to take anything away from a good run through the championship. No one has really talked about the current season yet so I had to try to get it going. I don't know what to expect out of Colorado as they were winning the division or tied with Vancouver for the first half of last season. Then they started losing and their youth showed and it became habitual. What will be a good sign is if they can grow from that experience and start winning like they did early last season. The parity in the league it too strong in my opinion, the last team to win the Championship two times in a row was Detriot. This current period of hockey is the longest drought of repeat champions in the sports history. It is good to give every tam a chance, but when every year the teams making the playoffs change a lot there is too much unpredictability in the game in my opinion. It takes away from the fun. I will forever miss the days before the salary cap, but I am sure most Canadians would disagree because it hurt there teams the most. Those teams were hardly making profit during that time and so were many American teams. So in the end I hate the changes, but they probably saved the league from losing clubs that could not paty their way to the best teams in the league.
