By Tony Abbott -
Those Conference Finals sure were duds, eh?
After both series failed to go 6 games, we finally have concluded the waiting for the Stanley Cup Final, and Game 1 will be played tonight. It's hard to say that we don't have the two best teams in the league facing each other, which should make this exciting. However, I said that about the four teams in the Conference Finals, so what the hell do I know?
More on that in the Noon Number.
Also, our Mock Draft is ongoing, and yesterday we waxed poetic on how stupid, yet again, the PHWA has been during this awards season. Even though I'll do some poetic waxing on my own, I encourage you to check it out.
Let's go to the Walk.
