No Games Tonight – Recap of the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals

As there are no games tonight and all indicators are pointing to a Red Wings and Penguins Stanley Cup Finals perhaps a look back to see what we can look forward to.

Game 1: Red Wings win 4-0.

Game 2: Red Wings win 2-0.

Game 3: Penguins win 3-2.

Game 4: Red Wings win 2-1.

Game 5: Penguins win 4-3 in 3OT.

Game 6: Red Wings win 3-2 and win the Stanley Cup.

Red Wings Celebration

Now I predicted the Red Wings would be facing the Hurricanes in a re-match of the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals but it appears that it will be a re-match of the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. The parallels to the 80’s Oilers/Islanders back to back series seems very apt and I would be concerned if I was anyone facing the Pens as the fire in Crosby’s eyes is scary.

So will the Red Wings face the Penguins or do the Hawks and Hurricanes still have life?

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
