Finals
Fret not. You have not been transported back in time to your college days and are not faced with a series of finals you have not prepared for.
We are talking about the Eastern and Western Conference Finals in both the NBA and NHL. Last night the Edmonton Oilers walked a tight rope in the last 5 minutes to hold off a Vancouver Canucks late surge and secure their place in the NHL Western Conference Final. And with that victory all four finals in the two leagues were set. (Sorry about your Canucks @gnilma- heck of a season)
In the NBA we have the Celtics vs the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Final and the Mavericks vs the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Final. In the NHL we have the New York Rangers vs the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final and the Dallas Stars vs the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Final.
Personally, I am looking forward to both Western Conference Finals. I will be rooting for Edmonton of course (gotta support the Canadian team) but the Dallas Stars have looked incredible getting past the last stanley cup champion in round 1 and the cup champ from two years ago in round 2. And in the NBA I want to see if the TWolves led by Ant Man and their stellar D can continue this fantastic run or will the dual threat of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving prove to be too much to handle.
So out of these four upcoming series, which one(s) are you looking forward to and why?
Sats for all,
