Stanley Cup Finals - and then some

A Stanley Cup rematch of last year, how much better does it get than that? The only significant difference is that the Penguins are much healthier, and Hossa is on the other side; man I am so stoked. I will try to watch every game, except I know I'm going to miss a couple.

Before, I get to my breakdown of the finals, I have never been so excited about the next NHL season. The Oilers just hired two new coaches with head coach status! Even though it's not even June, I am real hyped for next season; with Pat Quinn and Tom Renney in the house, I really look forward to how the Oilers will perform; I just hope they don't fail like MacT failed.

Third round record: 2-0
Overall record: 9-5

The conference finals weren't very exciting. In fact, they were way too lopsided for me, kind of like how the Oilers destroyed the Ducks in '06.

Detroit Red Wings (2) > Pittsburgh Penguins (4) [7 games]
I am begging for Detroit to repeat. I'm not begging just because I chose them to repeat at the beginning of the year, but because the NHL could really use it; it has been far too long since the last team repeated as champs - oddly enough, they were the Wings. However, something in my gut is telling me that Pittsburgh will win, and there are many reasons to believe so, too. Pittsburgh is much more healthier this year than last year, and Detroit has run into some injury problems themselves. But, in the end, I'm going with my boys in red to repeat as Stanley Cup champs! This time, though, they will win it at home.

In other news, there is much to talk about, but I don't really know what to say. One thing, though, is that our church, NEAC, is approaching it's 25th anniversary celebration this weekend. I'm kind of excited. It will be pretty cool to take a look back into the past to see how our church has evolved, but all in all, I think it will just be another one of those things that I look at, and go, meh. Kind of like a "no comment" type of event, so to speak. "No comment" also speaks well of whatever else that has been on my mind lately. My patience has been running incredibly thin lately, mainly in myself. But I must remember:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight - Proverbs 3:5-6
