SWEEP!

The Wings are gone in four. Graeme called it - sort of - in the comments here. They're a good team that Colorado should have played in the second round, so I'm glad to seem 'em out. Bring on the Blues! Now I just hope that ESPN will sign Brett Hull to a short term contract to do announcing or color commentary or just pre-game and intermission commentary. That would be the best thing that could come of this. After all, the Wings are a great team filled (for another few months anyway) with amazing talent and personalities. Some of that needs to stay on the air. It's just good for hockey.

Don't worry. There aren't going to be any mouse ears inscribed on the Cup. Dallas will run the Ducks in 6 games. The Avs will struggle against the Blues, and that series will go 7 games. The Western Conference finals will be exciting, but the play will turn pretty rough in games 5 and 6. Unfortunately, I think the Stars will prevail and go on to play the Devils who will ultimately drink from Lord Stanley's Cup after an awesome exhibition of the goalies against Tampa Bay and then against the Senators who will handle the Flyers.

I hope I'm wrong about all of this. I hope that the Avs will play the Senators for the Cup. We'll see over the next couple of weeks!

Update: Boy, lots of Red Wings and hockey discussion over at the Fark forum where I found these two images. The first was done by Farker Sens. The second appears to be from CBC Sports, but I don't know exactly where.

Well, there are lots of Iraqis in Detroit.

Always listen to the Mouse.
