Here's my Modus Operandi for watching the Stanley Cup Final, regardless of quality of play...I'm only going to watch a Cup Final if it's any combo of these matchups...

Only in the 12 above scenarios will I watch a full 7-game Cup Final.

If it involves any U.S. team at all, whether combined with a Canadian NHL team, or 2 U.S. teams, I don't care, because I already know what the outcome will be before Game 1 is played. The U.S. team will win in either a 4 or 5 game walk, or a Game 7 screwjob of the Canadian NHL club, in the Canadian NHL club's home building.

And I get screwed as a fan of the Canadian NHL clubs because of it.

So there you go. And call me when one of the above 12 Finals matchups materializes for me.

We will. :)

lol screwjob

Vince is going instruct the goal judge to light the red goal light during overtime in game 7 of an Ottawa vs St.Louis match up, thus costing Ottawa the cup.

"I didn't screw Alfie. ALFIE SCREWED ALFIE!"

We'd like to thank Boston and their classy fans. LOL
