I wish I was a hockey goalie. That’d just be cool. Cam Ward is my new hero. 22 years old and he won the Conn Smythe trophy, which is given to the MVP of the Stanely Cup finals. That’s pretty sick.
In all honesty, I can’t say I was a huge fan of the Hurricanes before the NHL playoffs started. I’d followed them a tad throughout the season. They were generally my favorite team–I’ve had a Carolina hat for a couple years now. It sucks during the season, though, because the NHL doesn’t have many games broadcast on national television. Hopefully they’ll beef up the coverage next year so I can follow them better.
The finals really turned into a great series, though. It looked like it might be over quick with Carolina jumping out to a 3-1 lead, but Edmonton made them work for it. Game 7 was close all the way through, too. The final score might have been 3-1, but you can’t really count an empty net goal the same as the others.
Now if only the Broncos could win the Super Bowl next year, I’d be set.
