Montreal Canadiens, especially on their home ice. This, some would say, was evident in their playoff series vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning which they swept 4-0. Now the Canadiens sit up 2-1 over the President Cup winning Boston Bruins. I fully expect to see the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Finals. Not necessarily because of this "conspiracy" but because of another one: namely the $5.2 billion dollar deal the NHL cut with Rogers Broadcasting for the rights to Hockey Night in Canada. It's the largest deal in league history. The Canadiens themselves just inked a new 12-year broadcast deal with RDS which included naming rights to their arena. I think perhaps it's now time for the Stanley Cup to come "home" and reinvigorate Canadian viewers. Follow the money...
Round Two playoff series in the NHL was guaranteed to go at least six games. In the end, three of the four went the full seven: NYR-PIT, BOS-MON, and LA-ANA. That's a very good thing for the NHL and its broadcast partners, the NBC Sports Networks.
LA-CHI and NYR-MON. That's the two most recent Cup winners facing off in one series along with two of the hallowed "Original 6" teams in the other. As mentioned previously, I still foresee the Canadiens in the Finals, if not winning it all. Which team is a better story at this point?
