It's the eve of the 2005....errr...wait....2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Last year's playoffs were uhhh...interesting. Hopefully this year's run can match that and then some maybe. So here's the deal. In 2004 I predicted the results of three seperate series and I was EXACTLY right on TWO of those occasions. I picked Calgary over Vancouver in 7 in the first round and they won in 7. I picked Calgary over San Jose in 6 and they won in 6. Then I picked Calgary over Tampa Bay in 7 and the series did go 7, but it didn't go my way. So here's the deal. I am going to tell you the results so you can know. Everyone makes mistakes every once in a while, but it don't happen again with me. It will not!

So CALGARY vs. ANAHEIM

I predict....

CALGARY in FIVE

Sorry Ducks, I know most of the experts say this will be a tight series, but I have to play my gut which I did last time. Two weeks ago when asked who I'd like to see Calgary play I said, "Anaheim". Not that I think they can't win, but the matchup is not a good one for the Ducks. Their strengths are easily countered by the Flames. The Flames will take all three matchups at the Dome and win one in the Pond.

Oh by the way, I'd like to refer all of you to The Cantaloupe! It's http://thecantaloupe.blogspot.com for those of you who don't know. It's other rambling and whatever from some hack (me).
