it's definitely not the hockey of our fathers anymore...  

[phelps 8,284]

by the way, not the most exciting Conference Finals in the history of the league...

 

especially out West, after the first 3 close games, we also lost the competitivness of the games themselves.

 

in the East, at least we had closer games (and they were played better by the teams involved), despite the series finishing in 4 matches only.

 

in the end, Conference Finals not on the same page of the previous rounds.

 

let's see how things go in the final showdown. being absolutely neutral, I only hope to watch some exciting show on the ice
