Probably Calgary's best season for a while...
But yeah, grats NY, thank you for always delivering the prediction points. Now go smash them a la S33 Riga.
For comparison's sake, the last unexpected sweep between two good teams:

3 OTs! Helsinki had more shots once or twice!
Actually I just realised I erased the S37 final from my memory. In any case, it was basically LeBeau standing on his head. We had 50+ shots in Game 4 ffs.
Don't know precise shot totals but Riga had four 40+ games and one over 50. Cologne had just one over 20 shots.
I voted yes because I can not think of an example of something so one-sided between two good teams.
strictly speaking, we have two leagues because the second league decided to exist
Also, STZ is another first-gen (or was one) on the BOG. Gow close to it. FFS, Higgins joined more than halfway through the league's existence.
To be fair, the BOG has become increasingly more influential over the past 10 seasons but I don't think that's made anything worse. I'm pretty confident the average member has more say in the current structure than ever before.
