Q: Wildcard rounds are over and Prague has advanced to play Moscow in the first round? Do you give Prague a fighting chance of beating the Continental Cup favorites?
I love answering these at the end of the week cause I already know the answer. Yes.
Q: New York sneaks into the Wildcard and wins. Can they continue to surprise everyone by upsetting much more favored Bears in the first round?
They did in 6 games impressively enough. But we crushed that dream pretty quickly in the conference finals.
Q: Vancouver & Calgary; Who do you think wins and why? And does this team have enough to win the Continental Cup?
Of the two Vancouver. I think Calgary's goaltending was a notch below despite having 4 defensemen to Vancouver's 3.
Q: Riga and HC Davos are in the other series; what are you expecting from this series? Why?
I honestly had a great feeling about Riga but they fizzled out after the big game 1 win.
Q: Prediction time: Pick one team from each conference that is going to make the finals? Who are they and then who wins the Continental Cup? Why?
Vancouver and Davos. I didn't cheat I swear. Although maybe Prague cones back from 3 down.
Q: Summer time heat; How do you break the summer time heat? (we hit 45C this past week, today is cool at 38C)
Cool drinks and find AC. Also a crap ton of fans.
