The Colorado Avalanche are gearing up for the NHL Scouting Combine (May 29 to June 3), Expansion Draft (results announced June 21) and the Entry Draft (June 23 – 24). Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh and Nashville two yellow-clad teams are getting ready to battle it out for sports’ ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup.
I’ve had some trouble picking this year’s bracket. I had a team that’s appeared in the Cup Finals a lot recently doing so again, but I thought it would be the Chicago Blackhawks. And I thought they’d eventually lose to the Washington Capitals.
When the Blackhawks got eliminated, I figured it would be the Anaheim Ducks facing the Caps eventually.
