 Recap

To recap, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be beating the Bruins in five games.  I also predict, with absolutely no bias at all, and complete and utter sincerity, that they will also win the Stanley Cup.

I will predict that Auston Matthews wins the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL’s Playoff MVP.

Also:

Blue Jackets beat the Lightning in 7.

Penguins beat the Islanders in 4.

Hurricanes beat the Capitals in 6.

Avalanche upset the Flames in 7.

Predators beat the Stars in  6.

Sharks beat the Knights in 5.

Jets beat the Blues in 7.

My last and final prediction (until next time) is that I go a perfect 8-0 with my predictions.  Predictions on predictions? Top that, Ron McLean!!!
