A Winnipeg vs. Tampa Bay Stanley Cup Final would be the NHL's worst nightmare for ratings.

That sound you hear is Gary Bettman shitting his pants in anticipation of a Winnipeg-Tampa Stanley Cup Finals.

Opinion Hockey Medium Subjective

The 2018 Finals ended up being Vegas vs. Washington, so the NHL avoided this specific 'nightmare' scenario.

The Celtics have a 60% chance of beating LeBron James and running him out of Cleveland for the second time.

I said it when the Celtics signed Kyrie that if they can run LeBron out of Cleveland in the beginning of his career and then run it out at the end, it would be the sweetest thing in the world... I put the percentage at 60%.

Prediction Basketball Hot

The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics in 7 games to win the ECF.

The Cavaliers will win the Eastern Conference Finals in six games.

I think it's going to be 4-1. Cavs in six. Gentlemen sweep in six. I think the Celtics will win one of the first two. I think they'll win game five, and then they will lose in Cleveland in game six. That is my prediction.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The series went to 7 games, so Big Cat was wrong about the duration, though right about the winner.

The Vegas Golden Knights being successful as an expansion team makes the NHL look like a 'rinky-dink' league.

I think if you're a true blue hockey guy... you kind of got to root against Vegas because this makes them a little bit of a rinky-dink league if an expansion team can come in and just steal the show.
