Good day all, Hope you all are doing well. I been gone a few days again mostly due to some away time for the Memorial Day holiday. Now life is returning to normal again. I am getting excited for the Stanley Cup series starting on June 3rd. The Vegas Golden Knights will face the Florida Panthers. I will be pulling for the Panthers to win it. I am not really one to look at the odds as they are in favor of the Knights but then again if you look at the odds the Panthers should not have gotten this far, yet here they are, going for the championship. The Panthers came into the playoffs as the last seed. They made the playoffs due to the Chicago Blackhawks beating out the Pittsburgh Penguins at the end of the season. The Panthers as the 8th seed had to beat the number one team in the league, the Boston Bruins which they handled just fine winning 4-1 games in a best of 7. They then went on to play Toronto Maple Leafs beating them 4-1 in the best of seven. Both times the odds were not in their favor. They then went on to play the Carolina Hurricanes, again not expected to win that series either. They totally dominated them winning 4 straight to take that series. I guess we will see if they have enough in the tank to continue and win the Stanley Cup. Both teams have been to the championship in the past but neither has won it. So, this will be a first for someone. Hope you all have a good day.

When a sports franchise has the chance to win their first sports title, the fans of that team will be excited to see history being made.

@Bensen32 I can relate to it since New Orleans Saints were very happy that their team won and only Super Bowl in 2009.

@Deepizzaguy Yeah, in football I waited many years for the Seattle Seahawks to finally win one.

Tonight starts the NBA finals too. I wonder if anyone will be torn between watching them.

Oh, I don't pay attention to any other sports besides hockey. I mean I was aware that the NBA was in the playoffs to but no idea who is playing who.
