Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 (Wednesday): Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks
Roberto Luongo, riding the energy of the crowd, shuts down the Bruins in net for Vancouver. Vancouver's stars show up as Ryan Kesler plays big and the Sedins team up for a goal. Alex Burrows, being the douche that he is, ices the game with an empty-netter. For Boston, Chara is a no-show and Thomas gets little help from the defense, while the offense fails to get going this game (similar to Vancouver's Game One of the Second Round, where they completely shut down my Predators). Boston's only chance is Tim Thomas becoming Patrick Roy in net and the offense scoring off a crappy deflection of a Chara slapper.
Predicted Final Score: Bos 0, Van 3
NBA Finals Game 1 (Tonight): Dallas Mavericks at Miami Heat
Dirk, fired up for his first game in the Finals in six years, has a whale of a game, scoring over thirty and shooting better than 50%. The Mavericks have a consistent 6-point lead throughout with a few sporadic runs by the Heat, but Shawn Marion keeps LeBron under control and Bron-Bron and Wade fail to find their jumpers. Bosh gets nothing on Chandler and Dirk, and Miami's bench and role players get seriously out-worked by the more determined Mavericks bench. Dirk ices the game with late free throws to stretch the final difference to the 8-11 range and the Mavericks steal a game in Miami for their ferocious owner Mark Cuban.
Predicted Final Score: Dal 103, Mia 92
