We’re two games into the Stanley Cup final. Which is to say, maybe halfway through.
That’s the pessimist’s version, assuming you’re not a Panthers’ fan. If you’re neutral, or close enough, your main hope at this time of year is for a classic final, the kind of seven-game masterpiece you’ll remember fondly years or even decades down the road. We may still get that, although with the Oilers down 2-0 and struggling to find offense, our hopes are dwindling.
We’ll get a better sense of how this series will shape up tomorrow night.
