Hope both teams have it in gear and things aren't decide by zebras, weak goaltending or crap goals. Let's see a game where both sides are playing to win as opposed to playing not to lose. I smell a 1-0 dandy and am picking Pisani for the game winner (I find myself pulling a little bit more for the oil now that their regular season team has to win the cup - although Rollie should get the Conn Smyth if they do pull it all off). If the Canes triumph then Ward should get the hardware. Although if there was ever a year for co-winners, then Brind'Amour should share in the honours. The Canes, could not have gotten this far without Brind'Amour, but Carolina like Edmonton would not have even made it past the first round without their starting netminders coming up so big.

3-1 Oilers, Pronger gets the winner and the Conn Smyth.....He is the most dominant player in the NHL bar-none, no one controls so many aspects of the game. I've always been a fan of his, but until you get to watch him day in and day out, you don't realize the al around affect he has on each game.
Carolina looks exhausted, and yes its the last game of the season, but this is where that break helps the Oilers. Juice has been solid in net, and the boys are playing as well as ever. Carolina looks old and sluggish, and the only way they win this is if the refs make a ton of calls and their PP wins it for em. They have what, 2 or 3 goals, 5 on 5??? Oilers will bring the Cup back home. That will be 6 in 27 years for those counting at home.

I agree with Ron, hopefully this game is decided on the ice, by the two teams. Game 6 was one of the better officiated game of the finals. MacCreary has to be one of the best refs in the past couple decades. Going for a 3-2 final, in favor of the Oilers. If Pisani scores a meaningful goal in this game he could get the conn smythe, if not, who knows. It be tough for Roloson to get it since he misses the finals, but he is the reason they got that far. Pronger is also a canidate who could get favored if he plays another big game. I think the Smythe will be determined in tonights game, best performance could be the MVP. Cam Ward has played an unbelievable series, and has surprised me on how good he is. The Oilers should win tonight and it should be a great game.
