I’m sure you know the Tampa Bay Lightning is playing the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Each year, the great hockey blog Off-Wing Opinion allows readers to send in predictions for Stanley Cup glory.  When I checked last Thursday, no one had picked Tampa Bay.  So, what with me being such a homer, I officially picked the Lightning to win the Stanley Cup (see left sidebar).

Sometime after seeing my bold prediction, Matt Fenwick, of Flames/Oilers blog The Battle of Alberta also picked the Bolts to win it all (this statement is completely untrue – Matt picked the Lightning to win it all at the beginning of the season).

Anyway, the series is now tied at one game apiece, and I have much better faith in my prediction today than I did on Saturday.

Games 3 and 4 are in Tampa Tuesday and Thursday.

Go Bolts!
