ThE STANLEY CUP® FINAL

It came down to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Led by Patrik Laine, the high-flying Winnipeg Jets battled against Patrice Bergeron and the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup® Final. It was a back-and-forth game that featured stellar saves by Connor Hellebuyck and Tuukka Rask, trying their best to bring home the Stanley Cup for their team.

Entering the third period, Winnipeg was up 2-1 on the Boston Bruins until Patrik Laine wired home a goal on the power play to give the Jets a 3-1 lead. Brad Marchand would score late in the third to make it 3-2, but Dustin Byfuglien sealed the deal with an empty netter to make it 4-2, securing the first Stanley Cup in the Winnipeg Jets franchise history.

Not for anything.

They picked Nashville to come out of the West last year and San Jose the year before that.

Nope, I'm just never on board with looking too far ahead.

Has this ever even been right?

The playoffs simulator that EA runs is just for fun. Something like this requires no hand wringing at all, people.

Great...I was reading this thread in the can at work and laughed very loudly...now I gotta let it clear before poking my head out of my "office" in case the boss is in here.

I really don't think I would be able to handle a game 7 in the Stanley Cup final.
