Stanley Cup Game 5 Pick

Stanley Cup Finals Game 5

Hockey fans! Where you at? Your boy at Dirty Picks International has been MIA and I apologize for that.  Sometimes you gotta deal with the real shit, ya feel me? Regardless, these playoffs have been something haven’t they?  The New York City Rangers went down HARD while the Anaheim Ducks went down like any smart hockey fan (myself) predicted.  Bruce Boudreau is not a good NHL coach. END. OF. STORY. Sorry ducks’ fans. QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, MOTHER FUCKER.  Ya’ll should hire Coach Bombay (Emilio Estevez) because the hack currently running the bench will never get anyone to lay down a triple deke glove side when it counts.  America’s team, the Blue Shirts AKA the New York City Rangas, lost a heart breaker.  The offense couldn't get the job done.  Time to rebuild. Sorry boys; Rangers don’t have it in them. Not now, not last year, not next year, not ever.  Rebuild and come back, that’s the only hope for those New York City boys.  If only Messier could come back and lead the way.  

Let’s take a look at what we have going on right now.  At the start of this series I predicted some things, boldly I might add.  I said, verbatim: “Chi town wins game 1, Bolts win games 2 & 3, and Chicago wins the rest”.  Well… if you’re keeping track, I haven't’ been wrong yet.  If you’re on the fence still, just think about it: Chicago is stupidly stacked.  They’re impossibly loaded in today’s NHL.  This Chicago team should not exist in the salary cap era.  We’re talking Toews, Kane, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, Sharp, Hossa, Shaw, Saad, Vermette, Versteeg, and don't even get me started on Hjalmarsson. Anyways, Oduya think these Hawks have what it takes? I think so. I know so.  Tampa is good.  They’re actually really f****** good.  They can bury, they can defend, they play as a team, and they want it.  Tampa will win a Cup soon, don’t be mistaken.  But 2015 is Chicago’s time again.  This squad, lead by Captain Serious himself, aided by Party Patty Kane, will not be denied.  This is a group of bonafide WINNERS if there ever was one.  Roll with me and let’s make some money.  What has Tampa done to earn your bet, honestly? Tyler Johnson has one garbage goal, the triplets line has done NOTHING and the freak goal scorer himself, Stamkos, has missed more opportunities than I can count on my hands.  Tampa is done.  Sorry Florida, sorry CG, and sorry Johnson.  I know this crew will win a Cup soon but it’s not happening this year.  Roll on Hawks.  Party Kane all day on this one.  Throw your coin on the Chicago Blackhawks and thank me later. 

Pick: Chicago (EVEN)
