“NBA-NHL….SURPRISED-SHOCKED”
=============

I think everyone expected more in the NBA-NHL finals.  And now it’s almost over.

NBA…I thought Boston would roll the Dallas Mavericks and they have.  Just too much firepower, too many 3-point shooters, too much talent off the bench for Boston.  Dallas has the celebrated Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but everyone else around them has disappeared.  A 2-man team in Dallas, cannot handle all the things Boston sends at them.  Might be Jayson Tatum leading a bunch of bigs.  Might be Jaylen Brown or Derrick White.  It’s the glue that a veteran Jrue Holiday has brought in that deal from Milwaukee.  It might be big old dog Al Horford, playing like he is 28-rather-than 38.  I  am not surprised but Mavericks fans are probably shocked.  No coming back from being down (3-0).

NHL…I expected more from the Edmonton Oilers, but if anything has taught us anything about the Stanley Cup finals, you can ride a hot goaltender in the playoffs.  Case in point Sergei Bobrovsky and his Florida Panthers team.  All you need to know is that the Oilers superstars Connor McDavid-Leon Draisaitl have no goals in the 3-games played in this Florida series.  And no goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and an Oilers power play going (0-10) in this series after going (15-for-30) in the prior 3-series.  The Panthers are relentless.  Have diverse goal scorers and a hot goaltender.  And some job by Coach Paul Maurice and GM-Bill Zito who traded for 18-of the 23 players, who now have a (3-0) lead vs Edmonton.  I’d say I am shocked.  No coming back from this either.
