Last night in game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals the Philadelphia Flyers convincingly tied the series with the Chicago Blackhawks. We are now assured to have at least 6 games. This has been one of the most exciting finals I can remember in a long time. The 'Hawks should have run over the Flyers and it looked like that may happen.
There seems to be a buzz around this series. It is probably a combination of two hockey cities in the finals and the NBA is doing the same old Celtics - Lakers final.
The teams have some characters on them. It's easy to get caught up in the extra story lines. The Flyers throwback to the 70's with God Bless America, sure gets the crowd going before the game. The organ in Chicago reminds us of a simpler time in hockey.
What is really making this series great is the complete effort put out by both teams. Whoever loses won't have lost due to a lack of effort.
So with three games to go a winner needs to be predicted. This is tough but I still think Chicago is going to win. I also think Jon Towes needs to shave off his beard. If you were in doubt it definitely shows off his Mennonite heritage. This is fine but it doesn't look too mean or scary, and I'm sure it doesn't strike any fear in Chris Pronger's heart.
