Of course the only pick I got right happened to be the one that eliminated my preferred team for the cup (excluding Pittsburgh ofc).

A famous singer who once was in a satirical musical that was extremly racist. But she sang at most Flyers and Yankees games in the early 60s and both teams still play her rendition of God Bless America which was considered a Flyers good luck charm. They will also stop playing that. It’s because of the “Hockey is for Everyone” campaign

She recorded a satirical showtune song called “That’s why Darkies were born,” which everyone is forgetting was written and produced by a black man. It’s definitely PC run amok, it’s be like lampooning Mel Brooks over his racist movie “Blazing Saddles”

Great job by the Sharks to come out with the win and force a game 7. Same goes to the Canes. I'm rooting for the Stars to close out their series today.

My way out there picks are actually paying off. The Stars victory gives me a third point.

I'm looking forward to these three Game 7's. I think the Bruins will pull it off against Toronto, the Sharks will probably choke it all away at home, and I think the Caps will close the series out in impressive fashion.

I hope I'm wrong on all three counts, but I feel pretty strongly about all three.
