NBA and NHL playoff rounds are both down to Game 7. We have two series playing out tonight that should be over by now, but in true sporting form the underdog has risen up to give us a couple exciting seven game series.
Let's talk Lakers/Nuggets quickly. We know Kobe will show up, simple fact. Do Bynum, Gasol, and a fresh Metta No Worldpeace make any difference? If its only Kobe we will witness a great collapse by a storied franchise. The Nuggets have momentum and they play with energy. You know what to expect from them and I believe they have a great opportunity to move through to the second round.
Game 7's in the NHL always have a wide open feel. No one would be surprised if the Capitals or the Rangers came away with the win. That is the fun in hockey. Unheralded stars are born in games like this. Many would expect Ovechkin or Gaborik to shine and be the difference maker in such an important game. The cards never fall this way as any hockey fan would attest. Look for the third and fourth lines to make a difference at the end of a long and grueling series. The Caps have played gritty in this postseason, but the Rangers have proven they can play that style all season. I give them the edge in this game, but do not count out the young goaltender Holtby to make a big stand for Washington. As a fan I certainly hope to see an overtime game with Callahan being the hero as the Rangers move on to setup the cross river showdown with the New Jersey Devils.
Rangers 3 Capitals 2 OT
Lakers 99 Nuggets 97
