The Off Wing Stanley Cup Challenge Returns
Tell me who's going to win the Cup and you could win a prize (of sorts)
The NHL regular season is almost over and the Stanley Cup Playoffs are set to begin next Monday night (though the final bracket is still TBD) . Back when Off Wing Opinion was a free-standing blog, I’d invite my readers to participate in the Off Wing Stanley Cup Challenge. While corporate websites had folks picking every series, my contest is very simple: tell me who you think will win it all and if you’re right, I’ll make a donation to the charity of your choice in your honor. Ties will be resolved using a random draw of all the correct predictions.
Now, while we don’t have as many readers today as we did in those heady days in the early ‘augths, I like to think we’ve got a high quality crew. To enter, simply leave your prediction in the comment string below this post before 6:00 p.m. US EDT on Monday, April 17. In the meantime, have a great weekend. I’ll be back on Monday with some thoughts about the playoff field and who I think will win it all.
