2018 NBA Finals: Is This Huge Issue Being Overlooked?

The NHL, Too, Is Far From Predictable!

Finally, we have the NHL and the Stanley Cup. It's arguably the most exciting and unpredictable of the major sports leagues playoffs in the USA. With plenty of Game 7s, last-second goals, and upsets, what more can you ask for? Never a dull moment in the NHL!

The last time the Stanley Cup Finals has had a repeat matchup was in 2008 and 2009 when the Detroit Red Wings faced off against the Pittsburg Penguins, with the teams splitting the two games. While it isn't uncommon for teams to appear in consecutive finals, it usually isn't the same matchup. Just look at this year's finals as an example: the Washington Capitals, who have never won a Stanley Cup and haven't appeared in the Finals since the 1997-98 season, are taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights, an expansion team in their first year of existence. If that isn't parity and unpredictability I don't know what is.
