Tampa Bay and Chicago are going to the Stanley Cup Final and Ryan Kesler waits to win his championship.

Geeta, Ryan and P Mac get together and record this podcast just after the Oshawa Generals defeated the Kelowna Rockets in the Memorial Cup Final.

They're talking about some members of the podcast's solid Stanley Cup champion predictions from October (Dave and Geeta are still alive). They look at the amazing Western Conference Final, Ryan Kesler's performance and the "under achiever" title that Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry are slowly being given. (Something about those big power forwards in California huh?).

They also talk Kelowna Rockets and the Memorial Cup that Cole Cassels and Oshawa won as well as a quick look at what fellow Canucks' prospect Jake Virtanen is doing down in Utica!

Geeta presents the boys with a "Which Blackhawk You Should Get With" Buzzfeed quiz and talk about Getzlaf's famous last words from Game 7: "It is what it is!"
