Hockey Romance Authors’ Stanley Cup Picks: Hawks Win!

I should have posted this last night, but I was too busy celebrating. It was nice to have a win at home.

Yes, I know I picked the Lightning to win in this bracket, but I wanted the Hawks to win. Plus, I did pick the Blackhawks to beat the Lightning in my NHL.com bracket:

Here are the hockey romance authors that picked the Chicago Blackhawks to win the 2015 Stanley Cup!

Mary Smith and Nikki Worrell picked

Duncan Keith

to win the Conn Smythe Trophy!

Our Ferrets, Kane and Towes, are claiming we need to get a third ferret and name it Keith. I don't Know about that....

I would like to thank all the authors for participating in this event. It has been a lot of fun. I will definitely do it again next year.

Now we have to wait patiently for next hockey season. Guess we'll have to read some hockey romance novels to tie us over.

Thanks Everyone!

Hockey Romance Authors’ Stanley Cup Picks: Conn Smythe Trophy

I will be the first to admit this was a near impossible trophy winner to predict so early on. In all fairness, this question should probably be ask once we know which two teams made it into the championship game.

Our ferrets Kane and Towes wanted to introduce the authors' Conn Smythe Trophy picks. Here they are depicted with the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy, which Kane won in 2013 and Toews in 2010.

They would also like to thank the authors that chose them to win again.
