Stanley Cup Predictions
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing. And in all honesty, there is no guaranteed winner. Each division has a powerhouse, and there have been upsets left and right. The Islanders beat the Penguins in six games. The Montreal Canadians came back fro being down 3-1 and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games. Then the Canadians beat the Cup-favorite Winnipeg Jets in four games with a clean sweep. As you can see, predictions are being proven wrong time and time again.
Starting off, there are two teams that could win it. The Canadians are hot, and they are winning games they shouldn’t, which is why they won’t stop whining until the Stanley Cup Final. If the Las Vegas Golden Knights pull off the upset over the offensively powered Colorado Avalanche, there is no stopping the Canadians. With Carey Price playing like vintage Carey Price, there’s no offense that can get pucks past him. With a .935 save percentage, it will be hard for any team. For the Eastern Conference, the Tampa Bay Lightning won the series in five games over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Islanders are up 3-2 in the series and have game 6 June 9th at home in the Coliseum, but if they win, that’ as far as they will get. The Lightning are way too overpowered of a team being perfectly balanced on offense, defense, and goalie play. The Lightning will play the Canadians in the Cup final, and the Lightning will be way too much to handle and will win the cup final in game 5.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris details the story of a woman named Ada Harris slowly entering her 60’s. Mrs. Harris is a maid who works for a wealthy Lady Dant. After finding out her MIA husband had actually died in WW2, she started to grieve. When cleaning a house, she finds a Dior dress sitting in a closet. For a moment, she feels her life come whole again. She feels happy for the first time since she has become aware of her husband’s death. After finding out who made it, she made it a goal that to obtain the dress. Throughout her journey she’ll encounter love, heartbreak, happiness, and hope. As well as traveling to Paris, which is a plus.
The movie is directed by Anthony Fabian, and most of the movie’s story points are directly taken from the books it’s based off of. The movie has beautiful visuals and thoroughly composed shots. When CGI is needed for the environments, it looks weirdly better than I feel it should. This movie came out of left field for me, I never expected to like it but it really did come out on top as one of my favorite movies of the year. The movie is even up for some Oscars and BAFTA awards.
Go watch “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” if you need a good “pick-me-up” movie.
