2014 stanley cup playoffs

the 2014 stanley cups playoffs are going to be very competitive. based on this years season, i predict that the Bruins are going to be the eastern conference champions, because they are probably the best team in the league and im a bostonian. i feel like the sharks are going to be the western conference champs because they have a good driving offense and one of the best goalies. the bruins are going to win it all because the bruins have been playing like champions all year and would not let it slip last minute. Boston is better anyways!

The automatic bids in the NCAA tournament is fair. The teams with the automatic bids are from certain conferences and these conferences are known to have the best teams, even if they might not have the best records compared to other conferences. There are easily better teams in other conferences who would have greater chance of winning the whole tournament, but its all a bidding system and if they do get elected to be in the tournament, they must prove that they deserve to be there.

           After the boxing final in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, in which American Roy Jones Jr. dominated South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun with 86 punches to Park's 32, the judges awarded the victory to Park. This was a huge upset for Roy Jones Jr. and all Americans because it was clearly Roy Jones' win, but the judges and referees did not agree.   Finally, in 1997, an International Olympic Committee investigation determined that South Korean officials had wined and dined the three judges, all of whom were suspended. Park Si-Hun still remains the winner of that fight when he knows he was not the true winner. It seems like Park had full knowledge on this scandal because his reaction to winning the fight was not surprising to him at all. 
            A scandal like this should not be in a worldwide/ popular event like the Olympics because its an event to show who the best athletes in the world are, not for the simple fact of winning for national pride. The boxing scoring system was changed after this incident because they could not afford more scandals like this because it simply isnt fair.
