It's Stanley Cup Final (because there's only one final round). The NHL's grammar is much better than the NBA's. They actually call theirs Finals.

- ulf 17y agoThey play at least 4 games (or 5, given the current situation), maybe that shall reflect in the word. And yes, I am aware that the NHL, too, has a best-of-seven format.
- mattmaroon 17y agoThere are up to 7 Stanley Cup Final games (using the NHL's terminology, as you'll note from its logo http://www.motherpucker.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/stanley-cup-finals-2009.jpg http://www.motherpucker.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/stanle...). It's still the Final round. In the NBA, there are 7 Finals games (which you'll note from one of their logos http://www.sportslogos.net/images/logos/6/981/full/2986.gif http://www.sportslogos.net/images/logos/6/981/full/2986.gif) which is improper grammar. Not that it really matters, I just find it humorous.
