What a great game 6.

Awesome Stanley cup games would you expect anything less

Outstanding series :-) Congrats to the Hawks and the city of Chicago :-)

I'll switch gears here for a second to say, after being convinced the Avs would take Seth Jones with the #1....I now think it will be MacKinnon. I think the history of D men taken at #1 gives them cold feet.

First text I got after that game last night(copy/paste) "Toews was picked 3rd the year Erik Johnson was picked 1st overall...tell that to anyone wondering why Avs soured on picking Seth jones first overall. "

Of course that is pretty anecdotal, but it gets the point across...

Probably had on a really nasty lime green one.

Anybody see the toronto sun front page where they thank the Hawks for beating the Bruins? Lol

Congrats to the Bruins on a great season, and to the guts of Patrice Bergeron.

Seeing the Cup skated in person...priceless. Bucket List complete.

Marc, Jesse, I was in and out of Boston, sorry I didn't have a chance to see anyone.

I should get a day with the Cup, Scottie! :-) :-)

Patrice being basically useless the last two games doomed us, people don't realize what a huge part of the D he is as well as the top scorer, this is why hockey players truly are a breed apart, broken rib, torn cartilage and a for the last game a partially separated shoulder. Damn skippy.

Wow just read Patrice is in the hospital still with a punctured lung.

Horton dislocated his shoulder during OT of game one and played the entire series ..

Even Jagr who's pretty much been known as a self-centered prima dona, really stepped up for the Bruins in the playoffs and went with the team first mentality doing whatever was asked of him (*even if he was a bit slow on changes a couple times), he was hurting the last game as well and kept going back in, I have a feeling 20 years ago he never would have considered playing hurt.

Oh well there's always next year :-)

p.s. told you Rask sucks :-)

Hossa has a herniated disc and can't feel his right foot for two weeks.
Bickell a grade 2 MCL sprain.
Toews hides his concussion symptoms.
Handzus broken wrist and torn MCL.

Lots of banged up guys by the Finals every year. kudos to Bergeron for trying in Games 5 and 6, he's a warrior. But both teams had some significant injuries to deal with.

And Crawford does not suck anymore, much to my delight.

....and unlike last time, Tom, the 'Hawks sounds like the 'Hawks will most likely look close to the same when trying to defend the Cup.

GO AVS!

Bah your best goalie was the #@#$ing post. :-)

haha

We are not asking the right questions.


Where is a picture of Tom wearing his neon green jersey smiling smugly in a sea of black and gold?

My goalie had 16 wins, a 1.84 Goals Against Average and a .932 Save Percentage.

My goalie hoisted the Stanley Cup.

haha

Def wasn't trying to compare or make excuses, I was just shocked that he actually played with a broken rib and and torn cart.

Yes that time of year it's the walking dead, I meant hockey players were a breed apart as in all hockey players, not just the Bs.

No doubt, and I still give huge kudos to Bergeron, I don't know how he even played a shift in Game 6 with a punctured lung, much less 17 minutes....Warrior.

On a more important note, my boyfriend Vincent Lecavalier is a free agent on July 5th. Predictions?

I'd love for him to go to the Red Wings and play with Datsyuk, but I think the Canadiens will make the strongest push.

I would hope Vinnie wouldn't put that kinda pressure on himself, Montreal has pretty brutal expectations. I dunno, maybe he would like the challenge.

There's quite a bit of talk about there around here too. :-)
