Chicago Blackhawks...2010 Stanley Cup Champs

Pens fans can all breathe easy now that we know we don't have to see the Flyers lift the Cup. First, let me say that JR's emotional breakdown on network T.V. was one of the most awkward and uncomfortable things I have ever seen, and I've watched the movie "Happiness" three times. This may make me sound like a huge cornball, but how awesome was Milbury's response, "It's O.K., I never won one either."? Anyway, congrats to the Hawks for all they have accomplished. And as much as I hate the Flyers, I have to give them credit. They went through a lot this year, and managed to battle back. Also, Pens fans, please don't be pissed about Hossa being able to lift the Cup this year. Let it go, now everyone can call it even. I will try to continue blogging occasionally during the summer, but the posts obviously won't be as frequent. I'll probably end up posting some non-hockey related crap just for shits and giggles. Well, that's the off-season for ya! Have a nice summer kids, and I'll see more of ya in the fall!

Stanley Cup Finals, Game 2

Philly 1, Hawks 2

Another entertaining game! Here's the key points (and in case you've ever wondered, I tend to write better in list form).

1. After feeling each other out in game 1, both teams looked a lot more comfortable. The goalies looked a lot less shaky, and the defense made less mistakes.

2. Who couldn't love the collision between Carter and Carcillo? I just loved the little side-step by Kopecky. I'm liking him more and more every game. He isn't afraid to shoot the puck and play a physical game.

3. Philly's power play looked very disorganized. No one seemed to be in sync with each other, and everyone just looked like they were out of position.

4. Joel Quenneville has the angriest eyebrows ever.




5. Everyone is mentioning the shitty quality of the ice. It's frickin June people, and the temperatures in Chicago have been a little above average.

6. As I stated before, I really like Kopecky. He reminds me of T.J. Galiardi, and does a great job of getting under people's skin. He also wears the number 82, just like my favorite player when I was growing up, Marty Straka.

7. Has the Hossa curse been lifted? We'll have to wait and see.

8. It was great to see Niemi back to his old self. Everyone has a bad game every once in a while...it happens.

So there you have it. I would also like to give a shout-out to my new followers! Thanks for reading! See ya tomorrow!
