That would be sweet.





Go on Chicago.

I really wish someone would give Carcillo a pasting. To55er

Bet his own team mate Carter was thinking that when he made a hit on Kopecky or at least tried to but instead just drilled Carter misses Kopecky

.

He just reminds me of a poor mans version of Sean Avery and that is saying something.



Hopefully Andrew Ladd will return for Game 4 tonight, think we have missed him out there.

I just might watch the game in the wee hours after all...........



Come on Chicago.

Hawks lose Game 4 5-3 to Philly who seemed more up for it as the Hawks put in a fairly abject performance.



What a turn around in Game 5 as the Hawks were back to doing what they have been all season playing with high energy and speed, cycling the puck and not giving Philly time or space and closing down Pronger and making him have to skate and work hard in D and putting in some good hits. Winning the game 7-4 to take a 3-2 lead.



Toews, Kane and Buyfuglien came out of their shells with their best games of the series so far and they needed to. Quenneville needs to stop trying different match ups too much during the game and just let his players do what they have been all season long.

They need to keep up that momentum and take it with them to the Wachovia as Philly now have nothing to lose and will throw everything at the Hawks. I think Laviolette will most likely start with Boucher in place of Leighton who was pulled after the first 3 goals.

If Chicago play the way they did in the 6th game then they will win the Stanley Cup. Get Pronger riled up and he'll be in the sin bin several times and get Niemi to look where the puck is next time as that one where it went through his legs and he just squatted there was silly. If Philly do throw everything at the Hawks they will be picked off quite easily I think so I doubt they'll go daft and throw the kitchen sink at the Hawks.

Was very intresting to see that Pronger was on the ice for 6 goals and in the penalty box for the other due to the hawks making him having to skate and getting him out of position and under his skin.

Get him doing the same thing in the early hours of tomorrow mornig and it should go fine but if it goes to the final game I can't see the Hawks losing.

After 49 long years at last the Blackhawks are now once again the proud holders of the Stanley Cup!!!



A hard fought 4-3 OT win, Kane getting the winner after Hartnell drew the Flyers level with just under 4 minutes to go in regulation.

Although the Hawks celebrated the goal was not given straight away and went for review!!! the rest as they say is history.





GOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKS!!!

I'm with you.

I thought the Flyers were going to win after tying it up late in the 3rd.Hopefully the salary cap won't mean the team will have to be broken up as I can see this team winning a few more cups in the next few years as most of the players have their best years ahead of them.

Nice goal from Kane

Boston Bruins are to play a pre season game against a Belfast Giants select team on Oct2 in Belfast.Bit of a mis-match there unless the Giants get some players in from other clubs for the game.

That'll be worth seeing.
