OFFICIAL NHL PLAYOFFS THREAD.... BLACKHAWKS WIN STANLEY CUP

Flyers Blackhawks? Ugh, I guess I'll pull for Chicago and I think they will probably take it in 6
 
Wow.

It's a good Stanley Cup match-up. Not the prettiest, but as a hockey fan, one that you can appreciate.

Still sticking with my prediction I made early in the playoffs. *Chicago*
 
Ole ole ole olaaaAaaaaaayyyyyyyy

im still amazed.


new head coach, going from no system to lavi's system

injuries....7 goalies, carter, gagne injuries.


amazing.

finally playing like they are supposed to, a 100+ point team..


hopefully it continues
 
I think MTL losing just makes me more upset the Pens laid an egg against them, but the Flyers, I don't like them but have to respect how they have gone about these playoffs.
 
Mike Richards touched the Wales trophy.  toews didn't touch the campbell trophy.

Flyers are going to win, and Hossa is going to lose his 3rd straight SCF appearance.

TSN was showing a clip of a look-in of Philly at night.  there were so many people celebrating the Flyers win.  I thought it was in Canada.  Didn't know there were that much people that cared about the Flyers moving onto the Finals

That +@%$ is gonna curse Toews.

Pronger has had a dominant run since the lockout in shutting down the top opposing players and anchoring defenses throughout playoff runs and he just shut down the playoffs' hottest scorer in Cammalleri, who's to say Toews, Kane and Hossa aren't next?  Carolina was supposed to run through Edmonton.  Staal was a better player in 06 that either Kane, Toews or Hossa now and Pronger shut him, Whitney and Erik Cole down pretty much single handedly.  I think Chicago takes it but in 7.

The thought of Laviolette winning two of the last five Cups is crazy

yeah Gagne, Richards, Carter, Briere, Giroux, Pronger, and Co.... are all scrubs. They should just cancel the series and just give the cup to the Hawks

i know regular season doesnt mean squat but the Flyers did beat the Hawks when they were in one of there losing streaks. 

Remember (preseason) alot of people were picking the Flyers to go to the Finals, some winning it. Like I said before, this is the Flyer squad people expected to see.

Relax a bit dude, peoples are opinions should mean nothing to you, because it's their opinion. 

Enjoy the series.
 
I know I have been abrasive... I was trying to be. I really think that the Flyers will have to play hockey well over their heads for 7 games to have a chance. I mean come on, the Hawks SHOULD win this series.

Hasn't anyone learned anything in here yet? I will laugh my %!! off if Philly wins it all.
 
Pens and Caps should've beat MTL, Bruins should've beaten Philly, I think we've learned that should means nothing in the NHL Playoffs
 
I know this doesn't have anything to do with the Stanley Cup, but I figured I'd add it here since we don't have a NHL offseason thread yet.


LIGHTNING INTRODUCE YZERMAN AS GENERAL MANAGER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
5/25/2010 3:06:19 PM


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning, who have missed the playoffs for three years in a row in a slide since their 2004 Stanley Cup championship, have hired former Red Wings great Steve Yzerman as their new general manager.

The announcement was made at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Yzerman has worked as a vice-president for Detroit, the only team he played for during his Hall of Fame career. He recently led Canada to men's hockey gold as Hockey Canada executive director at the Vancouver Games.

Last month, Tampa Bay's new owner, Jeff Vinik, fired coach Rick Tocchet and general manager Brian Lawton after the struggling franchise missed the playoffs again. The GM's two-year contract was due to expire in June.

Yzerman was not going to get a chance to be Detroit's GM any time soon because two executives above him, Ken Holland and Jim Nill, are expected to sign long-term deals.

"I enjoy working and being a part of this organization and helping out where I can," Yzerman said this month after Detroit was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. "Someday, I'd love to run a team and if the right opportunity came along, I would consider it. I'm in no hurry to leave. If something good came along, great."

The 45-year-old Yzerman was born in Cranbrook, B.C., and he became one of the best two-way players in NHL history. He won three Stanley Cups and remains one of the most familiar faces of the Red Wings, where he was a longtime captain.

Yzerman experienced the high of helping Canada win gold in 2002 and the disappointment of a fourth-place finish at the 1998 Nagano Games in two of his eight international competitions as a player. As GM, Yzerman led Canada to gold at the 2007 world championship and silver the next year before focusing on the Olympics.

Yzerman was chosen to lead Canada's quest for gold after his predecessor, Wayne Gretzky, failed to help the team repeat four years ago. He made all the right moves at the Olympics, assembling a perfectly blended roster that gave the hockey-crazed country what it wanted.

Before the puck dropped in February, San Jose Sharks centre Joe Thornton said he believed Yzerman's leadership would help Canada reach its gold-or-bust goal.

"As soon as Stevie walks in the room, he has a presence like Wayne and Mario (Lemieux)," Thornton said.

With the Lightning, Yzerman will inherit a team that went 34-36-12 last season and has made three coaching changes in two years. Since winning the 2004 championship, Tampa Bay has not advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs.

Vinik, a Boston financier who purchased the team from a group that owned the Lightning less than two years, is seeking stability after watching the club climb into playoff contention in early February, only to fade after the Olympic break. The team's highest-paid player, captain Vincent Lecavalier, has a no-trade clause in his contract and has said he'd like to help the club get back to the playoffs.

The biggest bright spot last season was the development of Steven Stamkos. The top pick in the 2008 NHL draft scored his 51st goal in the season finale.

I have mixed feelings about this. I am sad to see Stevie go, but I am happy for him and wish him the very best.

i wish him the best of luck. i like him and i like the lightning so i hope it works out for the both of them

This. Philly is almost as talented as Chicago. Only problem for me is I still have a little more faith in Niemi than Leighton.
BTW I picked Philly to win the Cup before the season started. (Although that changed many times since)

I can tell you've never played hockey and don't really know much about what you are saying.
