stanley cup finals Stories - Winging It In Motown
Dear Vancouver Canucks...
We openly welcome your schadenfreude in the comments below. Let 'er rip, people.
Full Moon Marks End Of Loony Series
The Moon is blood red as I write this, in a total eclipse, lit only by refraction of all the sunsets and sunrises ringing Earth. It's a deep central eclipse, its totality fully 100 minutes in duration, but with a visibility zone half a world away. Alas, just a few hours too early. It will be a...
Goal Differential in the Post-Season
One thing that recent Stanley Cup winners have in common is dominance on the scoreboard both in the regular season and in the playoffs. With a +77 goal differential, and the best record in games decided by two or more (excluding empty netters) in the regular season, the Vancouver Canucks have the...
Where does Tampa Bay end up in the media pecking order of the NHL's Final Four?
Let's play a little game of speculation. We all know how the NHL and the traditional media regards the Tampa Bay Lightning. Not only is it a "South-least" Division team, but it's also one of those supposedly "unworthy" Sun Belt teams. While the arrival of Steven Yzerman has stemmed some of the...
NHL News: Blackhawks Two Wins From Stanley, Edge Flyers 2-1
After the frantic, all-star game like pace of Saturday night's 6-5 Game 1 win by the Blackhawks, a much tighter tilt tonight by both teams. Marian Hossa put the Hawks ahead late in the second period, and Ben Eager notched the game-winner just 28 seconds later as the Chicago Blackhawks held on to...

After days of downtime, endless "who do you want to see win" talk and somewhat premature off-season banter, we're reminded tonight at 8 PM ET that the hockey season is still in action as the Blackhawks and Flyers drop the puck on the Stanley Cup Finals. Perhaps my personal favorite theory being...
Tampa Bay Rays temporarily turning their backs on Lightning to support Blackhawks
The good natured, light hearted side of me is chuckling and bemused by Joe Maddon's latest themed-roadtrip: everyone wears hockey sweaters. And then comes the bitter homer: The roster and coaching staff will be wearing Chicago Blackhawks jerseys on said trip. Oh, sure, 'Hawks vs. Flyers gets...
The Flyers Don't Have A Chance! Oh Yeah?
I have been reading it everywhere, including this site that some people are not giving the Flyers a chance in hell to beat the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals. While I think the Hawks are going to win as well, I still believe that anything can happen and especially that the Flyers are not to...
Optimism in Philadelphia
No jokes about it always being sunny in Philadelphia. Seriously. Ok, apparently my Stanley Cup poll has been overrun by Philadelphia fans who think the Flyers will win in 6 or 7. In other words, people who think the Flyers have a 55-60% chance of winning this series. Really? I said I wasn't going...
