In a thrilling Game 6 that went into overtime to decide a winner, Chicago ended their nearly 50 year Stanley Cup drought.
Star forward Patrick Kane managed to just slip the puck past Philadelphia goalie Michael Leighton 4:10 into the overtime period to put the score at 4-3 and hand hockey’s holy grail to Chicago for [...]

Game 5: Chicago

It looked like it was going to be another defensive showdown in Game 5 as the first half of [...]

This series has gone back and forth between the two teams as far as goal scoring goes, so Philly fans must have been very excited when the [...]

Game 3: Philadelphia

by Tucker Comments (0)

It looks like Philly is finally starting to find their feet in these Stanley Cup Finals.  Maybe it was the sea of neon orange blinding the Blackhawks in the Wachovia Center.  Or maybe it was the unwavering support coming from the uproarious Flyers’ fans, but it looks like a little of that famed ‘brotherly love’ [...]

Game 2: Chicago

by Tucker Comments (0)

This series looks like it might be shaping up for a Chicago sweep as Game 2 was another victory for the Blackhawks.
This game was decidedly more defense heavy as both teams kicked it up a notch on the backline.  In fact, the entire first period dwindled away without either team picking up a goal.  The [...]

Game 1: Chicago

by Tucker Comments (0)

It was somewhat of a strange Game 1 as both of these teams under performed in nearly all aspects.  Nevertheless, the Chicago Blackhawks managed to score just one more point than the Philadelphia Flyers in their 6-5 victory that puts the series at 1-0 in favor of the ‘Hawks.  Though the high scoring affair was [...]

This One’s for the Cup

When the postseason started all those weeks ago, I can say I honestly did not predict that it would end up with a face off between the Flyers and the Blackhawks.  Though I’m still a bit bitter that Boston blew it, I’ll admit that this year’s Stanley Cup Finals could amount to a pretty decent [...]

Conference Finals

by Tucker Comments (0)

I can’t believe that Boston Bruins lost.  I just can’t believe it.  First they give up a 3-0 lead in the series, and then they give up a 3-0 lead in Game 7 in one of the biggest fails in hockey history.  I. Just. Can’t. Believe. It.
Anyway, while I’m still reeling from their loss, here’s [...]

Stanley Cup: Who’s Still In?

by Tucker Comments (1)

New Jersey Devils v Philadelphia Flyers
Philly became the first team to advance to the Semifinals as they defeated the heavily favored New Jersey Devils in five games. The touted New Jersey offense just couldn’t get anything going against the Flyers who let their good momentum carry them all the way through the first round. [...]
