Good job, Blackhawks. It's been an impressive run of Cup wins.



Ugh, that was painful :P

Haiti wins a hockey championship and no we're not kidding

I suspected the team had some Canucks on there, and I was right.  A lot of them come from Canada, and the coach is George Laraque   O0

It couldn't possibly be as painful as watching the Hawks pre 2007...  it was ugly.

Was really hoping to see someone new take the Cup this year. But this is likely to be Chicago's last kick at the can for a short while, seeing as their current cap situation is going to leave them selling off roster parts at bargain prices.

Same stuff said in 2010 ( in hindsight that was mistaken). Every team that operates near the top of the cap ends up in the same position and are faced with re-inventing their lineup.

Might as well go for the hat trick since I am apt to forget about this thread for awhile ... after paging through the past 3 or 4 pages ... really interesting all Eastern Conference stuff.

At some point I guess you'll have to admit to the West winning the past 3 Stanley Cups and 5 of the last 6 Stanley Cups has some sort of meaning, even if only to the point where the West matters.

It will be interesting to see how Chicago is able to structure their line up, as it still is up in the air (slightly) at the moment. They have a pretty interesting set of forwards if one assumes Krueger is signed, and even if Sharp, Bickell, and Versteeg were to be moved or even any combination of the those three. Moving Saad opened up a lot of possibilities, particularly in light of the Panarin signing earlier in the year.

I don't know what they'll do, and Quenneville usually has a really short leash for rookies -although it is pretty tough to argue against the success he has had as a coach (I might even put it at being impossible).

keep him on one-year deals.  As long as it's a contract year, he'll play great
