Today in northern BC we are experiencing our warmest day of the year. Great day to get out gardening, hiking, working on a tan, etc, right? WRONG! Not for this hombre. This series has beautiful history written all over it. Not that the Flyers play the Hawks a lot, it's just that Chicago has not won since 1961 and the Flyers' last Cup victory was in 1975.
Chicago's last appearance in the Finals was in 1992, when Mario Lemieux and the Penguins swept them 4 games to none. The Flyers' last appearance in the Finals was in 1997, where they were swept by the powerful Red Wings.
What's not to like? No Red Wings or Penguins in sight! This should be a great series. Consider this a Game Thread if you are in the "vicinity".

I won’t mind if the Hawks win. I’m not that kinda hater. Not always. I’ve liked the Hawks for many years

To be fair though, i’d guess your dislike of the Blackhawks is more recent because of the last two years. Probably were an afterthought during the end of the Dollar Bill Wirtz era

Back in the day (late 90’s) when I lived in GZ, I used to travel to Macau to stay a weekend night, hoping that I would get to see the last Cup games on the TV there. My best memory is watching that Darren McCarty goal while having breakfast in the Westin Macau…
You do what you need to to watch the games…
that McCarty goal was sick. And the nail in the coffin

Only Pronger inflicts concussions, Willie suffers them.

it's what's expected

both goalies are a little off though, so that’s probably why there hasn’’t been a goalie change yet.

It is a pure delight to see a team with some speed, discipline and a good forecheck take it to chicago.
Also I feel like an honorary philly fan because I got into a bar argument already. Go flyers!!!!1

Whoa…nice save…terrible D to allow that Flyer ont he doorstep like that.
Agreed though…I don’t think the Flyers are well suited to carry on the track meet games like the Hawks are. Flyers need to slow it down and grind it out if they are to succeed.
So, an illegal goal wins the game. D-bags.

that was one of the only bounces they got. Shit they didn’t even get a power play!

This 6-5 score ties an NHL record for most goals in a SCF game. Last time this happened was Islanders – Canucks in 1982

I know this is kind of random
but has anyone seen the hoodies that the CHI/Philly players have been wearing? The ones with the numbers on the front and on the back (name on the back) and the team name on the front. I want to get a Canucks one with any one (preferably Burr) on the back and front but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. If anyone knows of a store or has a link, hook me up please. It looks like this, except in hoodie form of course. I would get a t-shirt but I already have a Burr t-shirt so it would be redundant.

ones I have seen don't have the numbers and names on them
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

Yeah
Ive seen those but Im looking for a hoodie like Hossa was wearing the post-game. With his number 81 in the left chest corner and his number and name on the back. Thanks though!

you are being sucked into a marketing ploy. They are drumming up hype for those damned things and will be released after the finals is my guess. and they gonna cost ya too!
by Sean Zandberg on May 31, 2010 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions
It would probably just be cheaper to buy the ones without the names/numbers
bring it somewhere and have it added

Buying anything with a name/number on it is a kiss of death. Witness my Vancouver Grizzlies t-shirt, my Vancouver Indy t-shirt, my Todd Bertuzzi t-shirt, yadda, yadda, yadda…

I’ll be buying a Black Hawks t-shirt next season.

If they have a Canucks one Im getting it, I don’t give a shit how much it costs.
