Stanley Cup Finals 2010 Showdown

The Blackhawks can hoist the Stanley Cup tomorrow night if they can secure a road win tomorrow in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals.

The Blackhawks played stellar on Sunday, but they were on their home ice in front of their home fans and so far the Blackhawks are 0-3 this season at Wachovia Center Philly. Those flyers fans are intense and you can bet the Flyers are going to give it their all to stay alive and force Game 7 to create the ultimate Stanley Cup Finals 2010 showdown. I will be glued to the TV tomorrow night. I am not just an MN Wild Freak…I am a HOCKEY FREAK...I love this time of year.

2010 Stanley Cup Update, Can the Flyers come back?

The Chicago Blackhawks lead the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in the best of 7 2010 Stanley Cup Series. Critics expected the match-up to be a much more balanced series, with the teams going one for one right up to game 7, yet the Chicago Blackhawks have outskated and outscored the Flyers, proving that perhaps they just want it a bit more.

Tonight the Philadelphia Flyers are on their own ice, with the game starting at 8:00, Sunday the teams play in Chicago at 8:00. If the Flyers pull out a win in either game, games 6 and 7 are scheduled for Wednesday June 9th and Friday June 11th. Check back here for game by game Stanley Cup Series updates.

Who will win the 2010 Stanley Cup? Vote here for the NHL Playoff Winners!

Without the Minnesota Wild to capture my attention and free time, I have devoted the last few weeks to following some other hockey teams, don't worry I'm not abandoning my Minnesota Wild Hockey Roots, I'm just looking to fill the time until the 2010-2011 Minnesota Wild Season. My latest obession has been predicting who will win the NHL Playoffs and take home the Stanley Cup. Without a season of obessive game notes and player profiles, however, I'm not sure I'm really qualified to make accuarte predictions.

Pittsburgh Penguins take The Cup

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins for being this years Stanley Cup Champions. What an interesting twist of fate that the Penguins were able to hoist Lord Stanley’s cup in front of the Detroit Red Wing fans when just a year ago, the roles were reversed. The hockey gods definitely have a sense of humor. It was a great game and a great final series.

Maybe the Wild will hoist the Stanley Cup one day….one day soon would be ideal for this MN Wild Freak.

Stanley Cup Final Game Tomorrow Night

It’s the 15th time in NHL Stanley Cup history that the Final Series is decided on game 7 and this series is definitely one for the history books. Have you been watching? Every game has been intense and is a reminder to me why I am such a hockey freak. I love this game!

The Detroit Red Wings are 11-1 on their home ice, during the playoffs, but the Pittsburgh Penguins are a team that is hungry for redemption after losing the Cup last year to the Wings in front of the Penguins fans. I am so excited for tomorrow nights game I can hardly wait. I bet the ticket brokers in Detroit are making a killing on this game – everyone wants to be there…including me, but I will settle for a ticket to watch the game from my couch! Man, I love this game!

2008-2009 Minnesota Wild Roster

I am embarrassed to admit it but I can't remember a past year when I had lower expectations than I have this year for the Minnesota Wild. The lack of "big splash" free agent signings as well as the loss of excellent contributors like Rolston and Demitra has me longing for the years when I expected the Minnesota Wild to win and go to the NHL Playoffs. However, let's face it, the Minnesota Wild hasn't exactly prospered in the playoffs since their improbable run to the Western Conference Finals during the 2002-2003 season. Every year after that run, I had extremely high expectations to only be let down by my favorite NHL team. I just hope that this year the exact opposite happens where I expect very little but the Minnesota Wild thrives and brings home their first Stanley Cup!

I am definitely going to grab a few Minnesota Wild Tickets for the Home Opener versus the Boston Bruins in order to see if the impressive preseason record is for real. GO WILD!!!
