Flyers Gameday: Stanley Cup Finals Game 1
I can't even really believe I just got to write that. (moment of silence) This Richards History Will be Made commercial got me thinking:
There will be highlights from this series that will be shown for decades. For the rest of our lives. When I was away a couple weeks ago and missed the comeback against the Bruins and the first two games of the Habs series, when I came back I really wanted to see the goals I had missed. But when I finally watched them at work with no sound I realized it wasn't the goals I wanted to see, it was the crowd's reaction I wanted to not only see, but feel. The 'highlight' I enjoyed most while watching every goal I missed during my absence was a shot of thousands of Flyers fans jumping all over each other at the Wach during a viewing party - sitting around a rink that no one was playing on. People were jumping, hugging and flat out losing it.

2010 last stop, Stanley Cup Finals.
I was not a Flyers fan back in 1997 when they last made the Cup finals. I was still living in Iowa, in between my junior and senior years in college, and had a lot more on my mind than the playoffs (after all, I was a Leafs fan then, back when they were in the Western Conference, and did they make the playoffs that year? No.) But by now, I have become all about the Flyers. Since that time,

Interview with Peter Laviolette
COACH LAVIOLETTE Q. Hey, Coach can you give us your update on Boucher and his status for tonight? COACH LAVIOLETTE: Brian Boucher will be in the lineup tonight. Q. Is there anything -- many of your guys have not been through this before. Do you say anything tonight, anything out of the ordinary, or do you not like to do anything like that? COACH LAVIOLETTE: You know, I've said before, there's so many meetings that go on, you know, and you try address everything and talk about everything so that you don't get caught off guard, you're not surprised by anything that may or may not happen tonight.

Who Are These Guys? – Niklas Hjalmarsson
Photo: 
The Blackhawks have a star studded lineup with Kane, Toews, Hossa, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, and Eager, but they also have a number of faceless role players. These are the guys that do their jobs well enough to allow those other guys to score goals - their version of Betts, Asham, and Krajicek. We'll be profiling these nameless, faceless, assless workers all week. #4 - Niklas Hjalmarrson - Defense Hjalmarrson (pronounced Hammer-time ) is a big, young Swedish defenseman who is currently playing in Chicago's top 4 after his first full NHL season. Hjalmarsson was a 4th round gem of a pick by a Hawks GM who it appears might be one of the best late round drafters in the league. After Hjalmarsson was drafted he played another full year in Sweden before coming to North America to work on his game for two years, mostly in the AHL. This year however he spent the entire season in the show and contributed 17 points while playing +9 hockey.

Workin' Up a Hate for Hawks
CHICAGO _ This is what I love about Danny Briere. He speaks his mind, he doesn't bullwinkle, and if he can't say something that is going to really offend someone, he politely tells you, I better now say this. He is a consummate pro, one of the most congenial men I have met in 35 years of covering sports So how does Briere feel about this Stanley Cup Final which begins tonight between t

Game 1 Recap. What? Yes Recap.

I can see into the future. If you've been following along here all year you know this. If you're new then you're in for a treat. I have used my vast and superior knowledge of science and science to create a simulation machine that allows me to look forward and then tell all of you exactly what a future hockey game holds in store for us. Like getting tomorrow's newspaper today. You're welcome. And now that you're eagerly (not Ben) waiting to find out what's going to happen I'm just going to go ahead and tell you - I hate when tv hosts draw out the results of votes or a contest in an attempt to create some tension that is already there.

Interview with Peter Laviolette
COACH PETER LAVIOLETTE Q. There's been a little bit of a layoff for both teams. Some of the players have been talking about the fact that two teams that don't see each other, don't know each other very much, there might be a tendency in the first game to lay off a little bit and just a feeling-out process at the beginning of the game. That's not the style you play. Do you worry about that, that you would be a little bit looking instead of initiating the first period? COACH LAVIOLETTE: It's not the style they play either.
