Hawks win, and I don't even have to check today's scores to know that #31 is your new Playoff Pool champion.
Last night was a hell of a great game, made less so because of the deplorably bad officiating.
Michael Leighton is a sieve, just like every other Philly goaltender since Ron Hextall.
It's so good to see an original six team win the cup, especially the Blackhawks. They've had a rough ride with bad ownership and bad management. I hope the fans enjoy this--they've certainly been through enough to make this one very sweet.
STFU, Jeremy Roenick. This is THEIR moment, not yours.
Dan Patrick: just...go away.
Next up: The draft, and the wonderful trades that come along with it.
And don't despair: We'll bring you the second installment of the KK awards throughout the summer.

Where are my 5 assists on those 5 goals - OV and Backstrom are on the same line.
They were short-handed goals. But not bc Washington was on the pk, but bc the Caps were dominating so bad that Ovie decided to play 1 vs 5 and give the rest of the team the night off.
Round one: done. And the last place team is the only one with goaltending left?
Huh?
Moral victories!
I'm feeling a first to worst moment any day now as soon as the Wings are eliminated. What the hell happened this series?
What happened? Jimmy Howard.
He is not a playoff goalie. I still have no idea why the Wings sat Osgood, other than masochism. The tying goal was awful.
And Joe Pavelski. He happened. They call him "Little Joe" and Thornton "Big Joe". Time for a name swap, methinks.
WV: aderesse, as in, I wonder where Carey Price's new aderesse will be after he gets traded on draft day.
What... if they did play Osgood, they would have been out round 1. Now it all depends on how well San Jose can screw this one up!
Price isn't going anywhere unless Habs want to shoot themselves in the foot. Habs have no more goalies in the depth chart ready.
Gotta disagree. Osgood may be crap in the regular season, but like Hal Gill he is one helluva playoff performer. His record speaks for itself.
And never underestimate the Habs' management's ability...nay, determination, to shoot itself in the foot. Their record speaks for itself there too.
Franzen is a monster. He shall henceforth be known as Franzenstein.
It was either Toews, Sharp, or Byfuglien... eeny meeny miny mo and I ended up picking Sharp =p
Suddenly picking Gio wasn't such a crazy idea after all.
I'm still pretending that last week never happened.
Geoff - My hatred for the Flyers and their fans has grown to match yours my friend. These people are the scum of the earth. Here's a city who's sports claim to fame is a frickn non-fictional movie character, Rocky Balboa! They have no concept of the game whatsoever. I was down in FL with a couple of buddies over at ESPN club watching game 7, and these idiots stumble out of the bar drunk and try to start a fight with us! And I bet they couldnt name 5 players on the team. And little did they know that one of the guys with us is an MMA fighter, not to mention a roider lol.
I've always hated the Flyers more than any other team. Goddammit Bruins you ruined Spring! :E
With each Flyers game I watch, I get more and more upset at just one thing: nobody in these playoffs have stood up to them. They trapped and pushed around the B's, and we stood around and watched and they're doing it again. Is it the mustaches? Do the Habs and B's think that somehow they have magical facial hair that makes them unbeatable? I swear to God, I just want someone to wipe the f'ing smirk off of Pronger's face, that's all.
Can we have a draft redo?
Apparently Carcillo is annoyed Cammy stuck his tongue out at him. Hilarious article on it. I...don't think Carcillo knows what "being a homer" means...
I raise my glass to Brian Gionta. Mighty Mite, extraordinaire.
Woop!
