Stanley Cup - Conference Championships

Posted by Nerdyy

Yes it is that time of the year again - my second favorite sport(after Football - American football that is) is having its playoffs for the Stanley Cup. For my Canadian(and US) readers you know exactly what I am talking about :D - for my European or Asian readers we are talking about the NHL (National Hockey League) playoffs.

This year we have 3 of the 4 conference championship teams belonging to the Original Six. The Western Conference Finals is a repeat of last years matchup with the defending Stanley Cup Champions - my beloved Chicago Blackhawks squaring off against the Los Angeles Kings (Currently the Blackhawks are up 1-0 in their best of 7 series - Yes Toews Kane Sharp Hossa are all there:D). In the Eastern Conference Championship Series we have a matchup of two storied original six franchises - the New York Rangers (who last won the cup in 1984 - remember Mark Messier :D) and the most storied franchise in the NHL the Montreal Canadiens (who last won the cup in 1993 - remember Jacques Lemaire, Guy (pronounced Geee) LeFleur and Patrick Roy (pronounced Waah)) - with the Rangers currently up 1-0 in their best of 7 series.

Stay Tuned :D
