NHL (Hockey)

Yeah it was ugly until that beautiful double redirect GWG!

It's only a classic when your team wins.  I'm pissed

[mclaincausey]

I dunno, I'd still call it a classic even if we lost at home in triple OT, though giving up a two goal lead always stings.

I just wanted to go to bed by the end of the damn thing. Good thing both teams get an extra day's rest.

Well, the Bruins took the second game…  Crazy OTs in this series...

[mclaincausey]

Yeah what a bummer. Another waved off goal too.

Nail biter of a game four!  Can't wait for Saturday night!

That was a weird one for sure. I'll take it. I loved the energy at least if not the turnovers and Crow's glove.

Any time you can make your opposing goalie so this:

That's an incredible gif.  Love it.  It's a couple of minutes into the third period of game 6- tied 1 to 1.

[JCar2666]

The Bruins coughed that one up like idiots.  Congrats to the Blackhawks

[mclaincausey]

Sorry man. Great series, both are worthy champions.

[JCar2666]

Ill live.  Both worthy but Blackhawks clearly wanted it more

[Adman103]

It was a great series to watch either way- some really great hockey from both teams.

[mclaincausey]

I haven't seen a cleaner series with more mutual respect between player, town and fan in a while. I saw a couple of editorials out of the Boston press that were incredibly classy and respectful. I wouldn't spite the Bruins had things turned out another way for a minute.

Interesting article on why the Blackhawks sweater is so pretty and figuring the use of chain stitching as a big part of the aesthetic: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-hwk-0626-hawks-sweaters-20130626,0,5478485.story

That, sir, was a fine contest.

[bagley920]

It was. I kinda like Oshie and Kovalchuk being able to shoot over and over. Adds to the drama

I like it now, was a wreck then. We wasted a breakaway and a 4 on 3 and still beat them on their ice. Such a great game.

Kinda random but I was with my son at a park and ran into this guy and his family. I don't follow the NHL so had no clue who he was until after he left. Weird, wild stuff.

Ok, not really about the NHL, but this is a great article about how weird (but awesome) minor league hockey can get when a Mobbed up guy buys a team for his high school aged son to manage.  "The Sopranos meets Slapshot" is a pretty solid description…
