The Chicago Blackhawks have not won a Stanley Cup Championship since 1961 after defeating the Detroit Red Wings in six games... This is the longest drought in the NHL, but at least they have won the Cup (wink, wink Vancouver... Nudge, nudge Columbus).
The Flyers aren't that much better, getting another shot to end a 25-year Cupless streak...
Five olympic gold medalists; Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook from the Blackhawks and Mike Richards and Chris Pronger from the Flyers) will look to complete the sweep in this year's Stanley Cup Finals.
Michael Leighton will battle against the team that drafted him in 1999 and subsequently let him go after only 42 NHL appearances with the club over two seasons (2002-03 and 2003-04). Is there any animosity at this point?
Marian Hossa will now appear in his third straight Stanley Cup Finals - with his his THIRD TEAM! Both his first two attempts came up short, and he is hoping the old saying holds true; third time's a charm...
The second-seeded Blackhawks will have home ice advantage when the series kicks off on Saturday, May 29th... Chicago swept the top-seeded San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals.
The seventh-seeded Flyers had three shutouts of the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Flyers avoided having to play the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, making some pundits call them paper bag champions. We will now see what they are made of against the Best of the West.
