Pretty happy to see Duncan Keith getting the credit he deserves.
Great final game, great series, great playoffs, great season. Good job, Blackhawks! Hope we can team most of the squad together, but I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of salary cap demolition. If I'd had my 'druthers I'd try hard to keep Sharp but I don't think they can afford it. Definitely lose Bickell.

Ice hockey: RED ARMY
[Click to View YouTube Video]
In the film Red Army, recounting the resentment he faced from North Americans following his move to the NHL, Fetisov cites the south-Boston born John Cunniff, his second coach with the Devils, as someone who wouldn’t even “look at Russians.”
“I don’t know specifically about Cunny, but there were a lot of old school coaches and players who were afraid of those guys coming over and ‘stealing’ jobs from North Americans,” Shanahan said. “But we also had a lot of younger guys like Kenny Daneyko and Kirk Muller who saw what he and Alex could do for us as a team.”
Jim Schoenfeld was Fetisov’s first NHL coach. He was also the coach who made Fetisov a healthy scratch for what would have been the defenseman’s 14th NHL game on Nov. 4, 1989, in Calgary. The game, a 7-3 New Jersey defeat, was televised in Russia.
The game also marked Schoenfeld’s last one behind the Devils’ bench, as he was fired two days later.
“No, I don’t think it was a coincidence that was my last game, but I also don’t believe that was the only reason,” Schoenfeld, in his eighth season as Rangers’ assistant general manager, told Slap Shots last week. “Of course I knew who he was, of course I knew the significance of what I was doing, and of course it was a hard call, but I thought he’d been beaten down and worn and needed a rest at that point.
“You could see he was a real elite player, but I don’t think Slava realized how good this league was and that he had to be in top shape in order to play at a highest level. Most importantly, the most physical players on the other teams were all targeting him and running roughshod over him.
“I had a long talk with Slava. He obviously wasn’t happy. But the times I’ve seen him since, he’s been friendly. If there’s animosity, he doesn’t show it.”
Fetisov played well for the Devils, but was never a difference maker. He re-ascended in Detroit with Scotty Bowman’s Russian Five that included Larionov, Sergei Fedorov, Slava Kozlov and Vladimir Konstantinov.
In New Jersey, Kasatonov was the better player.
“In Detroit, Slava was in a place where they all appreciated his style,” said Shanahan, a teammate for the 1997-98 consecutive Red Wing Cup championships. “It was a different environment.
“We were talking one time about his whole experience of leaving Russia and coming to New Jersey,” he said. “And Slava told me, ‘You know, it was so draining to try to get my freedom, it was such a grueling fight, I didn’t realize I was going to have another fight here.’ ”
The Great Fetisov.
The great “Red Army.”

I'm forcing myself to watch the Rangers loose to the Penguins.
I'm not impressed with the refs, on the go ahead goal #4 there was an obvious slashing, then a retaliatory trip sending the Penguins guy to his knees,
the announcer, play by play was saying - " going down to try to draw the penalty to hide the slash wasn't ... (Going to work ),,, before he got the 3 words out.....he said.."He scored!"
The front ref, behind the ranger net, had his hand up and looked at a Ranger defenseman as if to blow the whistle . . .but didn't.
Squared up the Ranger held up the Penguins then got to have a clear from his knees, have a clean step to throw the puck in front, it went off Rangers Skates left and right, then through the goalie, now before I've hit send and when I'm not through bitching, the Penguins have scored again 5 to 3 the final...
I wanted to say something about th stick play, slashing used to get called so did blatant Cross checks, and the crap of riding a stick high in an opponent's crotch, between the legs at the stoppage of play, that cause fights and is really a Penguins trade-mark. BS not to call it all game!
I hate that I'm at the top & bottom of this page a year apart but still explains the 20 lbs I need to shed....

The Dallas Stars are a force to be reckoned with. My Blue notes barely beat them last night after giving up a decent lead.
Of all the teams I've seriously watched this year, the Stars are the fastest I've seen. Incredible.
