Happy Monday!
The guys from “15 Minutes of Fame” are back at it for another week, breaking down the top stories from across the world of sports. This week, we’re discussing the Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup (and the city of Vancouver’s reaction), we make some NHL Awards & Entry Draft predictions, and the Edmonton Eskimos kick off the preseason!
In the GABBYs: The Capitals run up the score, Boston continues to win, Terry keeps his tattoo and lots more!
It was quite an end to the NHL season on Wednesday night in Vancouver, riots aside, with the Boston Bruins providing a huge upset at Rogers Arena to capture the 2011 Stanley Cup.
Now, when I say “upset,” it’s not so much that the Bruins beat the Canucks, it’s how they did it. Did anyone honestly predict that Boston, who had scored three times in Vancouver over the first three games there, would come out and put up a four-spot in game seven? I certainly didn’t!
One thing that wasn’t a surprise at all was the awarding of the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP to Bruins goalie Tim Thomas – he earned his second shutout of the final in the deciding game and ends up with a 1.14 goals against average against Vancouver. He was absolutely ridiculous during the playoffs and many people were convinced that he would win MVP honors regardless of the outcome on Wednesday.
Here’s the bad news though: that’s it for the season! We’ve got the NHL awards coming up, the draft a few days later, free agency kicks off a week after that and then we’re into the dog days!
Before we completely close the book on the season that was though, I feel it’s only fitting that we look back at the top 10 goals (as chosen by me) of the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs… (more…)
Remember when 40 years old was old?
It seems like that just isn’t the case in the NHL anymore, with the first two days of this week serving as an exclamation point to that notion. On Monday we saw an epic outing from a Duck and a Wing doing something no one else had done before him, while on Tuesday we witnessed an old Bear hitting yet another milestone!
When the current season started there were five players who were at least 40: Nick Lidstrom and Mike Modano of the Detroit Red Wings, Doug Weight of the NY Islanders, Teemu Selanne of the Anaheim Ducks and the senior of the group, Boston’s Mark Recchi who turned 43 on February 1st. Modano and Weight had their seasons cut short by injury, but for the rest of the 40+ crew it has been quite a ride. (more…)
It’s been an interesting week for jersey gaffes hasn’t it?
The Buffalo News reported last week that forward Rob Niedermayer went a full three games (and three different jerseys) with his name misspelled before someone pointed it out to him. While it wasn’t quite as high profile as the NHL’s “Nick Lindstrom” slip-up at the 2008 Awards Show, it’s still pretty bad because it happened on the ice.
At least he had a jersey to wear though!
Yahoo’s junior hockey blog Buzzing the Net brings us this hilarious fail: The WHL’s Vancouver Giants forgot their jerseys when they headed to Kamloops to face the Blazers on Saturday…so what did they do? (more…)
Done Deal?
After what feels like years of legal wrangling and potential owner after potential owner trying and failing to buy the team from the NHL, it looks like the Phoenix Coyotes finally have their man.
The Glendale Star reports that Glendale City Council gave a thumbs up to the lease deal for Jobing.com arena put together by Matt Hulsizer, the new answer to the question “Who owns the ‘Yotes?”
So who is Matt Hulsizer? (more…)
