Bergeron with his injuries.

Hossa with a disc problem that made it so he couldn't feel his foot.

Handzus with a broken wrist and torn mcl.

Bickell with a sprained knee.

Many more to come without a doubt.


#because it's the cup


Hockey players...

Unimaginable courage displayed in these Finals. Just wow.

A broken rib keeps some people in a wheelchair ... Bergeron straps on the pads and goes and knock around some Blackhawks.

Hossa was clearly playing on one leg.
Nathan Horton was not himself.
Toews was not healthy.
I suspect Jagr was playing injured.

There's a lot of hints in the statistics... and we may never hear about all of them. Which in itself makes the Stanley Cup Finals unique .... when was the last time an NBA player played with a broken rib? or a FIFA World Cup won by someone playing with a broken wrist or a disc problem? Yeah, I'm biased because I'm fond of ice hockey, but really ... these guys are inspiring.

Just wow.

Bill Wirtz must be spinning in his grave right now.

Yeah, this isn't according to his plan.

More than a few on hfboards took time out tonight to say "**** off Bill Wirtz."


We haven't forgotten him.

Mercy. What a finish.

If The Bruin's hadn't won in 2011, Boston would be on fire right now.

My favorite college hockey team scored twice with :59 seconds left in 2009 and now my favorite pro hockey team scores twice with 1:16 left. Both to win a championship.* Amazing.

*The Terriers needed a 3rd score in OT to seal the deal.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Feeling a little detached. Ending almost doesn't seem real.

It hurts, no question...but I like Chicago. Always have. I can live losing to them, there's no hate there. They play the right way and were the better team. Hard to be angry about losing to the better team.

Now had they lost in 2011....well. Whole other story. I'd have multiple broken things in my room.

Toews joins Gretzky as the second player to get the cup first twice at age 25.

Appreciate the concern.

As I noted in an email to my friends:

First the Heat, now this horse****.

I've got a feeling that the Yankees or Cardinals are winning the World Series, the BCS will continue to be dominated by Civil War losers and some insufferable ****s are winning the Super Bowl.

Great series, though. It could have only been improved by going seven games and by having been won by any other franchise on this planet besides the Canucks.

I meant Lucifer, the Lord of Darkness, Beelzebub, etc.

Still more popular than Bettman!!!

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I'm.......sad.

Congrats to the Blackhawks. The best team in the league all season, you deserved it. It was a treat to play you. Thoroughly entertianing for the hockey fans. Seems a shame it didn't go seven, just because it felt like it should. Heartbraking way to end it for Boston. Would it have been any easier if Chicago had scored with 7 1/2 minutes to go and got an empty netter? You know, just outright winning it? Or was this better? Either way would have been a stake through the heart I suppose.

*big sigh*

I'm sad hockey season is over.

It was an epic/titanic struggle. Both teams could have given up multiple times in each and every game. Well, maybe besides game 3 where Boston pretty much dominated from start to finish. This was a far tougher series than the Philly one 3 years ago.

Other than Saturday, I could never once relax and enjoy these games.

Boston showed a lot and I have a feeling we could meet again. Congrats on a great season and series.
