Stanley Cup




Hey Ya'll its SportsGal89 In the Building... I am still learning the ins and outs about the hockey world, my two favorite sports are football and basketball (check out the Game 3 blog from the NBA Finals in a few minutes), but I got this one by special request from one of my supporters so I figured I would delve a little bit into the Stanley Cup match up 2010.
As you know I was going for the SJ Sharks. My entrance into Shark nation came from a good friend Jorge that I worked with in Downtown San Jose. I never really watched hockey that much and when I did it was to see one thing (THE FIGHTS) so Jorge opened my eyes to the greatness that is Shark nation while I was living in the Bay Area and I have had an affinity for the sport ever since. With that said, when the Sharks made it to the Western Conference Finals I was going for the Sharks all the way. They were playing the Chicago Blackhawks, who ended up taking the series and headed to the Stanley Cup Finals.
On the East, for the Conference Title you had the Philadelphia Flyers versus Montreal Canadeins. The series, a 7 game match up- where the first to 4 takes the cup, like most finals can be. It was predicted that the Flyers would be out early considering they were down in the series 3-nil! But somehow the Flyers managed to come back and take the win and the conference title. Now up against Chicago, the Flyers have to claw their way back for a win. Series is at 3-2 with Chicago leading and tonight is Game 6, with Chicago predicted to win.
I don't know where I stand on the issue, but in any sport, I am up for something interesting. I would love to see this series tied with the final showdown on game 7, but we'll see.
I'll update you on the finals tonight after the game, 8pm EST on NBC
