In the last 10 years, the distant days past, the Blackhawks and Pens have each taken 3 Cups. That's two clubs that took 6/10 Cups. The Pens are standing to make it 4, which would be plain insane. (I can't even imagine the odds, and I'm not holding my breath.)
The last 10 years in the NFL, 9 teams have split 10 Lombardi Trophies.
Last 10 World Series Champs, 8 teams have split 10 Commissioner's Trophies.
San Francisco took home 3.

For any team to 3-peat in a 10 year span is incredible.
I don't think there's any argument that Hockey is the hardest sport to win multiple championships. Not even close.

Anyways, how much chrome are they stacking in Cincinnati, Dan? :lr :lr :lr

No. The banner was supposed to be inspirational so they'd play like they been there.
It did not work.
I can't believe you don't remember that. I think your Alzheimer's is setting in.
You should start eating anti-inflammatory foods.

My boys are on a tear - but they do face off against Nashville on Tuesday - both vying for top spot in the Central.
Hellavu year with 4 players over 20 goals a piece - and a wicked dose of young talent - Connor and Roslivic both having breakout years coming up from the AHL. (The Moose do miss them I think)

Hope you still have 55 in your fantasy league Tom!

Didn't get him this year, Neil. :( I've had and dropped a few throughout the season (Myers, Perrault), but didn't get any of the big guns in the draft.

I'll be wearing my Jets jersey come playoff time, no other team I'd rather see get out of the West and into the SCF with my Hawks out of the mix.

I like this almost as much as when Chevy dumped Kane on Buffalo in exchange for Stafford and Myers (the latter being a home run). MTS crowd chant when Kane comes to town “best trade ever!”

I think Varlamov fell asleep in the last 2M of the game and then OT. Wasted win.

Preds do look like a serious contender again. Just hoping they sh!t the bed at some point in the playoffs.

E.J....you need to get your Avs in and upset the Pregators.

That's right, it's not a typo. ;) :r

Good chance the Preds come out of the West, their defense (and offense FROM their defense) is just outrageous.

I still will root against them in almost any series, with the exception of the Blues if they squeak in to the Western playoffs. And I'll still bet you a higher ed NC or Habano 5'er that they don't win the Cup. Right now, Danny Boy. ;) :D

I'm hoping for a matchup of Preds vs Winnipeg - just have to get past those pesky Minnesotans

I’d be soooooo happy, as I’m not convinced they can win out. But it’s already playoff hockey for the Avs at this point! Win(or get help) or pull out the sticks.
