So in light of all the news coming forward about the Chicago Blackhawks, the NHL should have the Sharks play the Flyers in a 7 game series for the 2010 Stanley Cup. Before anyone actually takes me serious this is obviously a Joke.
Welcome to the club, Shea Weber! All your teammates have been waiting for you!
In other news, every single final from 2003 to 2021 had at least one Vancouer gold medalist playing in it.

I've been lead to believe that Montreal is a bad team the last 10 years. I mean, they did make up about 25% of Detroit's wins in 2019, but being in the top 4 for 3/11 seasons is a pretty good accomplishment.
I dont know if they added Kesler into the blurb recently since reception went so well last night. But now im interested to know if he makes an appearance for that celebration.
The amount of star talent was simply baffling. The Red Wings, led by Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Rafalski and company, were Mike Babcock’s finest team. Experienced, battle-tested vets vs. the up-and-coming Penguins, led by Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Staal, and Gonchar. Throw in Hossa on both sides and an intense game 7 in the latter final. Thoughts?
Here is the full report: https://jenner.com/system/assets/assets/11549/original/Report%20to%20the%20Chicago%20Blackhawks%20Hockey%20Team%20-%20October%202021.pdf I would just like to tell everyone that there are graphic details of sexual assault present in this report, fair warning.

"Later on May 23, within an hour after the Blackhawks won the playoff game that secured their place in the Stanley Cup Finals, five members of senior management (then-President John McDonough, MacIsaac, General Manager Stan Bowman, then-Executive Vice President Jay Blunk, and then-Assistant General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff), along with then-head coach Joel Quenneville, and Gary, met to discuss what had been learned about Aldrich and John Doe. Accounts of the meeting vary significantly, and the participants had limited recollections of the details of the meeting. All of the participants recalled being informed that there was an incident between Aldrich and John Doe involving an unwelcome sexual advance, but, for the most part, the participants reported that they only learned about the incident at a high level—that Aldrich, a coach, tried to “get under the sheets” with John Doe, a player. Gary recalled telling everyone in the meeting what he said John Doe told him—that Aldrich was pressuring John Doe to have sex with him and that Aldrich told John Doe that if John Doe did not submit to Aldrich’s advances, he could harm John Doe’s career. None of the participants recalled being told about the type of clearly non-consensual sexual conduct that is described by John Doe in his lawsuit or was described during John Doe’s interview with us." (page 5)
Bowman recalled that during the meeting, McDonough and Quenneville made comments about the challenge of getting to the Stanley Cup Finals and a desire to focus on the team and the playoffs. Several years later, MacIsaac, in discussing the situation between Aldrich and John Doe with another Blackhawks employee, stated that McDonough did not want any negative publicity during the Stanley Cup Finals. While there was a general failure to recall how the meeting ended, Bowman recalled a statement by McDonough, the most senior member of management in the room, that he would handle the situation. Regardless of who was, or was perceived to be, responsible for handling the situati

I only went back to 2001 because that's when the loser point was added for OT so other point totals may have been skewed.
The previous distinction was held by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2003 at 61 points.
* = Fewer than 82 games were played, point total is 82-game pace

Just a heads up for anyone who missed out or ruined some of their stuff. Shirts are literally like $3-4. Hats for $1-4. I picked up a Kuch and Stamkos Bobble Head for like $4.80/each! https://www.fanatics.com/nhl/tampa-bay-lightning/o-4628+t-36153102+os-67+z-9552-4270306445

I was thinking about the 2013/2014 playoff run the other day and wondered where those guys are now, knowing that only one of them remains on the team today (although more than half are still playing in the NHL). So I spent way too much time making a list of where they are all playing now or what they're doing in retirement.

- Chris Kreider - Kreids has been with the Rangers ever since, currently sitting in the same spot on the top line. LGR!
- Derek Stepan - Stepan played four more seasons with the Rangers before being traded to Arizona (along with Raanta in exchange for Tony DeAngelo and the pick that got us Lias Anderson - yuck). He was then traded to Ottawa where he played 20 games before undergoing season ending shoulder surgery. He then signed as a free agent with Carolina where he is currently centering the fourth line.
- Rick Nash - Nash played four more seasons with the Rangers (including his career best points wise in 14/15). He was traded to Boston, as part of Rangers' rebuild (that trade brought Lindgren to the Rangers, FYI), where he played only 11 games before retiring from professional hockey due to unresolved concussion symptoms. In 2019 he joined Columbus management as special assistant to the GM; his 61 will be the first number retired in Columbus franchise history later this season.
- Carl Hagelin - Hagelin played another season with the Rangers before being traded to Anaheim, where he struggled to produced. The Ducks traded him to Pittsburgh where he played for four seasons, w
