*First off I wanted to apologize for not posting in a long time its because of school....
Tonight was the night, the NHL began another season and it seems like yesterday I saw Sidney Crosby raise the Stanley Cup over his head, wow time flies!!
Yesterday the Pittsburgh Penguins recieved their Stanley Cup Championship rings. WOW! Is all I can say, I mean 168 diamonds and decked out with well everything, Stanley Cups from the past and the logos of the teams they defeated on the way. The design is great!
The match-ups tonight are
- Caps vs. Bruins 4-1 Final Capitals with the win, Ovie with two goals!
- Canadians vs. Leafs 4-3 Canadians with the win in OT
- Sharks vs. Colorado Second Period score Sharks 2 - Avalanche 4
- Canucks vs. Flames Second Period score Flames 3 - Canucks 1
- Panthers vs. Blackhawks
- Blues vs. Red Wings
- Flyers vs. Hurricanes
- Rangers vs. Defending Stanley Cup Champions the Pittsburgh Penguins
Also another side note is Mats Sudin has officially retired.
Brendan Shanahan and the New Jersey Devils are no longer
Now if your a Penguin fan or you know me, you know I don't care for Alex Ovechkin, I respect the way he plays the game and the things he does on the ice, but I think his attitude and goal celebrations could be toned down. But tonight, tonight he played HIS hockey, he scored two goals against the Boston Bruins who are supposed to be one of the teams to beat in the East but after tonight, well that could be questioned. They pretty much let Ovie run all over them, I know he is hard to defend but the Penguins did it and a lot of other teams to. So Bruins get it together the season has gotten underway!
EA Sports has predicted who will be in the Stanley Cup Finals this season and who will win. They have done this by using its NHL10 video game. And to no surprise it will be once again the Pittsburgh Penguins going back-to-back! But their opponent will be somewhat of a shocker in a way, the Chicago Blackhawks and well you know Marian Hossa. They say the Penguins will win in six and the one and only Marc-Andre Fleury will win the Conn-Smythe Trophy.

That's all for now....but tomorrow will be some updates on those games and whatever else comes up in the hockey world!
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Hockey!
