I like how the goal went off the stick of Iginla....is that poetic justice for you or what? I wanted pittsburgh to win, but what in the hell happened in this series. Btw i wish crosby and chara wouldve dropped the gloves and fight. They were at eachother the entire series.

If Crosby and Chara dropped the gloves, it wouldn't really be that much of a fight, but then again I would have loved to see it xD

Looks like Chicago and Boston. I will predict Boston in 5. Simply because of Rask and I believe the Bruins have a much better defense.

Personally I'd rather see Chicago win it because I hate when my division rivals win it. I'm rooting for Chicago but they need to beat LA first.

Im the exact opposite when it comes to Chicago. Since the Wild will be in their division for the rest of my life I dont want them to get any more accolades to add to their already impressive list.

How much do they look like their Cup-winning selves of yore:
Both teams have the same coach and captain, but different goalies from their wins.

The Bruins’ roster has undergone limited turnover in the two years since their 2011 title. Seventeen of the 21 players who suited up during the 2011 Stanley Cup Final vs. Vancouver are still with the club: Patrice Bergeron, Johnny Boychuk, Gregory Campbell, Zdeno Chara, Andrew Ference, Nathan Horton, Chris Kelly, David Krejci, Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand, Adam McQuaid, Daniel Paille, Rich Peverley,Tuukka Rask (dressed but did not play), Tyler Seguin, Dennis Seidenberg andShawn Thornton.

No longer in Boston: Tomas Kaberle, Mark Recchi, Michael Ryder and Tim Thomas.


The Blackhawks’ roster has undergone greater change since their 2010 championship. Of the 21 players who appeared in the 2010 Stanley Cup Final vs. Philadelphia, eight are still with the club: Dave Bolland, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith, Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook, Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews.

No longer in Chicago: Nick Boynton, Troy Brouwer, Adam Burish, Dustin Byfuglien, Brian Campbell, Ben Eager, Jordan Hendry, Tomas Kopecky, Andrew Ladd, John Madden, Antti Niemi, Brent Sopel and Kris Versteeg.


How they got here:
Chicago was a one-seed who beat Minnesota, Detroit and Los Angeles, Boston a four-seed who beat Toronto, New York (Rangers), and Pittsburgh.
Both clubs survived a third-period deficit in an elimination game AND overtime of a Game 7 to reach the Stanley Cup Final.
Boston did both in the same game (Game 7 vs. Toronto in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals), while Chicago did so in consecutive games (Games 6 and 7 vs. Detroit in the Western Conference Semifinals).


Goaltender (2013 Playoff Statistics)
Corey Crawford (12-5 in 17 games; 1 shutout; 1.74 GAA; .935 SV%)
Tuukka Rask (12-4 in 16 games; 2 shutouts; 1.75 GAA; .943 SV%)


Top scorers:
Boston forward David Krejci leads all skaters with nine goals and 21 points in 16 playoff games. He also led all players with 12-11—23 in 25 games during the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Chicago forward Patrick Sharp shares the team scoring lead with 14 points and is tied for second in the League with eight goals. He had six tallies in 28 regular-season games.

Triple OT finish. What a first game!

This is gonna be a good final but holyshit is it nerve wracking. Crawford was the only thing keeping it together during those damn power plays.

edit: 5th longest final game in history, I feel sorry for people who Tivo'd "only" 2 extra hours on it:
