The Chicago Blackhawks stormed through the 2009-10 NHL postseason, taking no prisoners and rightly proclaiming Lord Stanley’s Cup as their trophy. Then they went out and had to clean house, losing nearly half of the team that got them the championship. Nobody can blame the ‘Hawks for essentially buying themselves a cup. They did what they needed to have a team that could compete.
This year’s postseason, playoff hockey is sure to be a great battle for Lord Stanley’s cup. You have the Washington Capitals dominating the East, and the San Jose Sharks atop of the West. Predictions from the “experts” are pouring in left and right and suddenly it feels like we’re back at the beginning of this year’s season – with everyone ragging on the Colorado Avalanche.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has half of this year’s Olympic Hockey team rosters available to peruse online today, with another five being announced tomorrow. The Team USA roster won’t be released until January 1st, during the Winter Classic game. Things aren’t looking good for team USA at this point but hey, we had the Miracle on Ice remember?
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
