2011-11-19 16:15:00 Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu was facing criticism for being too slow in building cases against participants in the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.

Losing Stanley Cup Won't Matter When God Pushes Vancouver into Pacific
2011-06-16 05:57:00 "We can really only make a couple predictions," said Michael Jenkins of Sports Psychology USA. "Roberto Luongo will probably improvise pretty well and make due...he'll get out of Vancouver via raft...and just about when he'll hit shore, he'll probably drown...Alain Vigneault will deny that he or his team did anything wrong to deserve this...he won't leave home and he'll drown to death...and Alexandre Burrows will drown all of his family members and step over the backs of children and the elderly to get to shore...because he's a total *&%$sore."

Married to a Stanley Cup kisser

That award goes to my husband with no second place.Sure, it was snowing and I'm can't-see-my-feet pregnant and I could think of a million reasons I wanted him home, but I wouldn't have traded his night with the Stanley Cup for all the foot rubs in the world.

"Stanley Cup Favorite" Vancouver to play the Blackhawks Tonight..
2010-10-20 22:16:00 Nothing better to cap off a hard working hump day then a matchup between the 'Nucks and Blackhawks at the United Center. Let take a look at tonight's storylines: Can Buff get into Luongo's head? Will Ladd and Kesler duke it out over a 2 year old playoff beef? Will Eager grab hold of a Canuck's pants and body slam him to the ice? Woops...give me a second while I pinch myself. Okay, back to reality. Are we even rivals with Vancouver anymore? It seems most of the fuel that made this rivalry burn resides in Atlanta now. The only memory I have that still has some relevance is the one of tough guy Alexandre Burrows yanking on the...
Journey of the Stanley Cup
2010-10-11 22:57:00 Yesterday was a beautiful day in Rockford, not only because it was 85 degrees but because the Stanley Cup returned for the first time in two years. Fans and staff members waited in a never ending line to take a picture with the Stanley Cup, Norris Trophy, Conn Smyth, and the Campbell Cup. To those who aren't hockey fans, people would wonder why does such a trophy mean so much to us hockey nuts? The answer is simple. The Stanley Cup is history. There is only one. Winning the Stanley Cup is not like winning the Super Bowl or the World Series because those teams that win get a trophy specifically made for that year. When they win that trophy they...
Stanley Cup Rings in Rockford
2010-10-09 06:45:00 Today was just a typical day in the office of a sports reporter. I showed up for work at around 10 am and at 10:05 am, a Stanley Cup ring was placed in my hand. No it's not mine, it belonged to the Rockford Icehog's General Manager, Mark Benard.Holding that ring was both glorious and petrifying at the same time. To a hockey nut like myself, that ring was the most beautiful piece of jewelry I had ever seen.I got to interview Mark Benard for the IceHog's website about the team's roster (watch it here). What you didn't get to see (and you will as soon as the video is posted) was Mark talking about what his Stanley Cup ring...
BLACKHAWKS ICE GIRL OFFICIALLY PASSED AROUND MORE THAN STANLEY CUP
2010-10-03 07:33:00 "I have three rings around my body to log the names of the legends that have slept with me," remarked Tomorelli. "Right around my neck, I guess you could say that's almost like the cup on top of the Stanley Cup...you know...I have the early names there. Martin Havlat is like my version of the Ottawa Silver Seven. And, you see this (pointing to back of neck), that's Tony Salmelainen...he's like the Vancouver Millionaires of my body. You probably have no clue what I'm talking about. Jesus, doesn't anybody know anything about pre-1918 hockey? Dear god.

Stanley Cup celebration is over for Blackhawks GM
2010-06-17 06:09:00 I believe a week of celebration is about to end for Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman. The young NHL executive did guide his club to their first Stanley Cup championship in 49 years in his first season at the helm. But, rightly or wrongly, few people outside of the organization give the 37-year old much credit for his contributions to the Blackhawks success this year. However, Bowman wasn't given the job to win now. Blackhawks team president John McDonough named Bowman the team's ninth general manager in franchise history last July to ensure this team isn't one and done. It's no secret that the Hawks face a daunting off-season of navigating the NHL salary cap while still...
Stanley Cup Sunday With A No-No Flavor
2010-06-16 22:03:00 Sunday night's Cubs-Sox game became an instant classic the second the photo of the 3 Chicago sports teams on the mound with the Stanley Cup was snapped, but who would have thought Ted Lilly and Gavin Floyd would both take no-nos into the 7th and that Ted would take his into the 9th! What an incredible game. I was watching at home (it was an ESPN game), but I'd love to hear from fans who were here that night. I'm told by pretty much everybody that the crowd was at a fever pitch throughout the evening and that it felt like a playoff game. It felt that way watching on TV. I can only imagine what it was like at...

The joy of a Blackhawks Stanley Cup
2010-06-10 08:45:00 I was afforded a front row seat for Hockey's most prestigious and incomparable shows. The front row being the bench where the Hawks had just leaped from after Patrick Kane scored a goal only he knew went in.
Kane OT goal wins Blackhawks Stanley Cup
2010-06-10 06:41:00 Patrick Kane sped past Kimmo Timonen down the left side of the zone sending a shot skidding across the ice surface and through Flyers goalie Michael Leighton's legs as he hugged the near post for a Blackhawks overtime Stanley Cup game winner. For a few moments, only Kane knew he had ended Chicago's 49-year championship drought. But soon enough, his teammates joined the Hawks 21-year old foward in a jubilant celebration in front of the hushed Philadelphia crowd as the puck was located in the meshing of the net behind Leighton. The Hawks 4-3 overtime victory over the Philadelhpia Flyers clinched the 4th Stanley Cup in the history of the Original Six franchise. My personal wait to see...

2010-06-09 20:55:00 Today could indeed be one of the greatest days in Chicago sports history. If the Chicago Blackhawks take care of business and close the book tonight in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, many in this city and the surrounding area will have one late night celebrating the city's first pro sports title in five years and their first Stanley Cup in almost a half a century. While many Blackhawks fans have been dreaming of Jonathan Toews taking hold of Lord Stanley's Cup from Commissioner Gary Bettman on Philadelphia's home ice, the party day to celebrate the title has been set. If the Blackhawks wrap it all up tonight, a ticker tape parade will occur this coming Friday.....friday...FRIDAY!!&nb-sp; Isn't...
Top Ten Reasons the Officiating is Rigged in the Stanley Cup Finals
2010-06-08 05:45:00 By Mike SchroederThe Blackhawks just dominated in a pivotal game 5, but the officials already did their best in Philly to extend the series. This list was written between the second and third periods of Game 4, during peak Pronger-gets-away-with-murder time. The Hawks will only have themselves to credit or blame regardless of the outcome, but this list is a necessary venting toward the men in stripes. The Hawks need to lock it down in Game 6 despite the officials' best efforts! Go Hawks!...

Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5; Desperation Needs to be Blackhawks' Best F
2010-06-06 18:50:00 This series has been very similar to the Nashville series. The Hawk defense has been inconsistent, the offense and passing rather sporadic, and their effort flat-out questionable. Although the Flyers certainly are not the Predators, the Hawks have proven themselves to be the better team when they buckle down and play desperate.

Blackhawks vs Flyers in Game 4 of Stanley Cup Finals- Tomorrow Night
2010-06-04 05:36:00 So, I had to wait 24 hours before responding to game three. Part of this was due to mild depression, while the rest of the blame must go to beer, whiskey, and Taco Bell... all of which were closely tied to the primary cause: depression. But I digress, so let me continue. The Blackhawks lost last night, falling in overtime 4-3. Once again, however, viewers were treated to a thrilling game.
Stanley Cup Finals: Blackhawks' Patrick Kane Adjusting to Big Stage (A
2010-06-02 00:30:00 After two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, the experience for Patrick Kane has been "so far, not-so-good." The Blackhawks superstar is coming off a fantastic 88-point regular season and has had a sold postseason, scoring 21 points in the first three rounds. But in the first two games of the Finals, Kane has no points on just five shots and is minus-three in the series. Is Kane wilting under the bright lights of the Stanley Cup Finals?...

8 Reasons I Love Blackhawk Stanley Cup Hockey
2010-05-29 14:28:00 It's Hot baby! There is something wonderful about dressing for the finals, chances it will be 75-80 degrees outside and 65 inside near the ice. This makes for some creative wardrobe choices under that jersey. Notice the women, you can tell the experienced fan by her large purse in it will probably be stocked with an extra tee shirt, pashmina,or possibly a flask with some good Scotch. Meanwhile the female fan who is there for her first game wearing shorts and a Hawks tee shirt shivering in the cold.

2010 Stanley Cup Finals: Championship Experience Key For Blackhawks
2010-05-29 06:01:00 On Saturday night, when the puck drops in Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals, it will be a new experience for a majority of the fans in the United Center. After all, it's been 18 years since the last time the Blackhawks hosted a Finals game, and 49 since they won a championship. And yet, for the youngest team in the NHL, it's nothing special? Looking up and down the Blackhawks' roster, the championship pedigree is everywhere....
Could we have Stanley Cup finals without a star goalie--just two commoners?
2010-05-28 21:13:00 Super Bowl 2010. Quarterbacks Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees. Brees is the MVP as New Orleans beats Indy 31-17, but the Manning legend still remains intact. World Series 2009. Cliff Lee starts Game 1 vs CC Sabathia. Lee was a prized catch for Philadelphia at the trade deadline, but cost them some future treasure, while Sabathia was a major acquistion from free agency for the New York Yankees at $161 million. NBA finals 2009. Some guy named Kobe wins again for the Lakers and is named MVP, too. And might do it all over again this year, because he recently signed a $90 million extension and is paid unchecked millions to win titles, not just games. Stanley Cup finals, 2010....
