There must be some old diehards out there or from their graves wondering if a Stanley Cup counts when the path there is thru Nashville, Minnesota, Anaheim, and Tampa Bay! How the League has changed since the original six!

Yes it has changed. Back then a championship represented the best of 6, now it represents the best of 30.

Much easier to have a dynasty in the 1950s-1960s when the NBA and NHL had only a handful of teams.

This Blackhawks Stanley Cup victory is sweet, special, and just as important as all the others! Their opponents may not be very familiar to me per se, but then I saw that Tampa Bay wiped out Montreal, who had had a great year. You don't get to the FINALS on luck. Sour grapes always has a list of excuses and a bucket of cold water to throw on the victor's parade.

I'm nobody, but I'd like to dedicate this Cup to Stan Mikita, after reading yesterday of his recent wretched memory loss. My prayers are with him and his family. ---Brian Powell
