2010 Stanley Cup Finals

Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup ending a 49-year drought beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in OT.


Chicago beat Vancouver, swept San Jose, before finally beating the Flyers in a year of huge upsets by the Flyers and Canadiens.

Giant Killers

The Montreal Canadiens followed up a monumental upset by pulling off another, and now the Pittsburgh Penguins are joining the Washington Capitals in sitting out the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The eighth-seeded Canadiens completed another upset with a 5-2 win over the Penguins in Game 7. The Canadiens trailed 3-2 in the series before rallying to win the final two games.

Montreal, about the last team anyone would have picked to beat the top-seeded Capitals, much less the reigning NHL champion Penguins, accomplished what no team has done since the current playoffs format was adopted in 1994. And that’s beat the Presidents’ Trophy winners and the Stanley Cup champions in successive rounds as an eighth-seeded team.

Oklahoma NFL player a Canuck fan!?

Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners captured football's most prestigious honour in winning the 74th Heisman Trophy last month, leading the highest scoring offense in the history of Division One football.

But what is also noteworthy is that Bradford always wanted to play for the Vancouver Canucks. (But there's NO Canucks hockey in Oklahoma...)

The area is not exactly known as a hockey hotbed, but the Oklahoma native said that the sport was something in which he excelled in at an early age.

"It's kind of weird because hockey's not a big sport down here in the south but it's something I really got into when I was young,'' Bradford told CKNW News Talk 980 in Vancouver.

"I remember trying to convince my parents to move to Vancouver. I thought it was the best decision for me and my family but they didn't see me eye-to-eye on that," laughed Bradford.

When asked what it was that caught his eye about Vancouver, Bradford admitted he didn't know much about the city other than that was where the Canucks played.

"I was a big Pavel Bure fan and I would watch all the Don Cherry Rock 'Em Sock 'Em tapes,'' he said in the radio interview. ''For some reason I just picked out Bure as my favorite player so I just started following the Canucks." (But he was like 5 or 6 when Canucks went to the Stanley Cup finals?!)

(So what's next, some MLB guy confessing to be a Boston Bruins fan?!)

Slovakia 2 Canada 3

Slovakia was just AMAZING in this Olympics.
As an underdog they managed to beat Sweden and Russia.
These were huge surprises to me.
They didn't seem to get many shots but they sure capitalized on the little chances they got.
Not to mention their power play was 1 in 3!

Michael Phelps

I was looking up Michael Phelps cos the broadcast said he is entered in 6 events:
400m Individual Medley / 200m Freestyle / 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay / 200m Butterfly / 200m Individual Medley / 100m Butterfly

and it's like OMFG this guy is sick!!!11

In Athens 2004, he won 6 golds and 2 bronzes, setting 3 ORs and 1 WR.
He currently holds 6 WRs....
