I’m a hockey newbie, but even I know that the first game of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, between the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers, was a brutal affair. Both starting goaltenders looked like sieves. Somehow the Hawks managed to wind up with one more goal, winning 6-5, and taking a 1-0 game lead.
I hadn’t been following the Hawks closely until the semis, but their 3rd and 4th lines are really good. Bolland is a beast. Meanwhile, I was impressed with the amount of good chances the Flyers were able to generate.
P.S. As much as I’m a Chicago fan, I think The Fratellis Chelsea Dagger is a pretty stupid goal/victory song. Frankly, all of Chicago’s team and theme songs have pretty much sucked. Go, Cubs, Go? Don’t Stop Believing? Bear Down, Chicago Bears? Yick!!
Super Bowl Shuffle excepted, but that’s 20+ years old.
