This year the playoffs were compelling, exciting, and unpredictable. The unlikely runs by the Flyers to the finals and the Canadiens to the Eastern Conference finals could not have been predicted by anyone. The excellent young players that make up the Chicago Blackhawks have done it. They have won the trophy that everyone dreams of winning at least once.
I think the game of hockey is moving in the right direction. The on-ice product is best its been in a long time. It even looks like the league is re-evaluating where they want to have teams, but we will see where this goes.
It's going to be hard for the NHL to live up to the show they put on this spring. There was a lot of excitement and I just wanted to keep tuning in. I watched games from Mexico, on airplanes, in bars, at home. I talked about it with a lot of people. I made predictions. some were good, some were not so good.
Congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks, you are the champs. Enjoy it, next year everyone will be gunning for you, but that should make for another great season.
