Patrick (ain't tippin the cabbie) Kane delivered the biggest goal in 49 years off a tough angle (only he knew it was in) to win the Stanley Cup last wed in Philadelphia. It took the White sox 88 years to break their drought in 2005 and with the hawks first championship since 1961 in the books there's only 1 chicago team left with a small championship drought (let's guess together lol) drum roll please, the Chicago Cubs. 102 years and counting for the cubbies who lost last night to the mighty (not) Oakland A's 9-5. Cubs first basemen Derek Lee said they palyed like a A ball team last night (I think i've heard that comment before over the years, along with, they blew it in the ninth again) so it looks like will move on to year 104 in 2011 because its not happening in year 103 (2010).
Let's finish today by getting back to the Blackhawks. I beleive the series changed in game 5 when big Buff (Justin Byfuglien) deceided not to get pushed around anymore by the flyers defensemen Keith Pronger and checked his ass into the boards a couple of times (wasn't the same after those hits) and scored two goals with two helpers (that's new age hockey talk dudes!). Let's hope Rocky Wirtz and the boys of Blackhawks ownership can keep the core of this team signed for a long time because with this much youth and talent they should win at least a couple more Stanley Cups!!!.
Great job mentioning Byfuglien, definitely one of the underrated players he shuts down the front of the net and made Pronger think twice about touching the puck. Great post cant wait for another one.
