Awesome 3'rd period!

The Bruins looked like they were fired up in the 1'st... but it's a long game.

Fun series - congrats to Chicago, they played great.
 
Wow, really hurtin' this morning. Did a little too much celebrating last night, and am paying the price today, but it was totally worth it! The cup is ours again!
 
Awesome for Chicago.

I didn't think they would be able to stand up to Boston.

Excellent team and 2 Cups not too far apart is a major accomplishment!!
 
Did I miss something earlier in the season? Did they all fall asleep like Rumpelstiltskin during the lockout? What's with all the massive facial hair? Are they gonna shave now? Enquiring minds want to know?

Not on TV. I cancelled the cable a year ago. I've attended several Blue Jackets games this year. The lockout kinda dulled my interest this season, during which we lost Nash and got a new GM, so it took a while to get geared back up. I did grow up watching the Hawks, but for some reason they don't get much coverage here in C-bus.idn_smilie
So I'm guessing it was a thing. Too lazy to research it. Help a brother out.

It's the playoff beard. All the teams do it. I'm not sure who started it or when but it seems like it's been going on for a long time.

Well Blue Jackets...that would explain it :grin: no playoffs (sorry cheap shot I know)

The wiki is your friend
A playoff beard is the superstitious practice of a National Hockey League player not shaving his beard during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The player stops shaving when his team enters the playoffs and does not shave until his team is eliminated or wins the Stanley Cup. The tradition was started in the 1980s by the New York Islanders.[1] The tradition is also practiced by nearly all North American hockey leagues, to include high school leagues and the NCAA hockey teams, as well as minor league affiliates.[2] The tradition has also spread to hockey leagues in Europe and is practiced by many fans as well. According to some observers, one may trim the beard after a loss in an effort to change the team's luck; Jim Dowd and Roberto Luongo were such practitioners.[3][4]

And now, us Chicago sports fans are stuck with the following:

Baseball - both teams are teh suxfest this season, and probably the next 2-3 to come :(

Football - camp starts soon with new, weird coach and approach...danger ahead :eek:

MLS - with all due respect to bsman, I just can't deal with it.

NBA - not until the fall, and who knows if Derrick Rose can carry this team farther; healthy or not, team needs help. Not much of a hoops fan, anyway.

WNBA - no, thank you.

Which leaves the 2013 Stanley Cup Champions. In October :cry:
