Conference finals kick off tomorrow. 7am for the LA/Chicago game and 10am for the Bruins/Pens. On Fox1 for those who have cable.

Here's a bit of a preview of the Pittsburgh/Boston series with the focus on Crosby and Chara ...

Someone keep GTG away from the sharps drawer. That was an unbelievably painful way to go. My condolences.

I'm hoping that the 48 game season means that my Sharks are confused and treat the playoffs like games 49-82 and dominate.

That's interesting re the USA/Canada game. Might make time for that. I know that there's a rink at Docklands and I'm fairly sure it hosted the 3rd or 4th tier World Cup a ways back. Edmonton has a h

Chicago win game 1 and that was no huge surprise, but the Bruins winning the way they did, certainly was.

Watched a fair bit of the game and Boston did seem to put the Pens off their game ... here's a wrap-up

Bruins through in 4. Not sure what happened to Pittsburgh. All over very quickly ... extended highlights

Anyway, the Blackhawks have a chance to wrap things up tomorrow.

I'll go Blackhawks in 6. After a dominant regular season they were pretty unimpressive in the playoffs until the conference finals, but I think they're the best team. If they win, the Conn Smythe will be very interesting. Crawford hasn't been as good this playoffs as Quick or Niemi (not that you give the award to a team that doesn't make the finals, just pointing it out), and Kane and Toews were mocked through the first two rounds for invisibility.

I'm now thinking the Bruins might prevail. We've had some short series and some long ones but I reckon this series will go to 7 games. It's a great match-up and I'm eagerly looking forward to the games. Game 1 is tomorrow (oz time) with the 2nd game on Sunday.

When Boston won the cup 2 years ago they had quite a time of it ...

Another OT classic today ties the series at 1-1. Great stuff.

I headed along to the USA v Canada exhibition game at Hisense last night. While there were only a handful of current NHL players and the quality of play was nothing like NHL standard, it was a good night out. Nice to see so many hockey jerseys in the one place in Melbourne!

Which NHL players were there?

Chicago's currently up 1-0 at the end of the 1st in game 5. What's the bet that this one goes to OT as well?

Blackhawks score twice in the last moments of game 6 to take the Stanley cup! The Bruins crowd must have been thinking about game 7 - what a terrible way to lose.

Chicago's been the best performed team this season so it's a richly deserved victory ... game 6 highlights

Yeah, was a beauty!

Unwritten rule is that only those who have won the Stanley cup can touch the Stanley cup.

This is an iconic moment in sport ...

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
