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 ...

    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.

    Chicago v. Boston final. After seeing Boston in round 1, I'm very surprised they've made it this far. Maybe the Leafs are a lot better than I thought, or is that just wishful thinking?

    Since I've barely picked any series correctly this season, I won't make a prediction. I hope it's a long series, though.

    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 ...

    So... Who's keen for the season start on October 1st? Or October 3rd for a Sens fan...

    The question is, who isn't?

    Go Sharks.

    I don't have pay tv so will need to buy the pass from the NHL centre if I want to watch it... But super keen nonetheless

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
