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

    Now they know how they made us Toronto fans feel! What an awesome game.

    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

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
