Now, maybe, this game can take a step outta the stone age and stop the subtle interference, holds, and all the crap that's "playoff hockey". I never liked this is a penalty during the regular season, but come playoff time new rules. The notion of let the boys play, don't let the officials dictate the game is laughable, when calls become arbitrary based on score, time of game, flow of the game, then the officials are dictating the outcome. We all know a lot of of players push the envelope to gain an advantage, regardless of the rule book, and having a "playoff" rule book only exaggerates that sitiuation. Thankfully, talent won out in this final, so hopefully the shift towards an faster up and down game takes hold. I didn't watch all of this final, but I was encouraged by what the Hawks were able to do to the Bruins. I think it can only help the league as a whole .

Great hockey end to end, and a great finish. I'll admit, I was certain Boston was going into its shell and turned the game off. They made me pay.
There is always one guy, every year, that makes me wince that his name will be on the cup. Winner this year: Dan Carcillo.

Don't think Carcillo meets the TOI/games played reqs to have his name on the Cup, so the Hawks would have to petition for it.

He and Mayers were on the ice for the presentation. They wouldn't have to leave anyone else off to add them.

FWIW, Ben Lovejoy (and the other black aces) were on the ice during the celebration when we won in 2009, but didn't get their names on the Cup.
Nick Cotsonika @cotsonika 42s I'm all for toughness. But if you go to hospital during one game and need to be under observation after the next, should you have played?
Boston Bruins @NHLBruins 26m Update: Patrice Bergeron will not be at today's break-up day, as he has been under observation at a local hospital since the conclusion of Gm 6 ^BB
