Quote from well known personality who led their high school team to a state championship.“As a captain, I played furiously. I drew a lot of fouls, but I brought everything I had to every practice and to every game. I left everything on the court because I simply wanted the team to win”
Yes. and ... not to be picky, but ... it's the Canadiens. Or, if you prefer, Les Canadiens. (Tabern... )
It amazing how much better the nhl playoffs are compared to the nba (in terms of competitiveness).
agreed, this year the nhl playoffs are more entertaining than nba
im a leafs fan. i know life sucks! but for the sake of the nhl i hope its philly and chicago, im sure that will be good for the sport, and tv ratings
I am really rooting for a Finals between Montreal and Chicago, two of group of six teams that made up the league when I was a kid in the fifties.
For those two young to know.
The six were
Toronto
Montreal
Chicago
Detroit
Boston
N.Y.

You are correct about that except that originally there were only three teams that completed a full season and that was in 1918-19. Then Quebec was added as a 4th team in 1919-20. Hamilton replaced Quebec in 1920-21. That format lasted for only two seasons. In 1923-24 the league expanded to six teams. From there it eventually went up to ten teams before dropping to the six in 1942-43.
However note that all of those cities that were part of the six in 1942-43 were also part of the league from 1926-27 on.
In fact what is interesting is that all of the cities (8 cities and 10 teams) that were part of the league in 1926-27 are in the league now.
Detroit
Chicago
Boston
N.Y.
Pittsburgh
Ottawa
Montreal
Toronto
