The fabulous and old Chicago Blackhawks win the Cup

Faced with fast teams, huge teams and four consecutive series without home advantage the Hawks prevail. The oldest team in the playoffs was also the best. 

Ice hockey is the best American sport by a mile..perhaps the best team sport of all.... demanding strength, speed and endurance...and the old Hawks provided all of this and more....ice, cold professionalism.

The Hawks are a  model of how  to build around your experienced players, to be slow to discard the players who have proven they belong, while setting a high bar for new talent. That's the way to improve. That's the way to build a sporting dynasty.

The most continuous action of any sport.....Wardad. We watched last night on a 120 inch screen, which helped enormously in picking up the nuances. The transitions from attack to defence in ice hockey are instantaneous.....you can be 3 goals up and lose your lead in a minute. There are almost no stoppages in play.....it's all settled in 60 minutes of continuous action with two breaks to recover and smooth the ice.

Even commies like Chabal's comerades are into the game.
