Game 2 Of The Stanley Cup Playoffs - Chicago v. Philadelphia

Because nothing says Memorial Day weekend like, er, hockey.

The NHL is enjoying great ratings (so long as you grade on a curve) but as a Rangers fan, this is a painful series. Any time Flyers fans have hope is depressing.

On the upside, at least there's at least one Origianal Six team in the finals and the Blackhawks do have one of the greatest logos in all of sports.

Game 1 was great if you like the Blackhawks and/or a lot of scoring, not so great if you actually like hockey. Hopefully game 2 will feature some actual defense and maybe even a little goaltending.

After Game 2 be sure to check out Moron Hockey, the blog tmi3rd started and don't update enough, for series to date recap.

People joke about the toughness/craziness of hockey players (especially at playoff time). One of the guys playing tonight is Duncan Keith of the Blackhawks. He took a puck in the mouth in the conference clinching win over San Jose. He missed a few shifts, came back to play and then did an interview.

Pierre McGuire said it was 4 teeth, ultimately it was 7. Old time hockey.
