Closing the Door on the NHL Season

Spirits were high in Chicago after the Blackhawks halted a 48 year old curse

Well, they did it. Last Wednesday the Blackhawks ended a 47 season Stanley Cup drought by beating the Flyers in overtime.

It's easy to write about the Blackhawks and their well deserved celebrations (and hangovers that followed) but here at WMBC we like the losers better. So my apologies to the Blackhawks' fans, but this ones going to be about the Flyers.

Loving the Eastern Conference

The NHL might want to take some advice from the NCAA with regard to expanding their tournament. Why? The Eastern Conference is gearing up for Flyers vs. Canadiens this Sunday in the Conference Finals. That's right, a 7 vs 8 seed matchup. And the two teams that barely made the playoffs are amped up about playing each other for something other than a "who deserved to be in the playoffs more" consolation prize.
