Detroit beat the Stars tonight 4-1 to advance to the Cup Finals. The Cup finals i think start on Saturday, which will be good because i'll be done with finals & school then so i can watch the entire series.

No cinderella this year, powerhouse v. powerhouse, youth v. experience.

Going a little off-topic: Cover of NHL 09?

There are strong cases to be made for Ovechkin, Thornton, and Iginla, but unfortunately they've all been on the cover recently.

Of course, I vote for Evgeni Malkin, but Datsyuk and Lidstrom for Detroit would be good choices as well. Kovalchuk, Gaborik, and Kovalev also come to mind.

NHL 2K9 chose Rick Nash, who definitely would not have been on my list. Good player, but not exactly a star.


I remember Ovechkin was 07, and Iginla was 2003, but I can't quite place Thornton......what year was he?

Evgeni Malkin is a great choice, and there's always Crosby of course.
I would like Lidstrom to grace the cover though. He's such a classy player, and so dependable.

 Thornton was on the cover for NHL 2K7.

So I take it that those are going to be our final numbers then? if so you won cool48. congrats.



Some people could still get points for the Stanley Cup winner. Jeremy Roenick is gonna be back for the next season with the Sharks - http://sharks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=363975

No one can catch or pass cool even if they get the cup winner right. us at 6 points either chose the same team as cool or our team is out and at 5 points he chose the same team as cool also.



Yeah, cool's won it already..........the only thing left to be settled is if I can break our tie, and desroko can tie you guys. Other than that, it's finished..........so congratulations cool48.

@Spire
Ah, ok. So then he's still eligble for 09 (but not likely because of this).



It's gameday...........anyone else jacked for this?
