Stanley Cup Teams Finalized: Blackhawks vs. Flyers
Well, it’s been decided. The Stanely Cup Playoffs are over for another year and the next NHL game coming up is the 2010 Stanley Cup itself, with Chicago and Philadelphia facing off for this year’s top title in U.S. hockey.
[ad#bodog-250]After their win 4-2 this past Sunday, May 23 over the San Jose Sharks, the Chicago Blackhawks landed the first spot in the 2010 Stanley Cup, and with the same score, the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens on Monday, May 24 for the second (and final) spot in the 2010 Stanley Cup.
Can Philadelphia’s Mike Richards, Arron Asham, and Jeff Carter score for their team again on May 29 like they did in the playoffs? Or will Chicago’s Brent Seabrook, Dustin Byfuglien, and Kris Versteeg pull out a win for their team again? Which goalies – the Flyers’ Jaroslav Halak and Brian Boucher or the Blackhawks’ Antti Niemi and Michael Leighton – will protect their team better from scores by their opponents?

The Flyers and the Blackhawks only met once on the ice this season, and that was in the Wachovia Center back on March 13 when the Flyers won 3-2 thanks to a winning goal by Chris Pronger. Still, latest prognostications predict the Blackhawks taking this year’s championship, even though they haven’t played in the Stanley Cup since 1992 and the Flyers make for a much better story this season. In points for season, the Blackhawks finished up with 112, ranking them 3rd in the league for 2010, with the Flyers trailing 24 points behind them.
