Other European countries are closing in and could soon rival with the Swedes and Finns. The North Americans will most likely be unrivaled for yet some time to come.

Whew - reviving this old thread, and if it takes off, we may have to close it soon.
Honestly - never been much of a hockey fan. Grew up a bit south of here, where nobody ever plays it. Chicago is kind of 'middle-of-the-road' - some people are into it, but not like those from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, or anywhere in Canada. But now the Chicago Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup playoffs - for the championship of the NHL. And with the way our other teams have been doing - and the way everything else is going in Illinois, it's nice to have something good happen. The 'Hawks just took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series tonight. I watched the end of the game a couple blocks from home - where there was a big German-American Mayfest going on (yes - those wacky Germans in Chicago not only have a Mayfest in June - but have Octoberfest in September... I guess they're more likely to get decent weather in both cases). Anyway - the 'Hawks had won the first two in the series, then lost the next two in Philadelphia to get tied up again. But tonight - they won 7-4!! Any hockey fans left around here? And do the overseas hockey fans pay much attention to the NHL?

Still stinging from my Caps first round loss to the unlikely Habs. Although their defeat of Pittsburgh somehow made it a little easier to take.
Yeah this year was a bit crazy in the NHL playoffs. Two unlikely finalists dueling it out. Chicago looks good but then Im sure the Bruins thought there was no way they were gonna lose when they lead the Flyers by 3 games to none and were up 3 nothing in the final game... How did they manage to get this far! They arent even that good this year. Their game is parasitic because they have no one major strength to utilize.

Always nice to see one of the Original 6 in- it seems weird cheering for Anaheim or Orlando.
And anybody against the Flyers- still hold grudges from the Broad Street Bullies days.
