I only saw the replay once but that is a very marginal call on a 5-minute major, especially with the way the officiating has gone all playoffs long. Maybe a double minor, with Scuderi bleeding, OK, but a major is just... has anyone ever seen a game where one team gets a major penalty and still wins? I can't remember one. They must be pretty rare.

Congrats to the Kings on their 1st Stanley Cup in franchise history! Also nice in pulling it all together at the right time and going all the way as an 8 seed.

and each of those champions had a harder time with a team other than Vancouver en route to their win.

Vancouver will have a better chance with Luongo gone.

To keep this thread alive for a bit longer, post some of your favorite moments from the season.

Here's a good one: http://video.blues.nhl.com/videocenter/console?hcatid=782&id=148863&navid=DL|STL|home

Jaroslav Halak returns to Montreal for the first time since his inspirational run in the playoffs, and blanks the home team 3-0.

The fans show one of the classiest moments in hockey by giving him a standing ovation as he leaves the ice. Much props to the Canadiens fans there! =D

Gary Bettman very carefully controls his public image.

Bettman is sending a message to Jamison and Glendale.

Yay the Oil got Yakupov.

Would have been better off with Murray. Stupid lottery win. No brainer choice by EDM but picking second w/o Yakupov on the board would advance the teams need on D. Now we have to pray for Justin Shultz. Those prayers will probably be answered though so thats good

The gloves are off in Glendale.

Check out the Robb Kerr interview with Gary Bettman.

the Goldwater Institute is destroying Glendale.
Proof: they are trying to stop Glendale from giving the NHL $375 million dollars, therefore, they are destroying the city. The state of Arizona will probably go down with it.

This is Gary at his rhetorical best.

Soon Gary will have to take the John Galt pledge in Glendale and pull the team after suckering this small city of 250,000 people into giving him $50 million to rent a hockey team for 2 years.
