Here’s the Hockey Night in Canada montage from game six
Posted by Chris Lund under Hey Neat, Stanley Cup! on Jun 11, 2012
We’re on a roll with getting these up earlier than usual thanks to the fine handywork of YouTube(r) xXxCrosby87xXx whose movie making I have sampled frequently over the course of these Stanley Cup playoffs.

Steve Bernier gets five and a game for this hit on Rob Scuderi
Posted by Chris Lund under News, Stanley Cup! on Jun 11, 2012
The End Result.
The Los Angeles Kings got the break they’ve needed for some time now in the first period when Steve Bernier was sent off after taking a five minute major and game misconduct for a hit from behind on Rob Scuderi.

The Kings and Devils may not hate each other on the ice but the PR departments do
Posted by Chris Lund under Stanley Cup!, Uh-oh on Jun 11, 2012
Did Bailey send the e-mail?
Vitriol is noticeably absent on the ice during this Stanley Cup final beyond some chirping here and there — as I type this Jarret Stoll gets off scot free from a boarding call while Steve Bernier heads to the dressing room, go figure — but some hatred has popped up between the two Public Relations departments.

Some Don Cherry gems from game five’s Coach’s Corner
Posted by Chris Lund under Cringe-Worthy, Stanley Cup! on Jun 10, 2012
Coach’s Corner was particularly poignant in its absurdity on Saturday night. While I understand that I’m totally playing into the hype machine by posting it here — if you think this isn’t a strategy on their part, you’re insane, it’s all a publicity stunt — but this had to be shared.
Highlights include…

The Kings have nothing nice to say to a cut and bleeding Anton Volchenkov
Posted by Chris Lund under Score Video, Stanley Cup! on Jun 10, 2012
He was not faking.
Hockey is an emotional game. Tempers tend to run EXTREMELY high and sometimes you say things you don’t necessarily mean, or that things that aren’t necessarily valid, or things that nobody needs to hear at all. Luckily now that we have guys in between the benches with microphones we get to hear more and more of these things.
Game five was one of those nights.
As Anton Volchenkov skated by the Los Angeles bench, Glenn Healy left his microphone on so he could talk for some reason. Surely it had nothing to do with insightful analysis. At any rate, we got a glimpse into the jargon of hockey and what’s said on the ice.
Do not watch this if you don’t like shows on HBO, R-rated movies, or swearing at-large. It is very rude.

Jonathan Quick gets to wear the goat horns for once
Posted by Chris Lund under Score Video, Stanley Cup! on Jun 09, 2012
Scores.
Jonathan Quick has been nothing but immaculate for the brunt of the NHL playoffs. He has stymied every shooter he has faced, he has accomplished more from the splits position than any man playing hockey since Dominik Hasek, and he has grown a killer beard in the process.
All in all, it has been a net win for Quick and his reputation.
Unfortunately for Quick and his fans, game five didn’t start out too well. The Kings ‘tender came out back of his net and played a puck around it, which is usually a decent play, but it had Bryzgalov-esque quality written all over it as Zach Parise played it off the bounce and slid it home past a diving goaltender.
Too little, too late for the man in goal.
