The Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins both finished off their respective Eastern Conference Semifinals opponents in four games.  Goaltending was the backbone of each teams’ sweep.  Dwayne Roloson, 41-year-old veteran, has stood on his head for the Bolts throughout the entire postseason.  Tim Thomas, 37-year-old 2009 Vezina Trophy winner, has done the same for [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks‘ 2011 season ended after a hard-fought seven-game series against the Vancouver Canucks.  Blackhawks’ blueliner Chris Campoli committed an unfortunate turnover to Canucks’ forward Alex Burrows who proceeded to bury a knuckling slap-shot past rookie netminder Corey Crawford.  And that was the last memory fans had of Chris Campoli’s short season with the [...]

Filed under: NHL

The Chicago Blackhawks hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2010 with Antti Niemi as their netminder.  This year it was Corey Crawford‘s job to do the same thing after Antti Niemi signed with the San Jose Sharks.  In my opinion, if Antti Niemi was in net for Tuesday’s Game 7 against the Vancouver Canucks the game [...]
