I’m a hockey nut…. I admit it. Hockey is a game of immense skill and conditioning and I am always amazed at some of the things these athletes can do. The goalie is probably the most under rated position in all of sports. Not only do these guys stop a frozen puck winging at them at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, often while they are in some sort of compromising position with some other big guys around them blocking their view.
This year’s Stanley Cup Finals this year are between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers. The goalies in this series are Anti Niemi for Chicago and Michael Leighton for Philadelphia. Both of these guys have been incredible in this series making some incredible stops.
I am a die hard Washington Capitals fan, but since the Caps are out of it, I am pulling for the Blackhawks. They have always been my second favorite team, and besides, they have not won the cup since 1961. Besides, being a Caps fan it would just be wrong to pull for the Flyers. As I write this Game 6 is going into overtime, it just doesn’t get better than this! Go HAWKS!
