two NHL hockey teams won 5 of the previous nine NHL Stanley Cups. Both are in last place of their divisions. Amazing how the Chicago Blackhawks (3 Cups) and the Los Angeles Kings (2 Cups) aged so poorly, getting their coaches fired while looking sideways at the veteran stars who got huge contracts that they can't live up to as they age...

Hockey is an unusual sport.

So different than the other 3 major sports, and soccer.

Yet it retains all the best characteristics of each of those.
