I watched at work and when I found out that The Cup weighs 35 lbs I thought,"shit that's what an empty keg weighs", so went and grabbed a keg and did a victory lap of the brewery. Holy shit! I don't know how they do it on skates. I nearly killed myself. I was rooting for NYC.

Too big. Too fast. Too skilled. Too deep.

That's the bar, everyone.

This team has something special. They could reastically manage 3 Cups in 4 years due to their youthful core. Farmer Sutter will be back.

Dare I say Dynasty?

They're certainly going to be the favorite going into next year but..........Chicago is really, really good, negligible difference. Then there is Anaheim, San Jose, St. Louis and a solid and still improving Minny team to get by. The west is a really tough row to hoe and is good as they are I wouldn't give them a 50% chance of coming out of the west next year. However winning one more in the next three years seems quite plausible.

Big. Fast. Skilled. Deep [BFSD]. Oh and great goaltending most of this time. Lombardi was genius to add Gaborik.

This is the new model. i.e. EVERYTHING all the time.

Well congrats LA Kings! I don't think the cup final was in doubt but I would have liked to have seen the plucky Rangers take it to 6 or 7. Still, great post-season this year.

Not yet. I think there are three, maybe four, teams competing for this era's Dynasty status. Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Pittsburgh are probably those teams with Pittsburgh pretty much out of it unless their fortunes change quickly. A Dynasty used to require, at a minimum, winning the Stanley Cup at the least three times in a row or something like 4 times in 6 years, along with a number of regular season titles. With the modern era and the salary cap I realize that it is almost impossible for a team to match those pre cap requirements. But, I believe for Dynastic status a team should, at a minimum, at least win back to back Stanley Cups, along with at least a couple of league titles to be considered a modern day Dynasty. I believe Chicago is the most likely candidate for the modern Dynasty status as they came within an overtime goal in game 7 of the Western Conference Finals this year, of probably becoming, the first back to back Stanley Cup Champion since 1998. Chicago also won the regular season league title last year. That said if Los Angeles are able to pull off back to back Stanley Cup titles next year they are, most definitely, in the conversation as this era's modern day Dynasty.

I agree with everything you say Skip -- I think it comes down to how the rivarly will play out between Chicago and LA in the next two years. Back to back Cups is almost an imperative criterion, however the overall criteria has surely changes given the cap era and the resulting parody that exists.

Justin Williams with the Conn Smythe is such a tremendous pile of horseshit. Anyone who thinks he's their MVP should be murdered or worse.
