News Release News Release 2008 Stanley Cup Final Detroit vs. Pittsburgh NEWS RELEASE STANLEY CUP FINAL NOTES, NUGGETS AND STORY LINES First Meeting: The 2008 Stanley Cup Final marks the first playoff series between the Red Wings and Penguins in the 41st season that both clubs have been members of the NHL. It is the first postseason meeting of pro franchises from Detroit and Pittsburgh since the 1909 World Series, when the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Detroit Tigers four games to three in a celebrated competition between Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner for the Pirates and outfielder Ty Cobb for the Tigers. The Red Wings and Penguins did not play each other in the 2007-08 regular season. Their most recent meeting occurred Oct. 7, 2006, a 2-0 Red Wings victory at Pittsburgh. Fifteen of the 20 Red Wings who dressed for that game are still with the club; 10 of the 20 Penguins remain with Pittsburgh. Roster Additions: The four playoff participants acquired by the Penguins and Red Wings during the regular season -- who are now in the Stanley Cup Final -- were obtained from clubs that did not qualify for the postseason. The Penguins added wings Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis from Atlanta, and D Hal Gill from Toronto at the trade deadline on Feb. 26. The Red Wings added D Brad Stuart from Los Angeles, also at the Feb. 26 trade deadline. Tale of the Tape: The Stanley Cup Finalists are an interesting contrast in size and age. Among players who have appeared in at least one playoff game in 2008, the Red Wings' average age is 32.3, nearly five years older than the Penguins' average of 27.9. The Penguins measure in at nearly 6'2" (73.7 inches) and 208 pounds; the Red Wings average just under 6'0" (71.96 inches) and 195 lbs. We're Number One: The Penguins have 13 former first-round draft picks on their roster, including five players the club has selected in the top five: D Ryan Whitney (fifth overall in 2002), G Marc-Andre Fleury (first overall in 2003), C Evgeni Malkin (second overall in 2004), C Sidney Crosby (first overall in 2005) and C Jordan Staal (second overall in 2006). The others are LW Gary Roberts (12th overall by Calgary in 1984), D Darryl Sydor (seventh overall by Los Angeles in 1990), D Sergei Gonchar (14th overall by Washington in 1992), RW Petr Sykora (18th overall by New Jersey in 1995), RW Marian Hossa (12th overall by Ottawa in 1997), C Kris Beech (seventh overall by Washington in 1999), D Brooks Orpik (18th overall by Pittsburgh in 2000) and C Jeff Taffe (30th overall by St. Louis in 2000). The Red Wings have three former first-round picks, one of which the club selected (D Niklas Kronwall , 29th overall in 2000). The others are RW Daniel Cleary (13th overall by Chicago in 1997) and D Brad Stuart (third overall by San Jose in 1998). Connections: Detroit D Brian Rafalski and Pittsburgh RW Petr Sykora were teammates on the New Jersey Devils team that won the 2000 Stanley Cup; 46-year-old Detroit D Chris Chelios and Pittsburgh LW Gary Roberts , who turns 42 on May 23, opposed each other in the 1989 Final between Montreal and Calgary.

Acquired by Anaheim from Columbus in January, 2007 trade, Hartigan made six regular-season and one playoff appearance for the champion Ducks. Although he did not meet the games-played criteria for his name to be engraved on the Stanley Cup, he enjoyed his day with the trophy in August at his father's house in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Stanley Cup Final Experience: Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock is making his second trip to the Final: he guided the Anaheim Ducks to Game 7 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Final before falling to the New Jersey Devils. Trophy Candidates: Five members of the Red Wings are 2007-08 NHL trophy finalists. Nicklas Lidstrom joins Boston's Zdeno Chara and Calgary's Dion Phaneuf in contention for the Norris Trophy as top defenseman; LW Henrik Zetterberg and C Pavel Datsyuk join New Jersey's John Madden as finalists for the Selke Trophy as top defensive forward; Datsyuk is competing with Buffalo's Jason Pominville and Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis for the Lady Byng Trophy (gentlemanly play); D Chris Chelios joins Toronto's Jason Blake and Edmonton's Fernando Pisani as finalists for the Masterton Trophy for sportsmanship and dedication; and Mike Babcock is vying for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year with Washington's Bruce Boudreau and Montreal's Guy Carbonneau . Penguins C Evgeni Malkin has been voted a finalist for the Hart Trophy as League MVP, joining Calgary's Jarome Iginla and Washington's Alex Ovechkin. Trophy winners will be announced at the 2008 NHL Awards Show, Thursday, June 12 at Toronto's historic Elgin Theatre. Happy Birthday To You: Two players will celebrate their birthdays over the next two weeks: Pittsburgh LW Gary Roberts turns 42 on May 23, the day prior to Game 1; Detroit C Kris Draper turns 37 on May 24. European Milestone: Born in Vasteras, Sweden, Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom has the opportunity to be the first European captain to hoist the Stanley Cup. Steve Yzerman served as captain on Lidstrom's three previous Stanley Cup-winning clubs with Detroit in 1997, 1998 and 2002. A Swedish-born captain has advanced to the Final for the second consecutive season, following Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson in 2006-07. Common Thread: Scotty Bowman coached each of these Finalists to its previous Cup: Red Wings (2002), Penguins (1992).

  • Ang National Hockey League
    ANG NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Ang National Hockey League o NHL ay itinatag sa Canada noong 1917. Ilang koponan ang sumali at nawala, ngunit anim na koponan ang nanatiling aktibo mula pa sa mga unang araw ng liga. Ang Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs ay binansagan na “The Original Six”. Sa ngayon, ang NHL ay binubuo ng 30 na koponan: pito sa Canada at 23 sa U.S. Ang Liga ay nahahati sa dalawang pagpupulong: Eastern at Western. Ang bawat pagpupulong ay may dalawang pangkat. Mayroong 16 na koponan sa Eastern Conference na kinabibilangan ng pangkat ng Atlantic at Metropolitan. May 14 na koponan naman sa pagpupulong ng Western, na kinabibilangan ng mga koponan sa pangkat ng Pacific at Central. Sa karaniwang panahon, ang bawat koponan ay may 82 na laro, at hinahati sa paglalaro sa sariling bayan at pangdadayuhan. Ang katayuan sa liga ay batay sa sistema ng punto, na kung saan, ang dalawang punto ay ipinagkakaloob para sa nanalo at ang isa, para sa overtime o shootout na pagkatalo. Labing-anim na koponan ang naglalaban para sa kampeonato – na tinatawag na playoffs: ang tatlong nangungunang koponan sa bawat apat na pangkat, at ang dalawa na may pinakamataas na puntos sa bawat pagpupulong. Ang kampeon sa playoff ay siyang pinagkakalooban ng Stanley Cup – ang pinakaantigong tropeo sa palakasang-pangpropesyonal sa North America. PAGLALARO Ang mga panimula sa Hockey ay simple – mag-skate ka, lumusot ka, humataw ka at gumawa ka ng puntos. Ang mga manlalaro ay lumiligid sa loob ng arena ng yelo sa pamamagitan ng skates – boots na may dobleng talim sa gilid ng talampakan nito – na nagpapa- hintulot ng matalim at mabilis na pag-ikot.

  • Jaromir Jagr, the Skater
    Jaromir Jagr, the Skater by Ross Bonander January 2014 As a member of The Hockey Writers draft team, I often hear about skating ability from scouts. It tends to be the first thing they look at, although, as Shane Malloy writes in The Art of Scouting, that doesn't mean they all agree on its importance from the scouting perspective. This is in part because, unlike something like size, skating is a skill which players can improve. The 2013-14 season marks Jaromir Jagr’s 25th year of professional hockey, and he is methodically working his way up the all-time scoring lists, all while leading his latest team, the New Jersey Devils, in points. This got me wondering: Perhaps throughout the 1700+ NHL points he’s accumulated, the take-you-out-of-your- seat stickhandling, the jaw-dropping dekes and sensational goals, maybe one aspect of Jagr's game deserved a closer look. Jaromir Jagr, the Skater. The great Eddie Johnston once echoed a sentiment expressed by everyone from Mario Lemieux to Scotty Bowman when he said: “I don’t know any player who is stronger on his skates than Jaromir Jagr. One on one, there has never been a player so dangerous.” For instance, in collecting his 1,723rd career point, an assist on an Adam Henrique goal, Jaromir Jagr victimized defenseman Nick Grossman in classic Jagr fashion: With fast hands, long reach, impeccable hockey sense … and all of it powered from, made possible by, his skates. After watching video both new and old, I concluded that for all the spectacular goals Jagr has scored, almost none of them would be possible were he anything short of one of the very best skaters in the game.

The Origin of the Red Wings dates back to 1926, when Detroit won the NHL franchise. Because the team owners bought the Victoria Cougars list of the Western Hockey League, they named their young team the Detroit Cougars. Success was elusive in those early years, so the city newspapers held a competition to change the name. The winner was the Falcons, but the new name did not change the team's fate. In 1932, the team was bought by millionaire James Norris. As a young man, he played for the MAAA Winged Wheelers, which won the first Cup in 1893. MAAA was a sports club that sponsored many sports, including cycling, which was the origin of the winged wheel logo worn by all MAAA athletes.

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
