The Chicago Blackhawks were presented with their 8-carat Stanley Cup Championship rings in a private ceremony Wednesday night. “I was sitting next to [coach Joel] Quenneville, and he showed me his [1996 ring] from Colorado,” Hawks winger Troy Brouwer said. “And ours is so much bigger and nicer.” The individual ring is valued at $30,000 and is 14-carat white gold.
The Chicago Blackhawks will have their Stanley Cup Opening Ceremony October 9 against the Detroit Red Wings.
Last night, Canada had their version of the MTV Movie Awards. At the MuchMusic Awards, Miley Cyrus both preformed and presented. It being Canada and all, Jonathan Toews join Cyrus to introduce music performer Drake. Cyrus congratulated Toews on winning the gold medal at the Olympics with Canada and of course winning the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks… all while struggling to read her cue-cards.
The rule “there is no crying in baseball” does not apply to hockey… at least it doesn’t apply to Jeremy Roenick. Roenick played for Chicago from 1988-1996 and is now an announcer for NBC. Besides the Blackhawks, Roenick played for a slew of NHL teams and had successful career, but he never won a Stanley Cup. Obviously, based on Roenick’s reaction to the Blackhawk’s Cup victory… it is what he regrets most. What is not clear is why Roenick always went for the big bucks and went to bad teams instead of Cup contenders?
Congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks who are the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions. In six games, the Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime to win their first Stanley Cup since 1961. Patrick Kane got the game winning goal, but the Conn Smyth Trophy for the Playoff’s MVP went to Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews.
