Man Blackhawks are some kind of dynasty. Defense for days. My boy Timmonen gets to lift the cup, he deserves it. Great series, close games all around. Two great teams. One more series to finish until we hit a sports dead zone.
DYNASTY

Zach Braziller @NYPost_Brazille 8h8 hours ago Queens, NY So Ben Bishop tore his groin in Game 2 and still played most of the series. Hockey players are ridiculously tough.
They'd have to win one more for me to use the word dynasty; unless you consider what the Devils and Red Wings did in the 90s-00's to be dynasty. For Flyers fans, getting to see an ex-Flyer win the Cup is about as good as it gets LOL. We can agree on this: anyone but the rangers.
Sadly youre right, but yes I was very happy when the rangers went down ... to their old captain nonetheless.
Redwings could be considered, Devils just miss out. Blackhawks won 3 in 6 years spread out pretty evenly. Made it to most every WC final too. If they can figure out their cap situation I would expect them to probably win one or two more before its all said and done.
They're about as close to a dynasty as you're gonna get in this day and age of the NHL. I would throw the Red Wings as a possible dynasty. Devils...3 in 8 years, doesn't make the cut.
If they rangers couldn't win it, I'm glad it was Chicago. And I was also relieved when the flyers and devils were eliminated....in January.

CHICAGO — To understand why the Chicago Blackhawks have become a modern-day dynasty, listen to what happened Monday night moments after they beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-0, and won their third Stanley Cup in six years.
The Blackhawks had clinched a championship on home ice for the first time since 1938. The city was celebrating from living rooms to local bars to the United Center itself. The fans were roaring, the players embracing, and amid it all, general manager Stan Bowman found winger Brandon Saad.
The ’Hawks drafted Saad in the second round in 2011, a year after they won the first Cup of this run. He chipped in as they won the Cup in 2013, developed into a top-six forward last season and played a major role in this Cup. Now he’s 22 and a pending restricted free agent – a tempting target for an offer sheet from another team in the salary-cap system.
“I said, ‘This is the first of many. We’re going to win a lot together,’ ” Bowman said with a smile on his face and championship cap on his head. “He gave me a big hug and said, ‘Let’s go.’ He’s going to be here. I don’t think he would want to leave after this scene here.”

So if the Blackhawks don't win it the next 2 years -- 3/8 -- no dynasty? Sounds like 1940 logic.
LOL donnie you gotta win 3 within 6 years of the first.... come on man. Be better.
