NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was named “Sports Executive of the Year” at the 2014 Sports Business Journal Awards. This the first time Commissioner Bettman has won the award.
“While I am extremely proud to receive this award, I am more proud of the great people at the National Hockey League who helped make 2013-14 a record-setting season on a variety of levels — including thrills, excitement and fun,” he said. “I also thank our Clubs, our broadcast and business partners and the best fans in sports for their support; I know that their combined power will generate an even-brighter future for NHL hockey.”
Other nominees for “Sports Executive of the Year” were Fox Sports President and COO Randy Freer; Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber; Under Armour CEO and founder Kevin Plank; and Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.
The NHL won two other awards including “Sports League of the Year” and “Sports League of the Year” for the 2014 Bridgestone Winter Classic at the “Big House” in Michigan. The League was previously honored with a Sports Business Award in this category in 2011.
Accepting the award was NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly, who told reporters, “Our athletes are the best in team sports. We wouldn’t be standing here tonight without the players.”
Other nominees for “Sports League of the Year” included the Atlantic Coast Conference, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, NASCAR and PGA Tour.
The Winter Classic game, held at the University of Michigan, shattered the previous hockey attendance record with a record crowd of 105,491 and captured its second Sports Business Award. It previously won in 2009 for the inaugural 2008 NHL Winter Classic in Buffalo. NHL Chief Operating Officer John Collins accepted the award.
“What makes the NHL Winter Classic so special is the way our fans and our players have embraced it,” Collins said. “Our great partners at Bridgestone and NBC also play a vital role and we’re grateful to the SportsBusiness Journal for once again recognizing the Winter Classic as an event that does what sports is supposed to do: Bring people together to create unforgettable memories for generations of fans.”
The other nominees for “Sports Event of the Year” were Super Bowl XLVIII, the 2013 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the 2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open, The ONE: Mayweather vs. Canelo presented by Showtime Networks.

I am in Israel right now visiting family. The weather is sunny and warm. I am not only a sister, aunt, and daughter but a writer for a hockey website.
Hence, I look for hockey everywhere I travel! This means I searched the Holy Land. The Middle East gives us images of hot weather, no water, and sand dunes bigger than camels! But, is there hockey in the land of mircles? Can there be hockey night in Israel?
You betcha! The ”Ice Hockey Federation of Israel‘ is alive and well! The website (yes, Virginia, there is an Israeli Hockey Federation!) is full of different teams and levels. Club names include: the Hawks and Devils. “Dragon” is a hockey school and one of their teams are called the ”Vampires.”
On the front page of the site is a help wanted poster for hockey instructors. The land of milk and honey needs instructors, because the league is expanding. Here is your chance future instructors! Explore new avenues in a new league in a place where snow is a miracle and ice is only found in drinks! If interested, please check out the website: israhockey.co.il
It would be mind numbing (in a good way) if all the problems here would be fought out on the ice rink. Where a weapon was a hockey stick instead of a gun. A game of skills would be played where the winners would get a cup and the losers would have next year to try again. That, my readers, is only a dream, maybe in the future peace with a puck might even happen.
On the other side of this coin is the United Arab Emirates Ice Hockey League. The first ever game was played on October 7th, 2009 and, with 5 teams only, the season can be short. The teams’ names include: Vipers, Scorpions and, my favorite, Camel.
I still think hockey should be played and worshiped in a land where snow falls and ice is made by itself. Maybe it is my upbringing? For me the game is meant for you dressing in enough layers so you never feel your arms nor legs at the rink during the entire game. To get to the rink, the sky was full of snow clouds and the temperature was in the minuses! Maybe I am from the old school of hockey, can I be out-of-the-loop when it comes to league homes?
I guess the international language of Hockey is everywhere now. The game is played in backyards all over the planet. I guess it doesn’t really matter if the clouds above your head never snows. Maybe it is all about the spirit of the game, the friendships that it brings, the laughs, the losing moments where a smile from the coach counts and all the positive things Hockey brings out in people. That is the legacy of Hockey, no matter where you play it!
The Idaho Steelheads, ECHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars announced Thursday that the team has reached an agreement with Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Brad Ralph to extend his contract with the team.
Ralph, who just completed his second season with the Steelheads, is now under contract through the 2016-17 season. Financial terms of the agreement will not be disclosed.
“This is a fabulous town with great fans and I’m grateful to continue coaching for a first-class organization,” Ralph said of the extension. “I’ve already started working on next year’s team and my sights, as always, are on bringing the Kelly Cup home to Boise.”
The 33-year-old Ralph has combined to win 84 games over his first two seasons with the Steelheads. Along the way, twelve different players on ECHL-level contracts have earned AHL call-ups with six signing AHL-level contracts for the 2013-14 season. Idaho reached the ECHL Western Conference finals last season and reached the Western Conference semifinals this season.
Ralph began his coaching career with the SPHL Augusta Riverhawks for two seasons before joining the Steelheads in 2012.
Providence forced a decisive Game 7 in their second round series against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. This was the second straight year that the two teams met in the second round and the second straight year that the Penguins came out on top in a Game 7. Once again, it seemed like it was just not in the cards for Providence even though they showed remarkable resilience.
In Game 7, the teams skated the whole first period scoreless. Providence had come out with a convincing 4-1 win in Game 6 to send it to a decisive Game 7. The Bruins decided to stick with Nicklas Svedberg between the pipes as it had been in Game 6 and that proved to be a dangerous decision. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins scored 4 goals during a four minute stretch towards the beginning of the second period. Anton Zlobin scored his fifth of postseason as did Conor Sheary, giving Sheary a 6 game point streak. That resulted in a goalie change to Malcolm Subban. He let in a power play goal just a couple minutes into playing.
With the 5-0 lead, it seemed to be all but sealed for the Penguins. However, the Bruins were not willing to go down without a fight. With less than a minute left in the second period, David Warsofsky scored a shorthanded goal.
The teams came back for the third period with the Penguins leading 5-1. The Bruins quickly found the back of the net again, less than 30 seconds into the period. This time it was Ryan Spooner with his 6th of the postseason. Alexander Khokhlachev added two of his own, one of the power play, giving him a league leading 9 postseason goals. That was as close as they would get as they were not able to finish the comeback and fell 5-4 to the Penguins.
Despite the second round exit, the Providence Bruins have a lot to be proud of, especially with the postseason. They managed to rally late in the season to secure the 7th spot in the playoffs. During the first round, they forced the second seeded Springfield Falcons to play a full five game series before winning to advance. Then, they had some impressive moments in their series with Penguins to take it to 7 games.
Throughout the season, Providence had to contend with a number of injuries and call-ups. There were 8 different players that made their NHL debuts with Boston this season, including defenseman Kevan Miller that stayed up with Boston all season. They also had to supplement their roster with a number of players on tryout contracts.
The Providence Bruins had a young team this season and will have a lot to build on. Rookie forwards Alexander Khokhlachev and Seth Griffith, who made a big impact both during the regular season and during the playoffs, will both be back for their sophomore seasons. Rookie goaltender Malcolm Subban, who played 33 games, will also return. Second year player Ryan Spooner is still under contract but could make a push for Boston.
They have the potential pieces to be competitive again next season, but for now they will have to settle for giving their bodies a chance to rest in the offseason. Next season, many players will likely be hungry to get back to the playoffs.

The ECHL Western Conference will get a little smaller yet again (the San Francisco Bulls folded mid-season reducing the Western Conference to 8 teams for this season), in the 2014-2015 season, as the Las Vegas Wranglers will temporarily suspend operations for the season to work out a new arena deal. A unanimous vote by the ECHL Board of Governors granted the Wranglers a voluntary suspension of operations for the upcoming season, while securing a place for the team in the league for 2015-16 and beyond. The team will return for the 2015-16 season and details for a new home arena will be released at a later date.
Earlier this year, the Boyd Gaming Group revealed that they would not renew the teams’ lease at the Orleans Arena, forcing the Wranglers to scramble to figure out a solution in a short amount of time. A new plan was brought forth to house the team on the roof of the Plaza Hotel beneath a tent. The project ended up more pricey than originally expected, leaving Las Vegas in a bind to find a new home for the team in a very limited time window.
“We were given very little time to find a solution for the 2014-15 season,” said Wranglers president and COO Billy Johnson. “We were very close to having everything in order for the 2014-15 season with the little time we had. But in the end, we needed a few weeks more, and the ECHL simply had to get on with its business. We cannot thank the ECHL board enough for giving the Wranglers a chance to see through all that we have accomplished in such a short time. Obviously, they have seen what we are working on. We are all excited.”
Because of a number of confidentiality agreements with future Wranglers partners, the team is still unable to reveal details of where their new home will be, but say the big news today is that the team’s future is secure with the league.
“The only news that matters today is that we are playing in Las Vegas in 2015, and we’re playing in the ECHL.” Johnson said. “Now we have a more appropriate amount of time to do things the best way possible, as opposed to rushing into something that our fans may not ultimately embrace. In this case, a year off is a very good thing for Wranglers fans. This still is ‘my town, my team,’” Johnson said, echoing the public rallying cry when the news first broke in January.
“We are not going anywhere,” Johnson said. “We’ve accomplished a lot since 2003, and come too far since January to turn back.”
Two NCAA Division I college hockey players have announced they are battling the same form of rare bone cancer.
Drew Brown, a junior forward for Providence College, announced his illness six days ago. He was diagnosed was Ewing’s sarcoma when he received an MRI for a lower body injury sustained during the hockey season.
Today, Justin Woods, a defenseman who just finished his freshman year at Alaska, announced his battle with the same disease. Both players will miss the 2014-2015 hockey season while they receive treatment.
Both have said their cancer is in early stages, and they will undergo chemotherapy – Brown in his home state of Michigan, and Woods in Seattle, Washington.
“My family and my teammates have been great,” Brown said in a statement. “I have had so much support from them and that’s made a tough situation a lot easier.”
Brown played in 16 games in the 2013-2014 season, notching two goals and four assists. He was forced to sit out all three of Providence’s playoff games against UMass Lowell after he sustained that lower body injury.
Woods registered one goal and three assists in 33 games with the Nanooks in 2013-2014, netting his first collegiate goal in the WCHA playoffs against Alaska-Anchorage.
“Although I am missing the 2014-15 season, I am very lucky for this to have been caught early,” Woods said in a statement. “My doctor promised that I would play hockey again, so I am holding on to that with my life while going through this long process of treatments.”
Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare cancer that affects mainly children and young adults. If caught early enough, before it spreads, it can be treated successfully in 50% to 75% of cases.
Brown’s family has started a fund for those who wish to help in providing financial support. A similar one for Woods can be found here.

After a remarkable comeback against the Pittsburgh Penguins, down 3 to 1, the New York Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, playing against the Montreal Canadiens, New York is up 2 games to none. The Rangers have won 5 straight playoff games, and remain positive about the future.
Montreal fell short during game 1, losing to New York 7 – 2. The Rangers fired shots on goal and got past Carey Price. Unfortunately for Montreal, a collision with Rangers Chris Kreider and Carey Price will cost Price the remainder of the series. Controversy is swirling around Kreider’s collision to Price, especially among the Canadiens’ coaching staff. They are speculating the hit may have been intentional.
Within the first 5 minutes of play, Dominic Moore slid the puck to Marty St. Louis to score on a wide open net. Two minutes later, Derek Stepan failed to stuff it past Price, but Mats Zuccarello delivered on the rebound and lifted it into the net.
In the second period, Montreal scored against the Rangers. A quick pass by Brian Gionta, the puck went past an unsuspecting Henrik Lundqvist, credited to Rene Bourque. Bell Centre got back into the game, hopeful for more pucks in the net.
With a minute to go in the second period, New York responded right back to Montreal. Chris Kreider came up the middle and scored, making it 3-1. With just 12 seconds remaining, Brad Richards received a pass from behind the net from Zuccarello and then scored, making the game 4-1.
During the third period, 3 more Rangers goals were scored. Ryan McDonagh got a tally, then Derek Stepan on a 5-on-3 power play, and the last Rangers goal was scored by Rick Nash, also on a power play.
Montreal Canadiens’ Lars Eller scored a second, cosmetic goal at the end of the third period, making the final 7-2.
Game 2 at Bell Centre proved no more hopeful for the Canadiens, as they fell again to the Rangers, 3-1. The Canadiens called up a new goaltender, 24-year-old rookie, Dustin Tokarski. Playing in game 2 was his first ever playoff game.
Montreal put pressure on New York early in the game, scoring first. Mats Zuccarello had trouble with the puck close to his own goalie, and Canadiens left wing Max Pacioretty was able to score. A bouncing puck went past Henrik Lundqvist.
Later in the first period, Ryan McDonagh and Rick Nash scored to take the lead.
In the second period, the only goal scored was by Marty St. Louis on the power play, extending the lead to 3-1 Rangers. No goals were scored in the third period. Henrik Lundqvist turned aside 40 shots.
“We are trying right now to inspire each other, and personally for me it’s a lot of fun to be out there, it’s exciting, it’s pressure, but it’s a chance to grab on to an opportunity,” Lundqvist said after the game. “My goal here is to leave it all out there. In the end will it be enough? We’ll see. But you don’t want to sit at the end of the year and feel like you had more to give.”
The Rangers will be looking for their sixth straight win, and will come back to Madison Square Garden in New York City on the 22nd of May at 8 pm.
Remaining games of the series:
Game 4 – 25. May at 8 pm NYC
*Game 5 – 27. May at 8 pm MTL
*Game 6 – 29. May at 8 pm NYC
*Game 7 – 31. May at 8 pm MTL
On Tuesday afternoon Montréal Canadiens head coach Michèl Therrien held a télé-conference to answer media questions about his plans for the remainder of the playoff’s.
His first question came from RDS and pertained to Max Pacioretty.
Q: (Max) Pacioretty has 39 goals, and four goals in the playoffs. What’s impressed you the most about his growth and his leadership with the team this year?
The coach thought that Max has become a real young leader with the team. He’s been given more responsibility this past year. He is one of the guys that Therrien would use at the end of the game if they have the lead and they’re looking for a quick goal. He believes that Max has a good attitude, he’s been working hard, and that he’s growing inside the club. He will become a real leader with time and growing with maturity.
The next question was from the New York Times.
Q: I want to know if you think the two days off will help to re-energize your team? That was a long, emotional series with Boston, and a quick turnaround. Do you think it will be good to help your team that way?
The coach does believe that the team will turnaround. The first game was tough for them, they did not get a real break between Game 7 and Game 1, as well as it being an afternoon game. It showed with the result. Even though they lost Game 2, he believed that they regrouped well, and played as a highly energetic team. They played a solid game. The day off will be mentally good for the players, and he’s anxious to see the guys tomorrow. He’s optimistic they can get their first win soon, seeing as how playoff momentum can change real quick.
Question three was from ESPN/TSN.
Q: Is there a difference in the Rangers after after what happened with Marty St. Louis? Can you just tell something about this Ranger team?
Coach Therrien said that obviously he knows this is a good hockey team, and they have some leadership that has won a cup in the past. It’s the best team they have met, but he likes the way the Habs played on Monday, and it has given him confidence for Game 3. He said that with the leadership of Marty St. Louis, a guy who’s won an Olympic Gold Medal and a Stanley cup, that he’s doing a helluva job with the Rangers.
Radio Canada Sports.
Q: You talked about your team playing better yesterday, and they certainly did a better job. What do you have to do though to step it up? What didn’t you do yesterday?
Coach Therrien thought that even though the team kept focus, and did a lot of good things, that Lundqvist was phenomenal in the game. There are way they can get better, and the team did give up a little bit in the odd man rush. Those are just little things they are capable of fixing. He likes how they engage in the game, but that they need some breaks. Yesterday, they didn’t get any. The Rangers got theirs, and they capitalized on it. They need that one win to change momentum.
Q: You had 41 shots at them (Rangers), but did you feel that there were times when you could have done a better job of getting second chances or taking advantage.
The Coach said he had to give credit to the Rangers. The Habs made quite a few shots, sometimes missing the net by a few inches, and they battled to get rebounds. Rene Bourque got three scoring chances on rebounds, but Lundqvist made all the right saves. The Rangers and their defense did an excellent job to block the Habs chances.
The next question was from the New York Times and pertained to Rick Nash’s previous slump.
Q: Coach, I wanted to ask you, Rick Nash has been slumping for a long time, and now he’s scored twice in two games. He looks like he’s regained his scoring touch. Is there any special attention that you have to pay now to Rick Nash in terms of checking him more closely or anything like that?
The coach agreed that he’s a world class player, and they try to pay attention to everyone on the ice. He said that they were going to pay attention to all the Rangers, not just Nash.
James Murphy from TSN.ca
Q: In the first two rounds you’ve been riding the high, and getting a lot of breaks, and now things have turned the other way. How much do you lean on your veteran core right now to help the younger kids ride the wave?
Coach Therrien says that he has the luxury of coaching a great group of players who care. That is the reason they’ve made it this far. The guys are going to come to the rink with the right attitude, and make sure the team is ready for Thursday night. They’ve surprised a lot of people throughout the season. At the start of the season many people believed they wouldn’t even make it to the playoffs, but they did. It was a big shock when they swept the Tampa Bay Lightning, and an even bigger surprise when they beat the Bruins. He feels that even though people may not believe in them, that the team believes in themselves.
Q: What do you think about Alex Galchenyuk yesterday, the different look he gave your team, and that line with Vanek. What do you expect from him next game?
The coach was happy with how he played, especially for not playing in six weeks. In a game that is not the same pace as a regular season game, Alex did very well in his first game back. He was very capable and made some plays. The more the series goes on, the more we’re going to see Alex getting better and better.
The Toronto Marlies were the first team to advance to the Western Conference Finals in the AHL when they completed their second straight post season sweep. On Sunday, they found out there opponent would be the Texas Stars, the team who finished with the best record in the league. Texas won Game 6 by an impressive score of 7-1 and took the series 4-2 against the Grand Rapids Griffins.
The Eastern Conference Finals have yet to be decided. The St. John’s IceCaps will host either the Providence Bruins or Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, depending on how Game 7 of that series goes tomorrow. But the schedule for the Western Conference Finals has been decided. It is as follows:
Game 1: Friday, May 23 (7:30pm) Toronto at Texas
Game 2: Monday May 26 (7:30pm) Toronto at Texas
Game 3: Wednesday May 28 (7pm) Texas at Toronto
Game 4: Thursday May 29 (7pm) Texas at Toronto
*Game 5: Saturday May 31 (3pm) Texas at Toronto
*Game 6: Monday June 2 (7:30pm) Toronto at Texas
*Game 7: Tuesday June 3 (7:30pm) Toronto at Texas
(* indicates if necessary)
The teams met four times over the course of the regular season. Texas came away with two wins, one loss, and one shootout loss. Drew MacIntyre started every game for the Marlies during the four game regular season series, including one where he was pulled. The Stars registered 49 shots and won 6-0 that game. Stars goalie Jack Campbell was not available for any of the games against the Marlies. He has played 4 games this postseason.
The Toronto Marlies have yet to lose in the postseason. For the most part, the games have not been all that close. Their only overtime game came in Game 3 of their second round series. But when it was all said and done, they still outscored Chicago 17-7 to advance to the Conference Finals.
The Texas Stars swept Oklahoma City in the first round in a much closer series than Toronto had. Their series with Grand Rapids went to 6 games. Texas jumped out to a 2-0 series lead, only to let Grand Rapids tie it up, winning games 3 and 4. But Texas showed why they finished the season with the best record in the league. They dug back and won the next two games. They have shown resilience throughout this postseason so far.
These two teams have both been impressive. They finished atop their respective divisions and the Conference Finals are sure to be fun to watch. Toronto has been off since Friday and Texas finished on Sunday. Both teams will have time to rest before the Conference Finals get underway on Friday.

No no-goal could stop the Blackhawks from taking advantage of home ice Sunday. Despite one small scoring snafu they managed a 3-1 win over the L.A. Kings.
Captain Jonathan Toews had a chance to score the game-winning goal at 3:22 in the second period, and to everyone with a view and access to the NHL rulebook, it seemed he did when he powered to the net, and shot the puck that would ultimately go off of Kings defenseman Slaya Voynov‘s skate and in, just as Toews dove over goalie Jonathan Quick.
The goal went to review and was ultimately reversed on the following grounds:
“At 3:22 of the second period in the Los Angeles Kings-Chicago Blackhawks game, the referee consulted video review to see if Jonathan Toews’ initial shot entered the Los Angeles net. It was determined Toews’ initial shot did not enter the net. The referee’s original call on the ice was “good goal” but a discussion between the on-ice officials resulted in a “no goal” decision because Toews made incidental contact with Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick before the puck crossed the goal line. This is not a reviewable play therefore the decision on the ice stands–no goal and no penalty.”
Oddly, no one witnessed the “no goal” decision on the ice.
The rules that could have applied here are 69.1: Interference on the Goalkeeper, and 78.5 Disallowed Goals.
The issue with recalling the goal based on interference with the goalkeeper is this particular clause, “The rule will be enforced exclusively in accordance with the on-ice judgment of the Referee(s), and not by means of video replay or review.”
Another issue is that, were Toews responsible for interference, he should have been called for it and penalized–unless it were no fault of his own, which did appear to be the case, and would negate his responsibility for the interference.
The league may be cracking down after Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender Carey Price was injured following a hard crash from the New York Rangers’ Chris Kreider May 17.
“I think the way the standard is, the way the rules are, I think you’ve got to–goalies need protection,” Coach Joel Quenneville said. “I understand that.”
The other issue mentioned through social media was that the puck was knocked in off of a skate (Rule 78). However, it was off a defending player’s skate (Voynov), which is fair game. The puck can deflect off of any part of the defending team.
Regardless, the hotly contested, controversial call after review reversed what would give the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead early in the second.
“Obviously, the puck was in, the guys were celebrating. I’m not sure too much interference. I haven’t seen the play,” Toews said after the game. “Obviously, it happened pretty fast.
“I think when it comes down to it, it was disappointing because of, you know, how the play was called on the ice, the fact it was non‑reviewable.
“I think some of those go against us. We were hoping that one was going to go for us in a way. Like I said, a tough situation, but it’s over now.”
The team didn’t shake it off quite so easily during the game.
There was a drastic change in momentum that could have easily been prevented with a better explanation from the officials.
Instead, the Kings were able to capitalize on a disappointed Hawks team, outshooting them 17-6 the rest of the second period.
Tyler Toffoli was able to tip in a shot from Tanner Pearson slightly over a minute after that overturned goal. Jeff Carter was also credited with an assist on the goal that tied this game 1-1.
Corey Crawford was a second period savior, only allowing Toffoli’s goal.
Duncan Keith brought the game back into Chicago’s favor 11:54 into the second with a slapshot assisted by Brandon Saad and Marcus Kruger.
Prior to the second period blunders, this game was all Chicago. Shots were 7-5 in the Blackhawks’ favor, and they scored the first goal.
Following a roughing penalty on Alec Martinez, Saad was able to redirect a shot from Nick Leddy on the power play (also assisting, Marian Hossa) at 5:14 in the first.
And, Toews was able to get his name on the board after all, making the final score 3-1, when he wristed in a shot from a three-on-one play with Hossa and Johnny Oduya, with 3:50 left in the game.
Overall, the Blackhawks held their own in this one–even when Hossa shot down a hit from Kings Captain Dustin Brown.
They tied 31-31 in faceoffs. They led in blocked shots 25-15.
Crawford made 25 saves to Quick’s 17.
The Hawks are leading the playoff teams in penalty kills by more than 7.5 percent, killing 44 of 48 Power Plays so far.
But, that doesn’t mean they’re unaware of the power they have with the Kings as their opponents, particularly with the Marian Gaborik, Anze Kopitar, and Jeff Carter line.
“It’s going to be a work in progress, a challenge game in, game out,” Quenneville said. “They got three nice players that all complement one another. They’re dangerous. Every time they touch the puck, every time they’re on the ice, you got to be aware.”
Besides, the stakes are getting higher:
The Blackhawks now lead the best of seven series 1-0. The remaining games are scheduled (tentatively) as follows:
Game 2 Wed, May 21 7:00 p.m. CT United Center NBCSN
Game 3 Sat, May 24 7:00 p.m. CT Staples Center NBC
Game 4 Mon, May 26 8:00 p.m. CT Staples Center NBCSN
Game 5 Wed, May 28 7:00 p.m. CT United Center NBCSN (if necessary)
Game 6 Fri, May 30 8:00 p.m. CT Staples Center NBCSN (if necessary)
Game 7 Sun, June 1 7:00 p.m. CT United Center NBCSN (if necessary)
They’ll put on quite a show, Because it’s the Cup.
