I guess the Pens should have tried harder to get someone -- anyone -- from the Sens roster.

Question.. has Redden & Daug played enough games for Boston.. that if they win, their names will be on the Cup?

Daug in tonight for Campbell.

I believe what you need to get your name on the Cup is one game in the Finals?

All they have to do is play one game in the Finals to get their name on the Cup. Not sure Daugavins will though.

Actually the rules aren't as set in cement as you may think. There is a fascinating history of what some teams got away with.

Prior to 1977 only players who had completed the Stanley Cup playoffs were eligible. Today, players appearing in 41 regular-season games or one Stanley Cup Final game for the championship team have their names engraved on the Cup. The NHL makes exceptions for players who do not meet the standard because of injury or other extenuating circumstances.

However:

To have one's name engraved on the Stanley Cup certain requirements must be met. A player must have at least 41 games played with the club or one game played in the Stanley Cup Finals. However, in 1994 a stipulation was added to allow a team to petition the Commissioner for permission to have players' names put on the Cup if extenuating circumstances prevented them from being available to play.

Teams can also request special permission:

The Detroit Red Wings received special permission from the NHL to inscribe the name of Vladimir Konstantinov, whose career ended after a car accident on June 13, 1997, on the Stanley Cup after Detroit defended their title in 1998.

More recently the Bruins petitioned for, and were allowed to add Marc Savard's name to the Cup. That same year Steven Kampfer played 38 games for the Bruins, but was injured in April, playing in Providence, and never made it back to the lineup. The Bruins petitioned to get his name on but were denied; he still got a Cup ring and was included in the team picture.

Pocklington had his father's name (Basil) engraved on the Cup; it was later X-d out.

Interesting read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Stanley_Cup_engravings

When Konstantinov was included in '98 the Red Wings had 55 names engraved; after that a limit of 52 was imposed, which was broken last year when the Kings engraved 53 names. Dammit!

It's just MS Word Laugh1

Right-click on Rickman's picture, Copy; then CTL-V into a new Word doc. Find appropriate Crysby pic and do the same. Edit the second one to crop, rotate, then remove background (did not know this option until today), change its position to be "In front of text" and move it on over, resizing as needed.

Penguins swept with Walkom on the ice. Nothing can be as delicious as this, could it?

So much for the 'all in' plan. All that firepower and then they score 2 goals in 4.

Worst part is I bet leafs fans think their team was so much better than the penguins Laugh1

What a pathetic performance by the Pens. I assume Crosby was hurt, because he sucked. So did Malkin.

Not surprised in the least Boston won but once again, how badly they killed Pitt is the shocking factor.

I've already said this before, but the Sens softened them up physically and mentally. They had players hurt from some of the hits we were dishing out. And mentally we made them think they were better than they really were.

As for Crosby, he just had his lower face reconstructed. That jaw protector may have impaired his vision down low (may have affected his face offs) but removing it maybe have affected him psychologically.

Malkin had visions of $15M tax free dancing in his head.

Rask was definitely in their heads. But how about that back-hand save by Chara in the dying seconds? Wow!

Bruins went and downright disrespected their star players and just physically dominated the penguins who came completely unglued. I don't get why we didn't do that....probably too afraid to get a penalty.

Gee it's not that hard to see why we got dominated when we had like 7 rookies in the lineup. It's called experience...Boston has it, we don't.

at least the last two games of this ECF were a toss-up
