2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Personal Narrative: My Final Hockey Victory Friday night rolled around, it was the game we had all been working so hard for. Knowing we were seniors, we knew it would be the end of the journey. The team was ready, we had been working extremely hard for the past seven months for this. We were all in great shape and very rested. A few of the returning players were meeting me at my house to carpool to the final game of the state championship tournament. Everyone knew that the hard work had

Chicago to Arlington Heights was almost an hour long. The whole time in the car I couldn’t keep my mind off the Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. How many times would the opportunity arise that I would be in Chicago and the Blackhawks playing in the Stanley Cup semi-finals? There had to be a way we could find tickets for less than what my dad said they cost. An idea hit me out of no where, I knew my uncle Larry was going to attend the Baptism, after all he is a season ticket holder. I couldn’t be selfish

I prepared to put it all on the line in the last match of my youth wrestling career; state finals. Opening ceremonies started one of the biggest moments of my life. The announcer ran through all the names of each wrestler who had worked all day to make it into the championship. Trotting out to the middle of the mat, each athlete shook their opponent's hand and back to the tunnel they went. I reminded myself this was only half my goal as I ran out. I was not meeting my opponent for the first time

As I ran down my shiny wooden staircase, I hurried to get my light blue backpack ready for school. I have a math presentation in third period that is a large portion of my grade, and I am not prepared. I decided to wear light blue, high waisted jeans that were one of my favorites, and a flowy, quarter sleeve, mint green shirt, to show that I could be considerably composed. I quickly looked through the window, and saw my best friends, Chloe and Monisha, waiting to pick me up to go the school. I darted

The Most Average Day of My Life It was an average, regular Tuesday. I woke up at 7:15 to the buzzing of my alarm after a particularly good dream, which I cannot remember at the current moment. I stood up, unsteadily, and turned off my alarm. I then proceeded to lie back down in my bed for about 5 - 10 mins. After that, I got back up, changed my alarm to wake me up Wednesday at 7:25, then I went downstairs to use the bathroom. I went back upstairs to get dressed . Once I was dressed, I was reminded

Wrestling Match Loss   As I crawled off of the mat in anguish, I couldn't believe that I let it happen again. My one chance to settle the score and truly prove that I was better, was gone. My coaches and friends tried to tell me how good I did and how lucky he got, but it only made the pain worse. They put into perspective exactly how close I was to beating him, and it just made me think more. Think about how this was his last year, and how I would never be able to avenge my defeat. It made me

Tossing, turning, and waking up three times before the sun knocks on my window is what my sleep usually consists of. Not to mention the heat trying to strangle me as I wake up gasping for breath every single day. This is a typical morning for me; as sleeping is always the first struggle of the day. My bed finally kicks me out and my blanket strips its warmness away; now I have no choice but to get dressed and ready for a perfect day full of nothing but dull diamonds excluding those that actually

It was the most important game of my life, I arrived at the Poco Rec centre Arena with all my family and friends, With my heart pounding against my chest I knew that this was going to be the most nervous night of hockey I’ve ever played. I slowly creep into my dressing room and I notice that the distinct colour of the room was blue my, Face lit up with excitement because the blue rink is so much better and gives me so much more ice to skate around I was for sure confident going into this game with

Stanley Cup winners from 2000 - 2015! 2015 - Chicago Blackhawks CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks can rub shoulders with some of the greatest teams in hockey history after they won their third Stanley Cup in six years by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-0, to end the close series! The Blackhawks won The Cup at home for the first time since 1938. The Blackhawks had claimed their last two cups, in 2010 and 2013, in game 6 as well, in Philadelphia and Boston. Defenseman

But their luck changed in 2015–16 when, after a slow start and a mid-season coaching change, the team got through the playoffs and won the Stanley Cup, defeating the San Jose Sharks four games to two. Seven years after winning his first Cup at age 21, Crosby was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP with six goals and 13 assists. After he won the award he said, "I look at this as a total team effort. I tried to work hard every night, do my job just
