Last night we learned who will be playing for the Stanley Cup this year, it will be the New Jersey Devils and the Los Angeles Kings. The Devils beat the New York Rangers in overtime, winning the series in 6 games, and earned the right to play for the ultimate prize in sports. Personally I'm glad that the Devils one, they are one of my favorite teams in the East, and I thought that that they had the best chance to beat LA because the Rangers really seemed to be tired these past few games. The Devils also played a very calm game against the Philadelphia Flyers and I remember it was suggested that the Coyotes should have played like that against the Kings in their series.
In actual Coyotes news, there wasn't really anything. Everyone seems to be talking about the heated handshake line, although a lot of people have been pretty understanding about it, except for people in comment threads and on Twitter. We also have some news from around the hockey world, including what may be the best quote ever.
