History will be made in the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals.

Nashville is officially a hockey town!

• Last Updated: April 24, 2017

The Chicago Blackhawks were Central Division champions and led the Western Conference with 109 points in the regular season. The Minnesota Wild were second to the Hawks in both with 106 points.

• Ricky Rothstein

• Last Updated: April 12, 2017

The Chicago Blackhawks are unquestionably the team of the decade as they have won three Stanley Cups, including each of the past two odd-numbered year playoffs.

Home-ice advantage is a great thing to have in the Stanley Cup playoffs, to be sure. Teams at home get the last line change. However, winning on the road in the NHL playoffs has been proven to be a bit easier than in the NBA, NFL or Major League Baseball postseasons. For example, only eight...

• Last Updated: April 12, 2017

Is there a more intriguing first-round playoff series in the NHL this year than Edmonton vs. San Jose?
