PUTTIN' ON THE FOIL!
This is my blog for hockey fun. I dont write long articles on hockey things, I just love to share videos, pictures and hockey history. Don't expect a lot of insight, just fun.

Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger (Captain), Pierre Turgeon and headcoach Joel Quenneville accept the President's Trophy for having the best regular season record in the 1999-2000 NHL season. The Blues went 51-19-11 and 1 OT loss for 114 points. They finished 9 points ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers for the Trophy. The Blues won the Central Division, the teams first since 1986-87 when they won the Norris Division. They would not win another division title until the 2011-2012 season. The joy didnt last long as they were beaten 4 games to 3 by the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Chicago Blackhawks have clinched the 2013 Presidents’ Trophy, given annually to the National Hockey League team that accumulates the most points during the regular season. This marks the second Presidents’ Trophy (created for the 1985-86 season) in Blackhawks history (1990-91) and the fourth time overall that the team has finished atop the NHL standings (1966-67, 1969-70, 1990-91). The Blackhawks previously clinched the Central Division Championship and the top seed in the Western Conference, and are now ensured home-ice advantage throughout the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs. Chicago currently owns a league-high 75 points, is tied for the league lead with 35 wins (35-6-5) and is the only team in the NHL without double-digit regulation losses this season. The 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs begin on Tuesday, April 30. A complete first-round schedule will be released at the conclusion of the regular season.
They clinched it with a win over the Edmonton Oilers
