It was difficult for me to figure out what to write for this game preview. I can't believe that a whole season and post-season is riding on one, possibly two, games -- it's quite honestly some of the most painful and intense hockey I've ever watched, or will watch in a long time (knowing how crazy hockey can be). There's not much left to say. Everybody already knows the following things:

Stanley Cup Final schedule:

Game Date Time Location Network
6 Mon 6/15 8 PM United Center NBC, CBC, TVA
7 Wed 6/17 8 PM Amalie NBC, CBC, TVA

But none of this stuff matters much any more. Tonight the Blackhawks are on the "brink of a dynasty," and I would like nothing more than to see my young and dumb Southern team topple this Goliath.

Win it, Tampa Bay Lightning!

Bring it home for Game 7.

But win or lose, I have to say, it's been the best fucking season since 2004.

We've come a long long way together

Through the hard times and the good

I have to celebrate you baby,

I have to praise you like I should!

Thank you for an amazing year.
