It could end tonight. The
Stanley Cup![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0024QKP2G)
could be awarded to the
Chicago Blackhawks![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002A40CRK)
. Or the
Philadelphia Flyers![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001H1KK0Q)
could keep making this a ''homers' series'' and take it to gave 7.
For that to happen, though, you'd need a monster performance by
Chris Pronger![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000FEBVG8)
, seen here wearing the
Edmonton Oilers' home jersey in their Cup run the only season he played there, when they lost it to the
Carolina Hurricanes![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000FA57HQ)
partly due to an injury to
Dwayne Roloson. I'm one of those who think Pronger would have won the Conn Smythe had the Oilers won; he was just
that good. I had never liked him before, but wanted him on my team ever since. On the other hand, had I been on the Oilers' coaching staff, I would have had the players wear
the alternate jersey at least once in the finals, to change the mood.
Pronger won the Cup the next season with the
Anaheim Ducks![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000T28PZG)
, so he got his, but I have the sneaking suspicion that if the Flyers won it this year, he'd get Conn Smythe consideration again, as he and
Claude Giroux![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003Q4R5T6)
are probably the main reasons why they have made it so far.
This card (#FF-CP) is from
Upper Deck's
2005-06 Ice![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=hellsvalua-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000FTPDQW)
set, the
Frozen Fabrics insert sub-set. As always, the Ice set delivers beautiful cards, and this one has a game-worn piece of jersey on its front to boot; it retails between $35-50. Great stuff!
