I need to correct myself when I stated that only one of the Final Four teams had won a Stanley Cup before. TWO of them have won the Cup in the past, Calgary in '89 and I'm not sure when Philly last won the Cup. I think that perhaps, thedog or aflyersfan can enlighten us on that.
No, I didn't see Bobby Clarke's interview. But thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure how I feel about a change in rules about shields. I remember when the helmet rule came in. In some ways it seems like they're turning it into a "sissy" game with adding even more protective equipment. But then the players in the league are so much bigger and stronger now than when there were only 6 teams, and not even goalie's wore helmets or masks. The players really do need to protect themselves from career-ending, and maybe even life-threatening injuries.
