The 2009 NHL Playoffs and 2009 Stanley Cup Finals

Get ready for the Amazing Atmosphere, Fanatical Fans, and Media Mania that surrounds the quest for the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America - coveted Lord Stanley's Cup.

The Stanley Cup Finals are one of the great sporting events on earth. The Stanley Cup is easily one of the most coveted awards in professional sports, and thus it brings out unparalleled passion in players and fans alike, making it a wildly popular event. The Stanley Cup comes into play after months of regular season games and multiple rounds of postseason best of seven series. The Stanley Cup Finals prove beyond any doubt who is the best and the toughest team in the National Hockey League.

The Stanley Cup Finals is the final series of postseason games of the National Hockey League. The Stanley Cup Finals are won by winning four of seven games played between the champions of the Western and Eastern Conferences. The Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded to the team who wins the Stanley Cup Finals. That team’s members are inscribed on the cup itself, and the team keeps the cup until another team wins the finals, at the earliest the following year. The Stanley Cup is also known as “the Cup”, “the Holy Grail” or ironically, “Lord Stanley’s Mug”.

The trophy itself was donated in 1892 by the Governor General of Canada, Lord Stanley, to the top-ranked amateur hockey team in Canada. With various league expansions and consolidations, the Stanley Cup has become the oldest sports trophy in North America and the highest ice hockey honor in the world.

The Stanley Cup Finals games are played at the respective home arenas of the two final teams competing for the championship. The team with the better regular season record receives the home ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Finals, and hosts games 1, 2, 5, and 7, whereas the team without that advantage hosts games 3, 4, and 6.
