Peter Pocklington is well known in hockey circles, being the owner of the Edmonton Oilers during their glory days of the 80’s.
At an auction recently, Pocklington sold off a range of hockey memorabilia at auction. The value of the sales is believed to be worth $294,269 US.
Included in the sale are 5 Stanley Cup Rings (84, 85, 87, 88 & 90), 3 Edmonton Trappers PCL Rings (84, 96 & 97), a 1987 Clarence Campbell Bowl replica and a 1985 Miniature Stanley Cup.
“It’s just memorabilia,” Pocklington told the Edmonton Journal. “I remember being there in real life and those memories will last forever.
“To look at a hunk of gold, that I keep in a safe most of the time anyway, every five years, doesn’t make much sense,” he said. “I’d just as soon use that money and the interest on it to look after my grandchildren.”
- Pocklington auctions off his Stanley Cup rings
Pocklington isn’t new to the sales game of course. He is the man who sold Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings, and in past years has sold other items at auction, including another Stanley Cup miniature and a replica of the Clarence Bowl.

Not since 2003 has a Stanley Cup champion made it through the first round of the playoffs the following year. That trend has continued today after a highly underestimated Dallas Stars routed the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 in Dallas, TX.
The victory in todays game 6 not only eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champions from the playoffs, but broke the “first round” curse that has plagued the Dallas Stars for 5 long painful years.
Marty Turco, who has taken the brunt of the criticism over the previous years showed that he is one of the elite netminders in the NHL, finishing the round with a GAA of 2.01, including a shutout in game 1.
Anaheim, who were one of the strongest teams going down the final stretch into the playoffs faltered under the constant Dallas Attack, and struggled to get past the Dallas Defensive group; a group that included 3 rookies and was missing Sergei Zubov and (for most games) Philippe Boucher.
“It’s disappointing because we believe we could do better,” said Anaheim defenseman Scott Niedermayer, the Conn Smythe winner as MVP of last year’s postseason who retired then decided to return to chase another Cup. “Our sights were set higher than this.”
- Yahoo! Sports
Dallas now have a few days to relax before the Western Conference Semi-Finals begin. The Stars will face either the Colorado Avalanche or the San Jose Sharks in round 2, but wont know who until after game 7 between the Flames and Sharks on Tuesday evening.

A week ago who would have thought that the Anaheim Ducks would be on the edge of playoff elimination in game 5 against the Dallas Stars. All but die-hard Dallas Fans appeared to have that much confidence in this Stars team, but they went out and they battled hard.
And today, in less than 12hrs time the Dallas Stars stand on the edge of 2 major milestones; elimination the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Anaheim Ducks from the playoffs, and more importantly making it past a first round.
Although the Stars share their victories and defeats equally, netminder Marty Turco needs this more than ever. Turco has been the brunt of the public backlash over the last fews seasons, even last year when he posted 3 shutouts in a 7 game series against Vancouver, which the Stars eventually lost in.
“Tonight I felt really good,” said Turco, who made 28 saves. “I had an opportunity to see all the shots that came my way. There were some anxious, scrambly moments in the second period. But the guys were doing all they could to help me.”
- Yahoo! Sports
The Stars have momentum and a “knowledge” that they can win. Now, they just have to go out there and take it.

The 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are here. In just a few hours the pucks will drop on a series of Round 1 games, marking the start of 2 months of grueling battles to find an eventual victor.
This is a good time then to take a look at the battles for Round 1.
In the east
Montreal Canadiens (1) Vs Boston Bruins (8)
The Bruins struggled this year. First they lost Patrice Bergeron to a season ending concussion, then later in the year Marc Savard goes down with an injury. Yet, somehow they scraped through to the playoffs, and they go into them equal to all other teams. Montreal however are a hot team who have the leagues best Powerplay. Boston, in order to keep in this series will need to stay out of the box.
Pittsburgh Penguins (2) Vs Ottawa Senators (7)
Ignoring the fact that Brian Murray accused the Penguins of throwing their last game, am I the only one who hopes to see the Penguins kick some serious ass this series? Last year the fresh faced Penguins were routed from the playoffs in just 5 games by a stronger, more powerful Senators team. This year the teams are evenly matched and both offensive powerhouses.
Washington Capitals (3) Vs Philadelphia flyers (6)
The classic Cinderella story. Alexander Ovechkin is in the playoffs for the first time, and with him is a solid determined Capitals team. The management of that team deserve awards for the progress and improvements they made with the team. The Flyers have been inconsistent, and will need to be 110% on their game to beat the Caps.
New Jersey Devils (4) Vs New York Rangers
The battle of the creek, as it was referred to earlier on today. These 2 teams have plenty of reasons to hate each other, and you can guarantee a very passionate series. Unfortunately neither team can guarantee an offensive display, so expect physical defensive style hockey.
In the west
Detroit Red Wings (1) Vs Nashville Predators (8)
There is nothing bad you can say about the Red Wings this year. Top of their division, top of their conference and top in the league on points. The best goalie duo (by stats) in the league. Nashville don’t have a Crosby or Ovechkin. They don’t have a Hasek. They do however have a very potent young goalie in Dan Ellis, and a very effective Pack Mentality style play. At the end of the day however, the Predators may find themselves a little behind the eight-ball.
San Jose Sharks (2) Vs Calgary Flames (7)
If there was going to be an upset, this might be it. Going into the last day of the regular season, there was a chance that the Sharks may face the Avalanche in the first round. In fact, most Sharks fans wanted them instead of the Flames. Look for Iginla to lead the Flames to a long series against the Sharks, possibly even 7 games.
Minnesota Wild (3) Vs Colorado Avalanche (6)
Veteran leadership Vs Young blood. That’s how this series may end up being. The Avalanche have been reuniting old team mates, the question now is whether the likes of Sakic and Forsberg are able to content with the young speedsters like Marian Gaborik.
Anaheim Ducks (4) Vs Dallas Stars (5)
Defending champions the Anaheim Ducks have had a strange type of season. If not for the controversial return of both Selanne and Niedermayer earlier in the season they would not be in the playoffs. Their leading scorer, Corey Perry is out and Chris Pronger is likely going to do something to get himself a suspension. Unlike last year the Ducks don’t have a powerful attack this time round. They do however have the best Blue Line in the league with Pronger, Niedermayer, Schneider and Beauchemin. Dallas will have to battle with their own demons however. Getting past the first round is the goal of this team, and you can expect goalie Marty Turco to be on his game. The inclusion of proven playoff performer Brad Richards in the lineup may have the desired impact. The Stars, unlike the Ducks, can score this year, so expect a very hard hitting, physical game.
Predictions?
I know people like predictions, so here are my wildly unpredictable, highly unlikely, but what they hey predictions…
East:
Montreal Canadiens in 5 games
Pittsburgh Penguins in 5 games
Washington Capitals in 6 games
New Jersey Devils in 7 games
West:
Detroit Red Wings in a 4 game sweep.
Calgary Flames in 7 games
Colorado Avalanche in 6 games
Dallas Stars in 6 games

The return of Sidney Crosby. The skills of Evgeni Malkin. The wall that is marc-andre Fleury. If you ask the Pittsburgh Penguins what the secret to success has been this year, they will probably tell you that hard work, determination and a never say die attitude has been the recipe for success.
Todays win, a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, a possible first round opponent gives the Penguins home ice in the Playoffs.
“It’s huge. To win at home and win the division against a rival, I’ll bet everyone in here will say it’s our best win of the season, and Sunday could even top that,” defenseman Ryan Whitney said. “It’s exciting in here right now.”
- Yahoo! Sports
From team captain Sidney Crosby…
“We knew going in it was going to be an emotional game, an intense game with them needing to play desperate hockey and us wanting to play well here down the stretch, with the division in mind,” Crosby said. “For me personally, that’s probably the most intense game we’ve played since I got back here the second time.”
- Yahoo! Sports
That success blossomed today as the Pittsburgh Penguins clinched the Atlantic Division. It’s been 10 years since the Penguins last won their Division, and the team today is vastly different from that in 1998.
In 1998 the Penguins lost in the first round to the Montreal Canadiens 2 games to 4.

The San Jose Sharks have hired a new head coach. Todd McLellan, formerly an assistant coach with the Stanley Cup winning Detroit Red Wings will be formerly announced as the new head coach on Thursday.
After 18 seasons in the NHL, 2 MVP awards and 6 Vezina Trophies, “The Dominator” Dominik Hasek has announced his retirement.
It was quite possibly the most important game the Washington Capitals have played over the last 5 years. Going in to todays game against the Florida Panthers the Capitals were tied with the Carolina Hurricanes on 92 points for the lead of the South East Division.
