Hockey players dream of winning the Stanley Cup since they were little kids and now they have a chance. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin both wear the letter C on their jersey and have both been to post season four times since they entered the league. In the post season Crosby has recorded 30 goals and 52 assists = 82 points in the 62 games he has played, while Ovechkin has only recorded 25 goals and 25 assists = 50 points in 37 games he has played (nhl.com). Crosby has taken home the Stanley Cup one time in the four years he has been to the post season, while Ovechkin has never made it to the Cup finals. This explains why Crosby has more games played than Ovechkin has because Crosby has had more success than Ovechkin has in the playoffs.
It took five games and some very opportune goals but the Kings pulled out a win. They now headed to the big stage to face the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Devils were an offensive juggernaut that had big time scorers and a future Hall of Fame goalie. After six games the Los Angeles Kings won their first Stanley Cup Championship in franchise history and became the only eighth seed to ever win the cup. The Los Angeles Kings weren’t in the conversation at all in the beginning of the season to become champions.

Swiftly shot his way into the record books and reached icon status at a remarkably young age. How it all started When Crosby was young he used to go down into his basement and shot pucks into his drier at the age of two then by the age of three he had already learnt to skate. Why is he famous? Sydney Crosby is probably most famous for the records he has set e.g.
He explains that because he is a fast skater, he plays as a left wing with a center and right wing to primarily score goals for their team. He then goes on to explain how he started out playing hockey for his brother’s team when he was five in Waltham, Massachusetts. Shawn also talks about how his career took off in 1992 when he played in the winter Olympics, and was signed to the Pittsburgh Penguins after being on their draft team since his junior year in high school in 1987. After playing the last half of the season with the Penguins, he went on to take them to win the Stanley Cup that year, which is every hockey player’s dream. Although he has been traded to different teams and finally landed with the Ottawa Senators, he does not think of hockey as a “job”.

So Wayne did not get all the education as needed. Wayne Gretzky like I said before has a big family he has a sister named Kim and 4 brothers (Keith, Glen, and Brent).
I made the first move by streaking between the two red circles. I then ripped the puck over his left shoulder on his glove side, slapped the netting and heard the pipes ring as it popped back out. I slid onto my back into the boards like Theo Fleury did that night years ago. Ever since I scored that goal I began to have more confidence in myself, in school and hockey as well. I also found out, after four years of visiting many doctors and trying all kinds of medicine, that I have Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of Autism.
