The best for last

Don Head, Edmonton
 
The present and past history
Between does not run deep
But when the Flyers meet the Hawks
Traditions both will keep
 
Jonathan Toews and Mike Richards
Mikita versus Clarke
Pronger, Seabrook and Duncan Keith
Carcillo, Bolland spark
 
Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne
Patrick Kane and “Big Buff”
The brothers Hull, Barber and Leach
Both teams in own ways tough
 
Niemi and Michael Leighton
Parent, Hall, “Tony O”
Giroux, Versteeg, Van Riemsdyk young
Maturing as they grow
 
Best storyline, third time’s the charm
For Marian Hossa
Pittsburgh, Detroit, now Chicago
Plays Philadelphia
 
These proud cities with raucous fans
Two teams with their shot each
At hockey’s storied Stanley Cup
Deserved win one will reach
