Long and winding road to Stanley Cup
It was the shortest of seasons, it was the longest of seasons. The NHL’s 48-game regular season was its shortest since 1942, but the June 24 finish was 10 days later than any other season. To help you refresh your memory, here’s a recap of each round from this year’s playoffs: Stanley Cup Final New Jersey-Detroit: Devils’ Legion of Broom sweeps Red Wings for New Jersey’s first Stanley Cup. Eastern Conference Final New Jersey-Philadelphia: Superpest Claude Lemieux, Superman Scott Stevens power Devils to victory. Western Conference Final Detroit-Chicago: Ed Belfour is spectacular, but Red Wings win three in OT for first trip to final since 1961. Eastern Semifinals New Jersey-Pittsburgh: Martin Brodeur lowers goals-against average to 1.25, Penguins 1-for-16 on power play.

National goes to great lengths to give back to fans
If you’re looking for evidence that the sports card hobby is going through difficult times, look no further than the National Sports Collectors Convention. This year’s event, scheduled for July 24-30 in St. Louis, features 50,000 free autographs, a virtual reality system that allows you to play goal against Wayne Gretzky, sports clinics, tons of giveaways and, oh yeah, 750 dealers who will be trying to sell cards and sports memorabilia.

Free hockey signers include Hall of…
