Well Twitter was obviously fun last night including my live tweet but I'm fortunate to follow some good hockey guys on Twitter also who supplied some nice stats and pointers. So here are some random facts:
-Nathan Horton poured water from the TD Garden onto the ice before the game last night (from wyshynski (Greg Wyshynski))
-darrenrovell did a poll asking how many regular season NHL games did the viewers of game 7 watch this year. So with 724 votes, 1 out of every 4 people have watched less than 5 NHL games this year. 58.3% of the voters said they watched more than 20 games this year. This is good because it shows that very casual fans were interested and I'm sure they were turned on by the great game last night. (from darrenrovell (Darren Rovell))
-Through 1993, a Canadian team has won the NHL title at least once every 5 years. Since that year, no Canadian team has won (from darrenrovell)
-This was only the second time in NHL history that an American born player (Tim Thomas) won the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP. The last one was Brian Leetch in 1994 against, well, Vancouver. (from TGfireandice (Tom Gulitti))
-Canadiana teams have lost 4 game 7's since MTL was last team from country to win Cup in 93. VAN (1994), CGY (2004), EDM (2006), VAN (2011) (from TGfireandice)
-The eight total goals for Vancouver breaks Cup Finals record for fewest in 7 game series. DET and TOR both scored only 9 in '45 finals (from TGfireandice)
-This year, the cup was lifted higher than any other time in NHL history (because Zdeno Chara is the tallest player ever) (from Doc Emrick)
