"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Chicago and Boston, Original Six stalwarts, have never met in a the Stanley Cup Final. (Bill Smith/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Allan Muir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A notated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Stanley Cup dream final? How does  Boston vs. Chicago sound?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Blackhawks could be without top-six forward Patrick Sharp for three weeks  after he suffered a shoulder injury against the Avs on Wednesday night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 It appears the majority of Canadians  now support a ban on fighting in the NHL. Why does my phone never ring for these surveys?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The NHL wants visors to be mandatory.  The NHLPA does not. Seriously. Chris Pronger said yesterday that he supported mandatory visors, but wouldn't agree to it because if you let the NHL make rules unilaterally, you don't know what they'll do next. Yep, nothing worse than having someone looking out for your health and safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Pronger spoke yesterday at a press conference in Philly where he  didn't announce his retirement but enumerated all the reasons he'll never play hockey again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Ryan Getzlaf is a different person from the one who loafed his way through much of last season. Here's  what's behind his amazing comeback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Is Niklas Kronwall  the leading candidate for the Norris Trophy? Really?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Things were ugly early for the Penguins, but a between-periods speech from Tomas Vokoun  sparked a Pittsburgh comeback in another thrilling battle with the Flyers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Canadiens got their own Come-to-Jesus call from  coach Michel Therrien after getting blitzed for 21 shots in the second period of their game against the Canes. The dress down sparked a third-period comeback in a 4-2 win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Canucks have won just three of 11 after last night's loss to Columbus. Vancouver's power play is on an  0-for-16 skid. One reason: they're 29th in the league in shots on goal with the extra man.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Stop me if you've heard this one before (and if you're a Bruins fan, you almost certainly have): Carl Soderberg is considering  coming to the NHL when the Swedish playoffs are over. Soderberg led the SEL with 31 goals this season, but he's talked about coming over every year since being acquired from the Blues in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Kings had allowed just two third period goals over their last nine home games before  giving up three in the third to Dallas last night. Guess how that went for the champs?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Stars could get Ray Whitney back in the lineup for next Tuesday's game against Nashville. Huge, Jerry. Huge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Here's a midseason report card on the Maple Leafs. Looks like the first one in years they won't have to hide from their parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Headline of the week: Islander puckhead faces spank rap. No, that didn't top a story about the Isles being  slapped down in OT by the Rangers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Montreal goaltender Dustin Tokarski's  new mask is specTICular. That's some high-octane punnery right there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The teammates of paralyzed Swiss player Ronny Keller have decided  to finish out their playoff series against Langenthal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Congrats to Anaheim play-by-play man Steve Carroll for calling his  1,000th NHL game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The tributes to the late  Stompin' Tom Connors continue to pour in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Craziest stat of the new season:https://twitter.com/TH2NSTATSGUY/status/309947233002999808&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
