Stanley Cup while we are in Paris

So our beloved Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup Finals. So when we are in London where will we be able to watch? Also if they win and I want to surprise my kids new Stanley Cup Baseball caps is it easy to ship from US to a hotel in London? How fast could we get them there?

I remember a large bar called The Sports Cafe that had a LOT of TVs and expats for NFL football. Not sure about hockey, but I would think a lot of Canadians live there and they've got to have someplace to watch their beloved sport. It was very close to Piccadilly (of course, where else would it be?) and stayed open pretty late. Although not late enough to accommodate US primetime games. They may show them on satellite delay the next day.

Meant Paris not London. We will be in London for games 5 and 6. We will be in Paris for game 7 if needed.

Easy. The Great Canadian Pub in Sainte Germain. Again, probably not showing during primetime, but it's your best bet for a replay the next day.

Emily offered a prime suspect. The Great Canadian Pub, 5 quai des Grands Augustins, 75006, is on the corner of the Quai des Grands Augustins and rue Git-le-Coeur. The nearest Metro station is St-Michel (Ligne 4) (the exit marked "St-André-des-Arts" is the nearest to the pub). RER station St-Michel Notre Dame (RER B) is also just minutes away from the pub (take the exit marked "Notre Dame"). http://www.tgcparis.com/en/index.html Another Canadian choice in the 6th is the Moose, http://www.mooseparis.com/index.php There is a chain of Australian bars with sports TV. The mates watch all sports but the time difference raises the odds. http://www.cafe-oz.com/ Here is a site for researching many sports bars:

Good luck....I've always felt sorry for the Chicago baseball teams (and that's coming from a die hard Red Sox fan who waited forever for a World Series), but I have to tell you....Bruins in 5 games !
