With the Stanley Cup Final in full swing, it's time to take a look back at the top 10 champions in Stanley Cup history.Here are the ground rules for this list. First, no teams from the days before the NHL had exclusive control of the Stanley Cup. So, fans of the Montreal Maroons and Vancouver Millionaires are just out of luck.Also, I would only take one team from any given dynasty. It would be pointless to say that the best three teams on the list were all members of the Canadiens, who won five straight Stanley Cups from 1956-1960, or the Islanders, who won four straight from 1980-1983. I just took the best team from those dynasties and put them in the mix to prevent the list from getting redundant.Keep in mind that if I rank one team ahead of another, it doesn't mean I am ranking a particular dynasty ahead of another. I am simply ranking the most dominant single team within that dynasty.Feel free to comment on the list and say why a team should be on it or if you feel a particular team deserves to be higher (or lower) than where they were placed. Just indicate why you feel the way you do.Begin Slideshow

Dejour Closes C$3.5 Million Debt Facility Completes Financing of Initial Kokopelli Production VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ) (the "Company" or "Dejour"), an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in North America's Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, announces that it has closed a fixed term, interest only, C$3.5 million debt facility due December 2014, with Calgary, Canada based Invico Performance Yield Fund Limited Partnership. The interest rate is 14% per annum and the principal is repayable at any time following 6 months from today without penalty. The loan facility has been structured as two advances of C$2.5 million and C$1 million, respectively. As previously reported, the Company is preparing for initial production at its Kokopelli project and enjoys a 72% WI in the entire acreage, with an average 93% gross WI in the initial four wells, subject to a previously announced production sharing agreement with a Denver based drilling fund. With the realization of firmer gas prices to date in 2013 and increased deeper drilling activity in the Basin, most notably by WPX Energy (NYS: WPX) , Dejour is now modeling Kokopelli for the next wave of development. The Company estimates the potential to drill 27 deeper Mancos/Niobrara wells and more than 200 additional Williams Fork wells on its two leases that comprise a total of 2200 gross acres at Kokopelli. Plans are being implemented to drill a high potential Mancos production test at Kokopelli in Q4 2013. The first advance was delivered to the Company today and will be partially applied towards full repayment and cancellation of the C$1.45 million "Tranche B" credit facility and the retirement of an additional C$200,000 against the Company's conventional "Tranche A" loan outstanding with its Canadian Bank. This remains a conventional, reserve-based C$3.5mm facility bearing interest monthly at Prime + 1%. The balance of the first advance and the second advance of C$1.0 million to be received in July 2013 is earmarked for working capital including the final costs related to the initiation of NGL rich gas production from 4 wells at the Company's Kokopelli project currently underway in Colorado. In connection with this financing, the Company will issue to the lender 7,291,667 common share purchase warrants at an exercise price of C$0.24 per share, exercisable for a period of 2 years. A 3.5% fee is payable in cash to Colonial Advisory, agent for the transaction. "We are excited about the association with this Canadian institutional lender. This financing provides Dejour with additional capital to support the production initiation at our flagship Kokopelli, Piceance Basin, Colorado liquids-rich gas property and solidifies an ongoing comfortable relationship with the Company's existing Canadian bank. Dejour can now confidently move forward, joining the ranks as a NW Colorado gas and NGL producer," Robert L. Hodgkinson, Dejour's Co-chairman and CEO commented. About Dejour Dejour Energy Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating projects in North America's Piceance Basin and environs (approximately 117,500 net acres) and Peace River Arch regions (approximately 7,500 net acres).

Prime Focus already has a global footprint with offices in the LA, NY, Canada, the UK and India. That makes it more immune to the problems American-based VXF firms like Rhythm & Hues have had sustaining a viable business model (Prime Focus was one of four companies in the running in the R&H bankruptcy auction eventually won by another global firm, India-based Prana Studios). In March, Prime Focus announced a Chinese joint venture with Hong Kong–based private equity group AID Partners and local partner Zhejiang Jingqi Wenhua Chuanbo Co to invest $3M in a new operation that will provide 2D/3D conversion, VFX and postproduction services on the mainland and in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Its recent credits included stereo VFX, 3D conversion and archive footage colorization work on Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby. Here’s today’s release out of the Shanghai International Film Festival announcing the Beijing opening: Mumbai, India – June 19, 2013 – Prime Focus Limited (“Prime Focus”, BSE code: 532748), a global leader in media and entertainment industry services, announced today that the company will open a new office in Beijing, China. The move brings the full array of services offered by the Prime Focus group of companies to China, including visual effects, 3D conversion, animation via its Prime Focus World (“PFW”) subsidiary, technology and media management solutions via its Prime Focus Technologies (“PFT”) subsidiary, and overall production and post-production services offered within the larger Prime Focus group. The announcement was made at the Shanghai International Film Festival. Set to open later this year (expected Q3), the move into China comes on the heels of the recent joint venture between Prime Focus Limited, AID Partners Capital and Zhejiang Jingqi Wenhua Chuanbo Company Limited. AID Partners Capital is a Hong Kong-based private equity firm focused on expansion capital and buyout opportunities primarily in the media and entertainment sector. In March this year AID Partners Capital had made an equity investment of US$10 million (Rs. 550 mil) in the creative services business, Prime Focus World NV (PFW), a subsidiary of Prime Focus Limited. In addition to Beijing, Prime Focus maintains offices in Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York, London and Mumbai. According to the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, China’s 2012 box office receipts increased 30%; in majority part due to imported films; ranking China as the world’s second-largest box office next to the US (surpassing Japan). People’s Republic of China (PRC) is also the largest 3D market outside of the United States, encouraging the government to relax import restrictions that now allow an additional 14 foreign films to be distributed in China provided they are in 3D or large format. “We are enthusiastic about the shared opportunities our expansion into China brings,” said Namit Malhotra, founder of Prime Focus, “We have always recognized the advantages that globalization coupled with intense localization brings and have evolved our business strategy accordingly. After India, Europe and North America, China was the growth story waiting to happen. We are fortunate to have had AID Partners Capital extend the relationship beyond investment in to a formal market entry vehicle to expand our footprint in to one of the most influential markets in the world. I look forward to offering our full suite of creative and technology services to the Chinese market.” Prime Focus continues to thrive, having secured multiple rounds of growth capital in the past six months and underscoring the company’s unique capabilities in working with industry partners around the world. PFW has brought its expertise to many wide release Hollywood films, including most recently Baz Lurhmann’s The Great Gatsby, and upcoming releases such as Paramount’s World War Z and Sony Pictures’ White House Down.
