Poor Don Cherry, he gets no respect!!!!!
Anyone who wears those suits MUST have a set!!!!

I was listening and listening and then I went deaf ... was that chant "Let's go Red Wings" or was it "Let's go Dead Wings"???

 

[sumosmoke]

Just heard the first two games will be broadcast on VS and the rest of the games are on NBC. Wish all of it was on NBC as I've found VS stinks!!!

 

[diesel fanatic]

It could be worse ... FOX could broadcast it again, with the glowing puck!!

I hope the predictions from here continue to do what they have been doing!

After a week of withdrawl from zero hockey games I'm ready for the Finals to begin tomorrow night!!!! May the best team win and let's hope for one of the best Finals between two very different, yet talented, teams!

GO PENS!!

This series looks to be a dandy alright. Franzen cleared to practice so he may play at some point. 2 blue collar cities cheering there respective teams on. Love it and can't wait!

So true, the Lions have been rebuilding since 1954. Im thinking of putting the Lions on Ebay. Just to give Ford an idea what someone is willing to pay for them. He could use the money to rebuild the car co.

Wings in 6 and it they are going to be great games.

Go Wings, Cindy Crosby is going to grow up real fast after this series.

I like it when 2 northern teams play for the Stanley Cup. Hockey just doesn't sound right when its from the south or southwest.

GO WINGS!!!

Don't be bitter .... we beat you guys clean, and senseless ...

 

[diesel fanatic]

Sort of like NASCAR running in New Hampshire or Michigan, just doesn't sound right ... but watching on TV, looks like the fans up there love it. Just like southern fans loving hockey ... kick butt action sport ... maybe not sound right, but we love it.

 

[flyboys]

Hahahaha, To be honest with you, I was kind of hoping you guys were going to win, cause I would rather see Detroit mop up the ice with the Penguins rather than the Flyers.

 

[richtee]

Interesting rationale, that. I guess it's an implied Wings vote? Guess I'd never thought I'd see the day a "Broad Street Bullies" fan says "Noo..don't hurt me!"

 

[sumosmoke]

Less than 12 hours till the puck drops. The anticipation is as thick as creoste-filled smoke ...

Red Wings fans - here's to a great series!!

Pens fans (which are in the minority in this thread) - it's been a great ride regardless how it ends up. We're playing a team so rich in hockey tradition it's a great feat to be sharing the ice with them.

Cheers to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals!!

 

[flyboys]

Yes, my vote would be a Wings vote. However, I should have explained that in my rationale, we have too many injuries to contend. No one expected them to make it as far as they did, especially after finishing dead last last season. However, a healthy Flyers team will terrorize and beat up any team in the league!! That's why I love Philadelphia!!

less than an hr and my LIIT( long island iced tea) mix is a lil short, gotta run and grab me another bottle. Long night in front of the tube, Tigers baseball, pistons basketball, Nascar huge race, 600 miler, and the biggest event, the stanley cup finals. WOW! Starting my Q in the am at 5 will be a small challenge at best!

Glad my thumb has healed from mothers day slicing!

 

[sumosmoke]

Get the drink on Capt - I'm getting mine on! Really excited to see the squid hit the ice, heard about the tradition and am anxious to see it live!

The sports press is psyched about this matchup!!! Hope the series lives up to the hype!

 

[richtee]

Wha..huh..Oh OK.. took a lil nappy...heh! HERE WE GO...hang on!
