2008 Stanley Cup Finals

[capt dan]

I think future regular season meetings are upcomming according to the wishes of Commissioner Butthead!

The Penns have alot of talent, they need a better coach, someone who can concentrate on the task at hand and leave politics and whining out of the Game. He is making a fool of himself(short task) and embarrassing his fan base!

I think If I hear about how great Crosby is one more time by the media, I am gonna puke! The kid has talent, so do half of the "old men" on th e red wings team, and ALL of the "younsters" on the RW roster.

Difference is, The wings work as a team first. The star potential of the players of the Red Wings is astronomical, But They play as a unit, a well oiled machine. The " Crosby is the best NHL player" crap has just been proven a hoax! The media hype has gotten sickening. What about the rest of the team? The pedestal that they have put this young man on is so far out of his reach,it is actually counterproductive to his performances.

The Penns are a good team, they have shown that in the last too games. They Have run into a " Great Team" at their peak, with a tremendous amount momentum.


Tomorrow, in Hockeytown, The Wings will play their best game!!
Will it be like game one??????????????????????????????????

YOU BROUGHT IT HOME BOY"S, NOW LET"S SHOW THEM WHY!!!

I gotta go with Z on that one. Ozzy has been great but what Zetterberg does out there day in and day out in nothing short of phenomenal.

On edit, to tonights officals, can you just let the guys play?

Clearly the NHL(Bettman)wants Crosby to carry the cup as was demonstrated with the 5 on 3 power play awarded to the Pens at the end of game 4. That PK might have been the defining moment in the series.

I HAVE to thank Sumo for starting this thread. Her exuberance and love for the game is apparent.

Undoubtedly 95% of the folks here are NOT hockey fans. I'd like to thank all of you for putting up with it.

The Stanley Cup is the oldest pro sports trophy in existance. Do a google on it... amazing fun stuff! Gordie Howe and crew pulled over one night after winning it to ..err well, relieve themselves...had to get it out of the car to get out. LEFT it there at the roadside and had to drive 15 miles back to get it!

No trophy exemplifies toughness and sportsmanship, speed and skill, sacrifice and selflessness...like Lord Stanley's Cup.


Thank you Sumo, and regardless of the outcome tonight or whenever...worthy opponents the Pens have been. You have many years of excitement to look forward to in my estimation!

Amen brother!

The time has come. Let the teams play, keep the politics out of it. Penns are desperate, have to win or go home empty handed. Let's see if the calls are evem tonight. I hope they are, my gut says they won't be!

Lookin forward to a good hard fought game. Leetttssss get ready to rummbblllleee!!!

FINISH THE FIGHT, BRING HOME THE CUP!!!

GO WINGS!!!!

[capt dan]

You have got to be kidding! I aint got to polish any armor anymore!

This has turned into the best game of the series. Who said that was gonna happen anyways!

OT # 2 comming up, refs are still making the wrong calls, its the wings against the refs and the penns. They will get it done. I have seen at least 3 non calls on obstruction against the penns and 2 tripping calls too. The goalie interfeirence against the wings.......? yeah right, really a poor call and proof positive of how theis series has gone.Lets end this crap and hand the cup to the truly deserving team!

 

[walking dude]

[capt dan]

another make believe goalie interferance call go figure. This is criminal!

 

[capt dan]

going to the 3rd OT, WTF, I knew this would be a hard fought game, but I didn't think the arctic chickens would last this long!

Its past the bedtime for most of them penn players!

 

[bbqgoddess]

OK! I am going to say this is one of the few times it is a good thing being on the WEST coast!! I can't believe its going into 3rd OT!! This has been the best game of the series!
Come on bring on the squids!!
GO WINGS!!!
