2008 Stanley Cup Finals

[sumosmoke]

Since SMF has a pretty good hockey following, I thought I'd launch the Stanley Cup Finals thread. My beloved Pittsburgh Penguins butchered the Flyers 6-0 and are on their way to the Finals for the first time since 1992. One of the few things my husband and I agree on are the Penguins so we are both ecstatic, to say the least!!

Hope the Western conference is wrapped up soon. That's starting to get a little too close for comfort!

Go Pens!!

Was just looking for the final. Seen it 3-0. Wooo... good for the Pengies. Malkin/Crosby are a force to be reckoned with.

I'm still reckoning Datsuyk and Zetterberg are the guys to do it ;{)

Have to wait till at least Monday to find out however.

We been here too many times to count on anything, however.

Rich, I'll be watching wearing a crimson tide t-shirt as that's the only thing in my wardrobe that's red

. Hope you guys can get this thing done so we can get into a great finals!

 

[desertlites]

LOL Ken.I saw that comming!

 

[sumosmoke]

Ken - I wasn't sure .... uh

... WILL ONE OF YOU TWO TEAMS FINISH THIS THING UP???

 

[starsfaninco]

we're working as hard as we can now that we got our legs back...

 

[capt dan]

No problem, we'll get er done tomorrow night! Think the mule is about to turn into a workhorse!

Dallas already is the 153rd team to turn a 3-0 deficit into a 3-2 series. Only five have been able to force a deciding game and only two teams have come all the way back to win the series.

I like our odds!

 

[sumosmoke]

I'll definitely be watching to scope out our competition. It's going to be a rough, hard series regardless who we play.

Didn't get to see much of Saturdays game so looking forward to tonight. Gotta give the Stars credit for not mailing it in when down 3-0.

Congrats to the Pens!

 

[sumosmoke]

Good luck to both teams tonight! Should be a helluva game!

 

[richtee]

A- aan- aant---aantici- aanticip- ANTICIPATION!

 

[sumosmoke]

Hang in there Rich - don't bite all those fingernails off!

 

[richtee]

But the rub flavor they have is exquisite!

 

[starsfaninco]

I'm starting to believe in the power of 33. 33 yrs between the first two, now 33 years since the last one. 1 game at a time though.

To the Wings fans, Good luck tonight. Hope for a good showing from both teams.

looks like franzen is still out for tonight!

I think some changes in their line-up will make a big difference. I am willing to bet that tonights game will be another dandy!, maybe an overtime or two!

 

[starsfaninco]

Another possible change is Chelios might be out. Babcock said in todays press interview. Plus he might be splitting up Datsyuk and Zetterberg. I'll see if I can find a link but it was on Freep.com

 

[capt dan]

Man, the NBC coverage and picture was sweet on sat, this VS telecast is like watching from the upper deck!

Keep goin wings!

 

[capt dan]

2 more periods to go, I aint relaxin yet!

 

[starsfaninco]

Wow, what a period. Wings look like they're everywhere. I even counted at one point to see if there were too many men. Hope I can come back at the end of the second and say WOW what a comeback!!!.

yeesh

 

[capt dan]

I think I don't need to worry about any OT. Still waitin to see Ott get his. How sweet that would be!

Keep Chargin WINGS!!!
