Congrats to the Pens!

Being a Stars homer, it was good to see Billy Guerin skate the cup. We asked him to do WAY too much when he was here. The role he plays in Pitt is perfect for him!

Haha sorry guys, just a little hockey fact. I wasn't even born yet, so its a little easier for me to deal with :-)

This is true Tom, but it is also true that Fluery made a lot of saves in the third period on shots that I thought were going in. He was the difference in this game to me. The horrible attempt at playing the trap that the Pens started playing in the second and almost the entire third resulted in chance after chance after chance. I saw more then a few saves that bailed them out. As I posted in the third right before Det scored. I said they were going to score and they did. It was only a matter of time. The reason they didnt score more was largely Fluery. :-) Well that and that damn crossbar got in the way.

All things said this series was largely who got the breaks on bounces etc. So many of those games were decided by bounces and luck going one teams way or another. In the end the Pens pulled it out, but I dont think anyone here can say that the Wings couldnt and possibly shouldnt have won the series.


Well now I get to look forward to another flame out by the sharks next year. Maybe one day they will get some heart and soul players like other teams have.

Hell of a game.

I must say I'm crestfallen for my mighty Wings. But I give props to the better team this year, Congrats Penguins fans. You guys earned it :-)


We'll get 'em next year guys :-)

Holy $h*t that was an awesome game...congrats to the Pens!!!

That was exactly my point!

It was a good game. The Pens played much better than some of the previous games. As I have said before, other than my wife wanting the Pens to win (who, by the way I kept out on the deck with me enjoying a real nice 12 year old Tawny Port until shortly beforethe only Wings goal :-) !), I really had no favorite in this series. But, I must say that I thought that the Wings played a better series (just my :-)). However, just like in so many sports (and some areas of life) it comes right down to the buzzer, and what has happened before doesn't matter.

Sorry to the Wings fans, and congrats to the Penguins!

:-)

Think Max Talbot has a little hangover today? :-) :-)

If you would have read a little farther this what I wrote

"Yes I was kidding It was all in good fun. Had a great time this playoff season chatting with all of you. Time is coming for football season!!"

So before jumping off the deep you should have read that first but obviously you didn't. Maybe you should have kept to your thoughts of not posting on this thread.

I apologize for that just had to get it off my chest!!

Debate ideas if you want. Personal insults will not be ignored.

Not o.k.
This is o.k.

I apologize Peter. I know I shouldn't have wrote that just a little tempered about that

:-)



Could a mod. please delete this post?:-)

Ease up on the personal insults guys. Theres no need for it here.

Another years has come to an end...congrats to the pens!!! Can't wait untill next year...the draft should be interesting too.

Wonder if you guys will get the #1 Pick. I know hes trying to work a trade.
I am a closet Leafs fan. more days then not you can find me wearing a Leafs or Marlies hat.

I hope you just didn't imply i'm a Leaf's fan:-):-)

rofl mybad. Didnt read location.
oooooOOO and
Go Leafs Go!

Class? How about how Crosby didn't even shake Lidstrom's hand. Captain to captain, Sid should have shown the respect. Lidstrom is one of the most respected defensmen and captains in the league. Sid the Kid is just that...still a kid.

.......with a STANLEY CUP!!!!! :-):-):-)

He didn't shake his hand? :-) Link me.

I missed that, what happened?
