The Sabres are that other team that I quietly have mutual respect for.

Sorry Chaz, but I can't say the same for you guys. I used to kinda like the Pens, but I'm still really bitter towards Crosby.
Very, very bitter...

The LEAFS just signed Jonas Gustavsson to a two year extension!

GO OILERS...shit.

Is it November yet?

Let's go Hawks! Break the Hossa curse, but in a good way!

You still don't have a pony in this race, unless you're cheering on the Leafs to birdie.

This Caps/Canadiens game is nuts, ready for an epic overtime. It's starting on VS soon.

I'm late to this party.

Cheering for the Canucks and if they get knocked out the Capitals just to see how nuts Ovechkin will go when he wins it.

Its funny because if Ovechkin was Canadian, he would be Cherry's favorite player of all time by far. He plays the exact game that Cherry loves.

Except that Ovechkin doesn't back check or block shots. He may be one of the best pure offense players in the game right now, but Cherry prefers grinders who never give up no matter how often people have given up on them.

Except Ovechkin plays like a grinder. He just has talent too.

Don Cherry is right. Hockey players should not be trying to draw attention to themselves. That kind of behavior is just not acceptable.

People take Don Cherry's idiocy seriously? He's like the Glenn Beck of hockey...

I'm not wild about Ovechkin's celebrations either, but it's not like they're a total affront to the sport.

The look on Rollie Pollie Bruce's face made me cum.

I went 2-2 in the East and 3-1 in the West, not bad.

My schadenfreudeness is now so large it has its own satellites. Oh I can't wait for tomorrow, if Ovie hits a reporter after losing in the Olympics what will he do after this!

Ohh those tears taste so good Ovie!

Note for next year; average players playing as a team beat superstars playing by themselves every single time. See Superbowl XXVI for reference on what to do right.

I thought Ovi looked pretty good tonight, actually. Maybe he was trying to do too much, but I can't really blame him when a couple of their other 'stars' were nowhere around. It was Semin and Green disappearing that really killed Washington.

On the plus(?) side, it really seems that leaving Green off the Canadian Olympic team was the right choice, and not just because they won gold with the roster they had. He can't score against teams that are committed to defense, and he was the one who got beat on the second Montreal goal.

Go wings , yay for Washington losing, now maybe Montreal can beat Pittsburg and make this a perfect off-season.

Semen is a half-rate player who always disappoints during playoffs. Yes, I think it's funny how he called Crosby a mediocre player and himself is a no show come playoffs.

Ain't gonna happen. Unlike the Craps, Pittsburgh doesn't depend completely on Crosby. Pinching him off won't work like it did for Grape Ape, especially since Sid can puck handle about a million times better. Only thing I'm worried about is Fleury. I really hope he steps it up and stones the Habs.

Ow wow, they just showed the players positions on the winning goal.

True dat. Definitely sounded like I picture you.

Ouch, and the Habs learn what it's like to play against real Champions.

Champions shouldn't gloat when they take out other team's best player's knee.

1. Habs played a Game 7 less than 48 hours before this game. WHY? The other Eastern series had teams who didn't play in more than 5 days. The league could have scheduled the 2nd round better so that a team wouldn't have been gassed and on top of that Game 2 plays in less than 48 hours again. This is bullshit. NHL loves Pittsburgh much? I think so.

2. Chris Fucking Lee. Shitty calls all night due to Evelki "Air Dive" Malkin, "roughing" penalties on players who go after a little fucken bitch who ran after a cheapshot on our star player. Drop the fucken gloves, you fucken puke.

3. Cooke taking Markov out of the series with a dangerous hit. No penalties and no suspension to be coming. How many star players can a player take out before he's held accountable? This guy will get stabbed in Montreal. I bet it wouldn't have been the same if it was O'Byrne taking out Crosby in a similar hit. Right now, I want Lapierre to take Crosby out of the series with a knee on knee if we go down because of this. Gutless puke. Dishonorable motherfucking assholes.

And you guys STILL didn't take us out of the game from all the Refs grandstanding.

PS: Your crowd fucken sucks. It's sad Washington had a more interested crowd. No wonder this team has many issues staying in this city. If it wasn't for sucking a few years on purpose a few years back and getting yourself star players left and right due to first round picks (a system they were forced to change BTW, thanks to "ThePitts"burg) this team would have been called the Las Vegas Penguins or the Hamilton Penguins today. Shitty city. And they aren't TOP 10 in the league for sellouts... with all those talent? Pathetic. We'll have this conversation in 5 years when all your players are gone and the fickle fans don't attend games and once again Mr. Lemieux is on the news "trying to sell the team to other cities" lol

Quit the bitchin. If your team had finished the series in 5 games you would have had the long break too, the schedule is mapped out before the series are set and have been that way for YEARS! This isn't the damned NBA and their 3 week long first round.

Naw this year was set up poorly, the wings had only 1 day off between game 7 and game 1, and only 1 day in between every game. They should have set it up so there was at least a tad more rest. Also even if Pittsburgh wins 20 straight Stanley cups Crosby is still a bitch.

What now motherfuckers? HABS WIN.

And we didn't even get all the freebies on the calls in the 3rd neither. News Flash! Crosby is still a little bitch. I hate they when close up the camera on him. He's alwayyyyyyyyys bitching and whining. Now that the Habs could actually REST for more than a night, let's see how much of a champion them Pens are in Game 3... which I'll be standing by in the Reds sections. I'll make sure to use my umbrella so that I don't get any Crosby tears on me.

As for you Sparhock, I don't give a shit about how it's been done in the past. I care about how it works now. It should be less about appeasing Mr. Buttman and more appeasing REAL hockey fans who don't need to watch hockey on Sunday afternoons. Break your shitty contract with NBC and put it on a real sports network and cater to your real fans and think about the quality on the ice. At one point, they showed what are the "afternoon" stats for both goalies and Halak played only 7 games... to Fleury's 58. Fucken Sad. PS: From what I read, they did an afternoon game because there's some kind of graduation ceremony tonight in the Lemon arena. Talk about having fucked up priorities.

1. No team gets a break from a game 7 series game. 2. If you're going to start blaming refs then the Capitals should have won 1st round. 3. Cooke completed a perfectly legal hit. 4.Penguins are contracted to stay in Pittsburgh for at least 30 years. 5. Pittsburgh has educated fans unlike the yokels in Washington,which is why we don't get fired up at every whistle unless there's a reason to.

Why the Pens lost in Game 2:

Jordan Staal out. Mismanaged lines (Malkin skating around like an ogre). Too fancy in the offensive zone. Didn't capitalize on the powerplay.

That out of the way. Montreal had a fluke goal and a lucky breakaway. You did not dominate the game. Bottom line, Pens played slightly laxed and the Habs got lucky.

Aww you think all series are won based on skill and luck, I tell you right now a power goalie and some lucky breaks and a series can take a nasty turn. I would give the wings as an example this year, but they haven't been exactly dominating and our goalie is the great trampoline of rebounds. But previous years I have seen goalies stand on their head when we out shoot them 3-1 and out scoring chance them by the same number.

But honestly the best play of the post season is when the Andy Sutton destroyed your guy.

Fluke goal and a lucky breakaway? What the fuck is that drivel? A lucky breakaway? Did Cooke get a lucky breakaway too? Yo, man up FFS. Crosby's pass was intercepted and a tape to tape pass sprung Cammy who sniped one top shelf on Fleury. Being able to bat a PUCK with a stick into the net is no fluke. I bet if Crosby did it though you'd probably be swinging off chandeliers proclaiming it to be the goal of the year. I can take good comebacks but don't give me that drivel. Jordan is hurt? Boohoo. He's chicken shit compared to Markov.

PS: Love how Adams didn't get suspended on that hit. I bet if that was Lapierre on Crosby though, Lapierre would have been out of the playoffs for sure. Fucken double standards for the darlings of the league.



Anyways, watch game 3 and listen to the sound of real fans (PS : I'll be in attendance in the Reds).

Hey Crono, love that save from your goalie last night, that was a highlight reel of the year FOR SURE.

Jay: Ya but he has been so horrible with rebounds that it really means he has to glove save it or they have at least another 30 shots on him.

Chaz, are you seriously going to use Staal's injury to justify a loss at the same time as you're gloating about beating the Sens? Might want to think that one through, assuming you're meaning that the Pens are the better team.

Just a thought.

Game one, correct.

Pens are the better team. They had an off night. I'm not worried. Game 5 or 6 and we move on to bigger and better opponents.

Wings lose to go down 3 games to 0.
Tigers lose a second straight game to the team they're chasing in their division.
Ernie Harwell dies.

Tonight was a Detroit sports trifecta of suck.


They just don't look like they have it this year...you can't tense up and play not to lose with a 1 goal lead.

.

I love how all those wacky French Canadians shut the fuck up after Malkin's goal and the empty netter.


Looks like Fleury's back on the ball again. STONED BITCHES!

With the rate the second round is currently going, the Hawks-Canucks series may go on a week longer than everything else.

I bet you sweated seeing your team only muster a single goal against a #16 seed playing without its best player.

- I loved how Crosby holds onto Hal Gill's stick and pretends to be held up. The darling of the league gets his way again.

- I love how Crosby covers his face in one of his two spectacular dive when he got only nudged from behind. That stick must have had some serious penetration power.

- 2 "I would have called them every game during the season" slashes from behind not get called, one of who by... GUESS WHO.... Crosby!

LAST NIGHT, ANOTHER DIVE FROM CROSBY




Guess who had to kill penalties? We did. That wasn't a call? Comon you puke admit it, your fucken star player is a little bitch. Malkin should have been in the box, he dropped his gloves (AN AUTOMATIC 2 MINUTES FOR ANYONE NOT IN PITTSBURG) to fight someone who couldn't even fight back cause he was held by someone else and still had his gloves. Did I also mention Malkin did that to Gionta? The smallest player in the league? BAAAWWLLLLS! Oh, did you notice Crosby's slash on Gorges in this play? Or are you as oblivious as you sound?






Oh and guess who was in house last night? Gary Buttman. Yeah..... Crosby Sucks. I bet you heard that loud on clear on your shitty American TV... "FRIED CHICCCCCKENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" what THE fuckkkkk do you guys listen to

DIVES
DIVES
DIVES

You're worse at crying over NHL conspiracies than the bandwagon Capitals fans. Hal Gill wacked him across the back of the head.

Notice that ALL your diving videos are from when he was 18 years old and his rookie season. The dude doesn't bitch or dive at all anymore than every other player. You want to talk about someone, why don't we chat about your prospective PK Subban magically stomping on Jordan Staals foot and lacerating his tendon and the same thing occurring to Matt Cooke in the next game (he had to get his skates relaced).

Throughout that whole game I was calling out slashes, highsticks, and crosschecks on the Habs. Why don't you take off your Homer goggles before you go chanting conspiracy. The Habs are lucky to even be in the second round (which is due to largely to a shotty no goal call).

ROFL.... of course I'm worse! Is that the direction you wanna go, insulting my lore of the game? Sure, let's go in that direction, insult me and not what is being said, it just proves things I already thought about you.

1. First, Hal Gill was already in the penalty box from another Crosby fake play (please read posts). Notice that high stick hurt on Crosby that hurt SOOOOO much that he got up instantaneously (after slashing the Gorges, without a call, of course, please check the fucken video sir) when Gorges skated up to him and said and I quote, "Get up, stop acting." Did you notice the pain go straight out the window? From "ME GOTS AN OWIE...WAAAH" holding his face like a little bitch to doing that slash and getting into the scrum. Is that what he was fishing? A 5 on 3? What a little puke.

2. You state he doesn't dive anymore.... funny... whenever I see him play he seems to do it ALL the time when he's playing against Montreal. I remember him specifically doing it twice last season. Do you really want me to show you more videos? Look, he goes down faster than a 2 dollar whore. What? Are you going to say he's being competitive? Bah, he can do this in other ways, stop fucken falling down and stop asking for special treatment. In Montreal, he's highly regarded due to his skill and the games always sell out first but we talk about his antics for days after he comes here. Generally, not in the positive light. He dives, he embellishes and uses his platinum star status to earn him power plays. You ask other team reporters and they ALL say the same thing. In this playoff series alone, he dove a handful of times already, broke his stick on the opponents net (with Halak being 2 feet away) throwing his stick in the corner (no call, of course) and whenever he's on the tube, he's bitching and whining scrunching his beardless face.

3. Indeed, you got that right. PK Subban's goal is to go out there and try to take out 3rd string players by stomping on their feet. Comon. Please get fucken over yourself. Cooke whining about that is a total :





Stall's injury was a fluke with a bump at the blue line trying to fight for a puck. There's nothing more to it than that. Or should I say, he can't bodycheck worth a damn?



4. Throughout the game, eh? Did you also call that slash from Crosby on Gorges? Or does that not enter your definition of a penalty? Tell me even that much. Either way you'll lose in my eyes. The DARLING of the league simply got his way. You guys scored. If you were anything buts a Pens fan you'd understand but to me it's about the equivalent to talking to a mule, all I hear are EEEEEEEE and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHs. Can't reason with that type of short-sightedness.

5. Shotty no call? Surely, you mean shoddy. It wasn't shoddy. YAWN. Interference is interference. There was contact on the goalie before Ovechkin took his shot. LET IT GO. You know what's shoddy? Pens tossing the last game of the season a year or two back so that they can play against a heavily injured Ottawa in the first round. Care to discuss that?

:kev:

That 2010 Stanley Cup locker room hat is going to look good with another Pens logo on it.


*Man funny how fast Habs fans forgot about Sid's winning goal for the gold in the Olympics. I didn't hear any French Canadian's bitching about his "diving" and "whining" then...

Just proves that if he was playing for the Habs, you'd all be fanning his balls after each game.

Lots of Canucks fans/coaches/players bitching about Dustin Byfuglien's play last night...classless?

What are they bitching about? That Byfuglien got lucky? That their own goaling was giving up rebounds like he was a great big trampoline? That their defense was letting Chicago own their end of the ice?

Sparhawk said:

Mostly that where he plays and what he does is illegal and should be constant goalie interference. The only goal where I can see an argument is the third, and both Hawks were mostly pushed into Luongo.

That's kinda what I thought they might be bitching about, but he's outside the crease, last goal was just a scrum that wouldn't have happened if Vancouver was playing better defense. I'm kinda pulling for Vancouver in the series, but they were just outplayed last night.

The biased officiating tonight wasn't enough to put the Habs away.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! *looks at ref* WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Gets a PP.

Man, you are such a Homer.

I was not really caring who won the Pitt/Mon series, now I'm kinda pulling for the Penguins just so that I can hear Jay cry foul

I Pens were playing great until the 3rd. I'm still fucking pissed at Letang's fat ass.

Oh well it'll be over in Game 6. And I'll enjoy the wind being knocked out of that place when it happens. Jay was wondering why Pens fans don't jeer. We have class unlike you whiny frog bitches, who boo for a penalty every time your pussy-boys get a check thrown on them or flop on the ice like a dead fish.

If anything the Habs got away with a shit-ton of obstruction penalties. Max Talbot was practically date raped on several occasions. Two fluke goals to boot. If it wasn't for Halak that score would have been 6-3.

I know sour grapes and all but don't use language like that.

No sour grapes. The Pens blew a 1 goal lead on their own. They'll win the series in Game 6.

Leave racist comments out of your posts. Display some class that you claim Pens fans have. There was no need for that.

I'm very proud of the Montreal Canadiens right now. Their genitals are huge and they're rubbing them all over Crosby's face. We'll see about in 6, up from 4.. up from 5. Next up... perhaps in 7? Best series of 3 now.

Ends in Game 6. Can't wait to see all of Habs nation hang their heads in shame.

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE! Detroit is outa here! Usually won't pull for the Sharks, but ANYBODY over Detroit is a good thing.

Eh wasn't their year, rookie goalie rarely lead teams to the Cup. They put up a decent fight especially since they barely made it to the playoffs, can be happy to have gotten as far as they did.

wow. Good games tonight.

yessssssssss Game 7 is the best thing in all of hockey history.

Habs can thank the ref for blowing the whistle early and killing that goal on Halak, and later sleeping and not blowing the whistle on a blatant icing which pushed the momentum in the Habs favor.

That said. I'm totally pissed about the way the Pens are playing. Gologoski needs to fucking go. He's a lumbering jackass who's lack of production on the powerplay and full strength is really hurting the Pens.

Fleury needs to step it up. He gets beat on any and every single shot breakaway that comes at him.

I want to call up Disco Dan and tell him to tell his wingers that if they're going to center up the puck, make fucking sure you're passing to a someone in center and not to the three Canadians hanging out in front of the net.

I really think the best way to produce anything on Halak is to create traffic in front of the net and shoot from the blue line. Gonchar and Letang need to do more shooting and less passing. Everytime they've shot from downtown it's gone in. Crosby, Staal, Malkin, and Cooke can pick up rebounds like nobody's business. The Pens have been playing dump, chase, and center this whole series. It doesn't fucking work. EVERY rebound has been picked off by the three Habs players that line around Halak like a fucking love cocoon.

I wish Malkin would sniper shoot more than try and fumble the puck around.

I love sports fan rage.

Bruce Boudreau does not have triple chin. Or if he does I'm in shit.

The pens/habs battle has been great, hrow a BBQ invite the peeps and fucking enjoy it.

Anyone else think Van is just gonna choke? or do they have Chi figured out...

I'm a bit late, but: Terry Gregson and last nights officials watched Chi's 5th goal on video after the game and easily determined it should not have counted. (re: Game 4).

Chicago seems to be making a lot of contact with Luongo without it being "interference".

Well that was as good as the Hawks have played in a while. Keep it up, boys.

I will never watch the NHL. The NHL KILLS PEOPLE!!

Come back time! Nails are being bitten!

<shakes Jay's hand>

Well played sir, well played.

Great season for the Pens. We'll bring the Cup back to Pittsburgh in 2011.

Great series! Habs just wanted it more. We were a top 5 man-game lost team all season with all our injuries and after an off-season of blowing up the team. They seem to be gelling and coming together as a team. This feels surreal, considering I had no aspirations of them making the playoffs halfway into the season.



Halak outplayed Fleury and Montreal shut down Malkin and Crosby, two of the greatest players in the game. Cammy redefined what it meant to have an office out on the ice. Gionta was taken down time after time but didn't care and kept scoring.

Right now Philly is ahead of Boston 2-0. I don't care who we face but I would love for Philly to win tonight and force a 7th game. That would give Halak, Markov, Gill, Hamrlik and Pleks an extra two days rest. That could be a huge factor when it's all said and done.

Not that it's a given they'll win, but the Western Conference winner is going to be a HUUUUGE favorite in the Cup Finals.

Habs will take that challenge to the bank.

Not even a thought yet. Hawks-Sharks is going to be a good one.

Tonight we shall see if the Boston Bruins can cap off a collapse not seen since the days of the 1975 Penguins.

Well it the Flyers win it will be 7 v 8 in the East and 1 v 2 in the West. And based on Bostons newly found lethargic offence, the Flyers will most likely win.

What goalie is playing for the Flyers anyway? Some call up tonight or have the other two healed enough to play?

I think Leighton is in goal tonight. Boucher is out for the season with a pulled MCL.

Even if the Cryers pull it off tonight, there is NO way in hell they're going to rock past the Hab's defense. The Capitals and the Penguins both bent the Flyers over during the regular season, and they got bested by Montreal.

I hope...

I won't be able to go to work anymore if the Flyers win the cup.

Then go flyers, I don't want any Boston team doing good in anything, though Philly usually chokes so I doubt they will win the cup.

Flyers win game 7 after being down 3-0 in the game.
Crazy.

.

ow, what the hell, Boston? I don't have TV and CBC only puts the Canadian teams' games online, so I couldn't do more than check the score. Checked during the first period, 3-0 Boston. come back later and check the score and the Philly's won 4-3? Seriously?

Good lord.


So I'm cheering for the Habs in the East and San Jose in the West, although a Chicago vs Montreal final would probably be more interesting and I'm sure is what way more people want since its an original six matchup. I just don't want to see Chicago go any further (I like Toews, but I hate Buffy).

checkeredhat said:

Click to expand...

I just want to say this. FUCK THE ORIGINAL SIX. I'm tired of their fans claiming they are the only teams that matter. As a fan of a young team, I say fuck them. The league has grown past where it was in 1966, most of you weren't even around then, The league has grown and become more popular, deal with it.

Read the history. The "Original Six" was a clique to keep outsiders out of the league and to keep certain teams up at the expense of others. At one point Red Wings owner James Norris owned or controlled The Wings, Black Hawks, Rangers *and* Bruins, all at the same time.

Bruins are massive fail. I can't believe they lost 4 STRAIGHT after being up 3-0 in the series.... worst of all up 3-0 after the first period last night. The score.... REFLECTED THE SERIES.

1942 dead wings remain the only team to lose a championship series after leading 3 games to 0, choking the cup away to Toronto.

No time to be bitter about the Pens loss. It's now the Habs' sacred duty to kick the Flyers' teeth in.

I still can't believe the Game 7 score reflected EXACTLY how the series went.

UNBELIEVABLE.

Ummmm... go Sharks? I guess?

I always feel bad for the Sharks. They are, without a doubt, the best team in the SF Bay Area right now out of all sports. Yet they get almost no love or attention from people and/or media around here. It's better right now because they've gone so far in the playoffs, but 90% of the time they are largely ignored here. Typically you will find an article about their games on page 3-4 of the local sports section, while our football teams (even the dismal Raiders) get front page treatment during their offseason. I just don't think hockey is a big part of the culture around here, certainly not like it is in other parts of the country.

Wow, what a game. I think Niemi really stole that one.

Wow, this is just embarassing. WAKE UP, Montreal!

I have nothing positive to say about that game. Pathetic across the board.

Phily wanted it more, so much more.

Man, Montreal is playing far better than they did on Sunday, but they're still getting destroyed. Not enough traffic infront of the net, and they're too afraid to hit those much larger Flyers.

Philly is playing good hockey, Montreal isn't keeping up. I wouldn't mind Montreal losing if they were atleast playing, but honestly this is just making for some pretty boring games.

I'm from New York City actually. I work in Philly, and I hate this city with every fiber in my being. So please don't assume that I'm an asshole because I live in Philly suburbs. It's the equivalent of someone asking if Montreal is the same as Calgary.


Good job on the win. This is still the battle of the most obnoxious fanbases...

As for crying over the slashed tires. Every Penguins' away game I go to at Wachovia Center I end up getting shit thrown at me and try to avoid idiots wanting to brawl. I know to take the subway into the city for games. I like how opposing teams can actually take their children to Mellon arena without getting hassled, which is why a 3hour drive to Pittsburgh is much more enjoyable than an 1 hour ride to Philly for me. I take my nephew to a game Pens vs Flyers on occasion, and we usually have to take along a couple buddies since I get harassed even though I have a kid with me. Only time I snapped at a douchebag was when he threw a hotdog and it hit my nephew in the head. It's nice to see an asshole get carted out by security and waste his money on a 50-200 dollar ticket. People need to do their homework before attending away games at Philadelphia sports arenas. The fans are assholes; it's not going to change.

Don't get me started on Eagles and Phillies games. No fucking class.

Remember Phillies fans are the ones who boo'd Bud Selig when he was presenting them with them with the commissioners trophy for winning the world series.

Flyers fans are just as bad, what's worse is when they come out of the woodwork at Hurricane games. Many of the same fans who are your typical polite hurricane fan turn into gigantic jackasses in Flyers sweaters when they come to town.

I'm not going to be like so many people and write them off though, They've already had two crazy comeback series so far this playoffs, so we'll see what they do. But if they keep playing like they did in periods 2 and 3 today they don't have a chance.

Definitely rooting for the Blackhawks. Go Kane!

I step away from the game during the first intermission tied at 1. I come back a moment later and it's 3-1 Flyers? OH COME THE FUCK ON!

It's official. the Hockey Gods hate Pittsburgh this year.

Man, fuck the Flyers. Philadelphia is a fucking hole, and the fans are raging douchebags.

After mulling it over, I've decided to cheer for Chicago and Toews. I hope Buffy can play a clean game and still get results though, cause he makes me feel dirty for cheering on the Blackhawks.

I'm rooting for the blackhawks. Why? Well their not the Flyers for one.

Yep.

Terrible defense, couldn't buy a call, no offense from the Toews-Kane-Byfuglien line, and they won? Thank goodness they didn't pull this against the Sharks or Canucks (more than twice, at least).

Niemi stole one tonight, although the Hawks were controlling play the first 40.

Not over yet by any means, but feel a lot better up 2-0 than anything else at this point.

Both teams played better than in game 1, and both goalies were solid walls last night. Amazing performances from both Leighton and Niemi. Niemi, in that last minute and a half when the Flyers decided to go 6 on 5, was incredible. The Flyers were just not giving him a break and he kept turning them away. It was awesome.

Man, I was really hoping this wouldn't go to overtime. I've got work in the morning.

Also, I just feel it needs to be said, Bettman's an ass.

Philly is on the ropes, go for the knockout Chicago!!! Can't see the damn games though, television is partly broken so no picture but I've got sound at least.

That Chicago celebration song is kinda addicting too.

Well, that was fun. One more to erase 50 years of suck!

Best part about if the Blackhawks take the cup? IT MAKES TORONTO THE TEAM WITH THE LONGEST CUP DROUGHT! FUCK YOU LEAFS!

In th elast series, I saw Byuflien make some rather nasty plays, and he was the sole reason I was initially hoping it wouldn't be Chicago in the finals.

But last night, I saw why Chicago fans like the guy. Good lord! He's a beast! Some massive hits, getting under Pronger's skin, and checking in with two goals and two assists. Geez.

Blackhawks started to let things get away from them a bit there in the third, but if they can keep up the momentum like that first period, Wednesday night will definitely be the Stanley Cup game.

On the other hand, Philly's so good at these desperate comebacks its scary. were Chicago playing any other team last night, I'd have been comfortable going to bed when it was 5-2. They're going to come out in full force Wednesday night. It is going to be an interesting game, for sure.

This is why my brother-in-law and dad are cheering for Philly.

Sorry, can't hear you over all the piles of money surrounding the ACC.

Chris Pronger is a badass. I'm still rooting for the Blackhawks though.

Yeah, it's still a pretty gay goal horn song. The Flyers (as much as I hate them) have a pretty badass one. I actually think the Pens one is really lame.



And yes, I'm aware of the irony that the Flyer's song title is the Bro Hymn by Pennywise.

More than anything, it's because every time it's played the Philly fans get sad.

So many people seem to hate on this song, and on the band. I think its because all anyone ever plays is the "Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo da doo doo doo..." part, and those people aren't aware that this band actually writes and performs music. Because the Fratellis are friggin' awesome.

...Or were, apparently they broke up.

What I sincerely don't get, is why they always play "I'm Shippin' Up To Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys. They are aware they are not in Boston, right?

So pumped for tonight. This can only end in disappointment.

20 more minutes! C'mon!!

HOLY BALLS this is intense.

Chicago wins!!!

Man, the Philly fans actually shut up for a minute!

Chicago wins, thank GOD!

Shitty goal though. Where the fuck was "red light" Leighton during the Habs series?

YES!!!

Damn, Hossa finally has a Cup. WTG Chicago!!

Finished with Kane and Toews. Hossa caught a raw deal, he was awesome in the series.

WTF are you doing in here? Get out there and PARTY!

As predicted: Flyer's fans boo Toews as he wins the Conn Smithe and hoists the Stanley Cup. No class to the end. Congrats to the Blackhawks. All is right with the world.

Yeah, that pissed me off. Bbut to be honest I'm impressed with the number of them who are actually bothering to stay and watch as Chicago skates the Cup around. Shows some respect.

I knew they were going to boo Buttman, but there's a fine line when you do it to the winners. You don't have to cheer wildly but a nice golf clap is expected. Sore losers. I hate Philly fans so much.

Well, wake me up when the new season starts, cause summer sports bore the crap out of me.

Fine! "Flamboyant" goal horn song. Happy?

No, it's pretty gay. The word has more than one definition to it. It applies here. Flamboyant! Gay! Fruity! Harden up boy!
