Congrats to the Flyers on their amazing comeback! woo!  Came back from 3 games to none down in the series and from down 3-0 in the game to win the series! And tough loss for the Bruins on a too many men on the ice penalty. ouch.

Epic fail by the Bruins! Props to the Flyers for never quitting, but blowing a 3 game series lead and a 3 goal lead is just...........well sad!

The Blackhawks just finished off the Flyers 4-3 in overtime to take the series 4 games to 2 and to win the Stanley Cup. Not a big Blackhawks fan, but I can't stand Chris Pronger, so good to see him lose.

Yeah, meh, at least Philly didn't win. Not a great year for NHL hockey.

I wish that I could gloat over the Canadians beating the Penguins, but I can't, since the Wings are history as well. I can't say that I am sorry that Cindy Crybaby and company won't be able to defend their Stanley Cup championship from last year, because I'm not. However, I can't help but think that this is an absolutely horrible development for the NHL. All of their hype has been toward Crosby and secondarily, Ovechkin, and with both of those guys gone, I think that it is going to be really, really hard for the NHL to generate much interest with the Final Four teams outside of those teams cities/states. I can say that I am hoping that the Bruins can hold on and beat Philly, and that Chicago beats the Sharks. I'm pretty sure that it has been a long, long time since two Original Six teams faced off in the Stanley Cup finals. |
Also, someone said it wasn't a great year for NHL. Well game six was the highest rated since 74'. I'd say it was a phenonemal year for the NHL. Go BlackHawks! WooHoo!!

Yep. He was definitely a fan favorite during his years here with the Wings. He has a number of choices but I would think he would go in as a North Star since that was when he had his formulative and most of his glory years, although he did have a number of good years for the Wings. Too bad that he never won the Cup.

Ovechkin and the Caps are coming to the D this year. We also get all of the Original Six teams in the D for the first time in years.
And oh by the way, the Tigers were losing 10 to 0 to the Mets and it is now 11 to 6 and they have the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 5th inning. Crap!!!! Damn Ryan Raburn struck out once again.

counting the days till the new season kicks off.. glad to see the Blackhawks won the cup this year though if it wasn't the Caps. With work being a bear.. I've barely had enough time to follow DC baseball, much less the Tigers. I thought about extending my vacation one more day to see Strasburg pitch tomorrow.. but they need me back at work damnit hahah. One of these times I'll get out to the park.

You b*****ds!!! Keep away from Dino!!  God I can remember his rookie years, seeing him out at the old Met with my Dad and my friends, we were maybe about 14-15 years old. People worshipped that guy here. The 80s Stars had some good teams....Neal Broten was another. I can still see scrappy Dino standing in front of the net, getting pushed and shoved and still deflecting the puck in.

Pisser is that the Red Wings are Chicago's opponent when they get to raise the championship banner. Damn league is really trying to renew a rivalry there. As I said above, I'm not really thrilled that the Black Hawks won, but given how much I hate Chris Pronger I guess that I can live with that result.
The Nationals were here in Detroit for 3 last week. The Tigers swept. I only made it to one of the 3 games. I had my nephew's kindergarden graduation on the Tuesday game and the Thursday game was an afternoon game, so we sold the tickets.

we all love Dino and want him hahah. No worries though.. he should..and will I'm sure go in as ..
a Dallas Star hahaha.
damn NHL.. if not for the commish and upper management.. we'd all be talking hockey rather than f**king basketball for the fall, winter, and spring. I do serious think I could run that league better than Bettman. Hockey does NOT belong in Texas, Florida, or Arizona. Simple as that...

yeah... given that one of the few fist fights I've had in my mellow middle age years was with a Flyer fan... I was rooting against Philly as much as for Chicago. It is nice to see the Nats improve.. the Tiger series notwithstanding.. they are playing better ball. I do think this team (within the Strasburg 6 year stay contract-wise) will be a real threat to play into October. I see a lot of the Devil Rays in them.. a lot of young talent.. more on the way.. and for once with this franchise... good upper management.

I cried watching the final seconds of the North Stars last game  , when they were skating off, it was unreal. I still can't believe we lost that team. That was one of the moments I really lost it for sports. The Wild will never be the North Stars for me.

We've been pretty fortunate to not have a major sports team leave Detroit. Although, most of us would be alright with the Lions leaving.  It is hard not to laugh hearing all of the players say how optimistic they are that this team (the Lions) is good enough to make the playoffs this year.
