Jen and/or Sparks -
Don't either of you remember 1991 - 92? Back-to- back Cups for Pittsburgh.
Remember Bob Johnson, coach for the first one; then he died of a brain tumor and Scotty Bowman took over and they won again. Then Scotty moved on to Detroit.
I do remember - I was just getting interested in hockey. I was in 6th grade I think, or something like that. That was exciting.....I also remember the one playoff game that went into something like 4 overtimes.....didn't end until 2am!! :eek:Quote:

Just turned 29! :eek:Quote:

and MAN... what is Bettman on? he wants high scoring games. NOTHING to me is more exciting than the last 2 minutes of a one goal or a tie game :D
I hate sweeps.....
GO 7th GAME!
:):)
Well, they didn't have two close together goals, but the Pens DID win.....so I ned to get lots of sleep between now and Saturday to see what I dream next!! :D Shawn asked me to try to dream about the lottery next :p
That was a much better game, the Pens actually showed up to play! I hope it stays exciting from here on out :)
Jen, I agree. Everyone on the Pens played together and did their job last night, and we had GREAT fan support, which helps a lot. Uh, Jen? could you dream me a winning number, too?Quote:

Sorry guys....all I dreamed about last night was that I left Ty at my SIL's house and then couldn't find him :eek: let's hope THAT'S not a prediction! hmm maybe I should take a nap and see if I have any more luck....:DQuote:

West coast is set. Go Eastern Conference.

THe post game trophy award was so sad- Here they give KB the credit for being such a team player and all around good guy.....sheesh.:rolleyes:
I felt badly for Mitch Kupchak- He had to put up with all the BS from the jerk before the season, had his leadership qualities questioned and had to put up with the trade demands from the 'MVP'......
Well no dreams about hockey...although I DID dream that we got an alarm system installed and the combination was 3237.....sooo I'm wondering if I should go play those numbers!! :D

=======================================
Well, Mr. Stern got what he wanted, the Lakers and Celtics are now in the Finals. I sure hope he is happy - :rolleyes: - even the comercials during the season had this match up, kinda makes me wonder if some Ref's were not in someones, um, pockets. (??)
BTW- did he ever voice an opinion on who he wanted to actually win??!!

WINGS 2 - PENS 1
I do hope that Therrien is done whining. That 2nd penalty in the 3rd, that gave the Pens a 5 on 3, was so bogus. However, the Swedes took care of things. That penalty kill was a thing of beauty.
And I also hope that that adoration of Saint Sid comes to an end soon - it grows tiresome as the games go on.
Loved the frantic finish!
We want 7 games.
--------------
For those interested in the chant you'll hear for games 3,4,5 of the NBA playoffs.
A fast food company offers free tacos to the fans in attendance if the Lakers win, score over 100 and hold the oppostion to under 100 points.
The chant, "We want tacos" is just as annoying as "MVP", during the game.:rolleyes:

Possibly you are stating that Stern has no specific favorite?
Close....
It's the team with the numbers 1,5,10,20,50,100 on the jerseys.
MONEY!
Look at the commercials, endorsements and other ways the NBA will make money!
WINGS 3 - PENS 3 after 80 minutes of playing time.
Not sure how much longer I can last. It was warm here today, so it's warm inside the JLA. Good thing those guys are in good shape http://bestsmileys.com/sports2/4.gif
OMG is this an INCREDIBLE game or WHAT.
Other than a game 7 with OT what better could you possibly ask for in the finals.
WOW AWESOME
wow, you have to love it!
I want a game 7.......
I'm with ya Richard!WOW what a game! I ended up laying in bed and listening to the 2nd and 3rd OT, so I was (sort of) awake for Sykora's goal. The Flower was amazing....oh just such an exciting game. And a pretty pass from Malkin, finally a point for him! Maybe that will break him of his slump.....Anyone in Pittsburgh see the Big Four lottery number yesterday?
7171
:D ;)
I admit, I am only a half-hearted Red Wings (or even Hockey) fan, and have not watched the series as closely as most...but what a game last night!
Hey, I'm with both of you! That was the most exciting playoff game in recent memory. Malkin, I think, is now over his slump and this will give him a big boost. Bring on game seven!!Quote:

I don't have a dog in this fight, I just want to see good, hard fought games, good plays and heart.
Get hit in the face with a puck? I am going home crying! ;)
That was ballsy.
I bet the sound of the puck hitting the post is one you'll hear in your dreams for a long time.
Predict the game winning goal?
You do that in a street game when you are a kid.:)
"I didn't mean to hit him in the face with my stick!"
The last time a stick cost a team the Cup it was in the hands of Marty McSorley!
I really hate to watch sports at night because I look at the clock and think about all the poor people on the Right Coast who are looking at their clocks thinking about going to sleep!
-----------
So, If they played game 5 last night, it went to almost 6 periods of hawkey.
Does that count for a game 5 AND 6?:confused:
--------
I had to laugh at the post game interviews.....
ALmost everyone had an accent! Combine that with the Lakers -they have Turiaf, Radmanovic, Sasha and Gasol. These guys are coming into the U.S. and taking away jobs from the citizens!;)
(P.S. I do like the Lakers, I don't care for KB)
Beat LA....Beat LA....Beat LA....
Whoa...the 70's and 80's are coming back to me.
Go Celtics!
:D
If you put it that way....Quote:

Grace,
You may want to change those smileys.....They have been playing to a tie all morning!

Today was Gary Bettman's birthday!
What a great b-day present!
Good Hawkey for him and the fans!

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

From the Detroit News -
http://cmsimg.detnews.com/apps/pbcsi...H=350&noborder
Classy, classy people in Pittsburgh - sticking around for the presentation of the Conn Smythe Trophy (Henrik Zetterberg) and the Cup to Nicklas Lidstrom.
Your time will come - and it will be soon.
Grace, Pittsburgh fans are like no other fans. We like to win, but we know how to lose graciously. The Pens put up a fight, but Detriot was a better team. Hats off to Detroit and you're right, the Penguins next time will be soon!
Loved the quote that went something like- "The cup weighs 35 pounds, nothing as you hoist if over your head".
Great series and how close was that last play?
I jumped out of my chair and was screaming!
-------------
Rolling down Imperial highway, With a big nasty red head at my side,
Santa Ana winds blowing hot from the north, We were born to ride!:D:cool:
EYE :love: El Lay......but not kobe.
Hokay, I want a 7 game series, who wins will win.
---------
I was blown away by this topic on ESPN radio.
Bill Plascke is a sports writer for the El Lay Times. He wrote a piece that questioned Paul Pierce's injury and miraculous healing. From what I understand he wasn't harsh about it, he just had questions.
The host of the show was talking about the hate mail the BP got.
One was from a fan from back east that wrote about his feelings, then threatened to find out where the writer's relatives were buried and having their bones dug up!
I thought, "you must be kidding!". The writer contacted the fan and the fan told him that he had to watch all the Boston games ny himself because of the way he acted during the game!
I don't mind a good rivalry, but have to question the attitide from the fans. I have been in a few places where a game has been on the tube. I yell for good plays and really don't care who wins-I just want to be entertained.
People cannot understand why someone would cheer for both teams.
I really don't care who wins the series. But, I cannot believe that anyone would be that rabid about a stupid game.:eek::rolleyes:
I am TRYING to watch the playoffs and I am so distracted by all of the cheering. It is so darn distracting. Guess I should go back to my knitting.:o
