2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

My final parting comment...the "classy" Detroit fans booing as Sir Sid dragged his leg off the ice said it all about them.

Not cool at ALL!

But they lost. End of story.
 
No. I meant how the young lions beat the proud veteran champions.

It's like when the Oilers beat the Islanders in 1984.

A non-hockey example would be when the Bulls beat the Lakers in 1991 or when the Pistons beat the Celtics in 1988.

Yes and No .....
The Wings are a MUCH younger team than the one that won last year and the previous time as well.

When the Wings came into the playoffs, there were 6 players that were injured and the youngsters came in and did great, almost so well you have to think twice about taking them out when the experienced guys came back.

But if Lidstrom retires, he is getting long in the tooth, they wont be as good IMHO.

In all fairness, the Pens won the cup on their ice, they weren't happy. People don't like Sid because he is the face of the NHL. I hated Gretzky, but I had Mario on my team.
 
Well my local NBC just went dark.
They waited till after the game like they said they would.
Still don't know why they didn't change when the rest of them did last night.

Your kidding ... right.
Lindstom is going no where and will possibly win his 7th award this year.

Nick will be around for another 3-4 years I would think.
I think he's 38-39, Chelios is 47, Nicks got a long time to go at that rate. :)
 
See here's where most don't like Sid and Alex,they get ALL the attention, other teams can play much better , and never get the coverage, it will always go to those two guys.

I rally wish Bettman would retire, he;s the one that started the PUSH the individual player, vs the TEAM aspect.
This isn't the nba
 
You have rabbit ears?????????

No, I use an antenna on the roof, I've been watching the Digital signal for about 8 years now, but wanted to be on the analog side just to see when it went out.

I rescanned this morning and all was well, all channels came in as expected. Consequently, the digital signal I was watching never needed to be rescanned after they went out tonight. I was slightly surprised.

They are both young and will improve and their teams will improve.

Kinda scary thinking how young the core of Penguins players are. Fleury is only 24, been to two Stanley Cups and won one, a goaltender doesn't shine till he's 28 or 29.

Plus we all know Sid, Geno, Staal will also get better. Then and the young offensive defense men we have.

Wings will need to bring in a goalie in a year or two .... other than that they have alot of young guys and I expect a few of the vets to step down.
Chelios and maybe Draper, although, he can come back as far as I'm concerned and Maltby could move on as well ...
How old is Hossa, he may be moving on as well.
Wonder if the Pens would take him back ?
Rumors had possibly LA .....
 

NBA Finals

Ryan Leaf - at least SOMEBODY wants him
