He is probably busy watching the game and celebrating just like everyone else living north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Interesting Stat:
The Wings outshot the Penguins 222-142 in the series or 13.3 more per game. It really all boiled down to Detroit not letting Pittsburgh skate freely across the blue line, while their offense was much more successful controlling the action up ice. It's part of the experience factor which some folks forget when planting their two-lips on young Mr. Crosby's arse and crowing the Penguins champions.
Tomorrow begins Day 1 of our Stanley Cup Defense...but I will try not to think about over the summer. I am all up for a rematch next year!
I think the Leafs actually have 13...
OK, I don't post much to the sports area, but had to sport the new avatar!
I only have one thing to say: Way too close at the end!
Congrats to the Red Wings.. i'm so happy that Pittburgh did not win.
L.A. Kings have got to have a few too. When Gretsky (sp?) was there he grabbed 5 or so no?
Yep, they still count since it is still the same franchise. Heck, I still slip-up and call the Indy Colt the Baltimore Colts, and sometimes refer to the Dallas Stars as the Northstars. Anyway, it's hard to imagine but it has been more than 40 years since the Leafs last skated with the Cup. One of my earliest sports memories is watching the Maple Leafs play in the Stanley Cup with my grandfather.ESPN reported 13 as well, the article I read said 11, hmm, I guess I'll have to go back to the page I had found and count them up !!!
edit:
Toronto has won the Stanley Cup 11 times as the Maple Leafs and twice as another team from Toronto.
The Leafs last win was back in '66-'67

Yep, the Flyers had a great turnaround season...but it's hard not the like the Penguins in the east.Hey Paul,
Congrats on your boys winning the Cup:up. I can't wait for next next season to start. My Flyers went from the worst team in the NHL last year to the conference championship round this year. Maybe, just maybe we can give the Wings a good run.
