What a hockey game!

[dentist90]

Outscored 23-8 in the series, have to admit that the stronger team won the cup. The fans in the arena did us proud. The hoodlums outside? Would have loved to see more video of those dirtbags being tasered.

But nonetheless....

We're #2, We're #2!!!

Cup, probably the Conn Symthe too.
I'll take that bet even though I don't know how to do the avatar thing. When the Canucks win all you'll have to do is change your signature to "I love Gary Bettman" I would never force a man to change his colors, thats mutinous, thats treason, thats just too low in my book, but
You can't skate with us You can't score with us You can stop the puck like us Like I said "slim to none"
Por_sha911, we may not agree on the out come be we have to agree its great to be in the final, hang onto your hat laddie cause its going to be great. Go Canucks

"I love Gary..." under your avatar for 30 days after the Cup is hoisted. Its extreme but you got a deal.

"You can't do this...you can't do that...blah blah blah." The Canucks don't have the heart and determination of champions. Any team that made it this far has the skills. The winners have the mental focus. I won't bring up that your goalie is streaky versus TT's NHL record setting .938 goal against average, Bergeron's face-off wins are almost 10% higher than Kessler (and he has great memories from the VanCouver Olympics), Lucic will feel like he is playing at home in either city, and your top scoring twins didn't show up for how many games? Its all about the mental toughness and like with Tampa, when the Canucks flinch first the Bruins will win. That said, we agree its great to be in the final!...Keep your head up and (as Redd Green would say) keep your stick on the ice!
Its SHOWTIME!

I love it when I get one right. Of course, "even the blind pig finds the corn once in a while". That said, I think that what decided the series was that the B's held tough when down 2-0 and again 3-2 and Lou's lack of focus that lost game 7.

BTW Finn (aka s_morrison57) You are the only one that hasn't yet made good on the bet. Who do you love? I hope you will do the right thing and post it for 30 days from whenever you make the change to your title.

[Por_sha911]

Thanks Tony. As glad as I am that the B's won, some good old fashioned trash talk made it even more fun. Even when we didn't see things the same, it was evident that you know & love the game. Bonne chance for next year and may your team come play against the Bruins at the finals.
p.s. You look good in black and gold!

[flatbutt]

thats a great idea Tony. All kinds of possibilities.

a) because last years captain may not want to trot from east coast to west coast waiting for someone to win game #4.

b) because there might be a fight

c) because Gary B is a douche and loves the limelight.

[Por_sha911]

d) All of the above.

JJ: At least you can take comfort that you were beaten by the team no one else could stop.

Sorry it took me a few days to respond, not only was I sickened by my lose but I was also sick with a malaria re-lapse.
Slim to none, that was sorta putting my foot in my mouth the way things turned out but what did you expect me to say.
Least we had 7 decent games
Did I say that G Bettman was an un-washed fatherless child - NO , I said

I Love Gary Bettman and will on a daily basis for the next month.

I love Gary Bettman

Finn

[Por_sha911]

Finn: Sorry that you are not feeling well. I hope you are better soon. I have no idea what happens when you have a malaria replase is but it doesn't sound like fun.

To change your signature go to User CP. Under the Settings & Options area on the left side click "Edit Signature" Be sure to put it in bold.
If you prefer, you can change the title under your avatar:
Under the Your Profile area click "Edit Your Details" and you'll see a place "Custom User Title"
You still have the option to post a nice logo: There's several of them around here these days.
Don't forget the old motto "there's always next year"

[Por_sha911]

Umm, Finn, do you plan to make good on your bet?

You can revert to your old avatar July 16th .

I am shocked at what the Flyers did. That takes guts. I guess there was a Pronger vs. Richards issue in the dressing room? And Carter? Shocking. I can't see the Flyers being better next year, aside from in goal.

[Por_sha911]

After such a dismall showing in the 2nd round they needed something to say "new and improved". The Wings went into the rebuilding mode after losing the first round one year.

Wow! Hockey fans are nuts! I grew up in middle America - basketball and football made up the whole sports universe. I remember my first hockey game and wondering why everyone left after the third quarter.
I've grown to enjoy hockey, but I'm not such a fan that I would still be arguing about it a week after the season was over. Basically, as soon as Columbus is out of the playoff picture I lose interest in hockey.

That's generally mid-November.

Yeah. Sucks to be a sports fan in Ohio. Browns, Jackets, Cavs, and now Ohio State.
