Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins!

Two great teams who have earned the chance to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup!

There are a multitude of stories on the NHL website - http://www.nhl.com/

And on the Red Wings website - http://redwings.nhl.com/

And on the Penguins website - http://penguins.nhl.com/

This promises to be one of the greatest series in NHL history! Something for those who don't usually watch!

So spread the word, and do your part to recruit a new fan or two!

Sorry for the typo...but not as sorry as Fleury will be after the game tomorrow night! Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good goalie, for a Leastern conference goalie!! Nabby, Ozzy, and Turco are just better.

Osborne is very good. Even though he was backing up Hasek at the beginning.

Turco was extremely beatable in the Detroit series.

Keep your eyes on the Pittsburgh special teams, especially the PK.

And their defense. Crazy, young players, willing to give up their bodies to block shots. Wiley veterans who can turn a defensive trap into an odd man rush in a heartbeat.

BEWARE THE PENGUINS!

Aren’t you a tad early?

[airborne]

Not at all! The puck drops in less than 24 hours!

[SouthTexas]

LOL, well we usually start the Nascar threads on Wednesday (for a race on Sunday).

Stars are my favorite, 2nd is the Red Wings.

[airborne]

Come tomorrow, I'll be too busy to start a thread.

And since I am a certified hockey fanatic, and there hasn't been a game since Monday, I'm chomping at the bit to get this thing started!

[SouthTexas]

I really wish it started tonight!

[airborne]

DirecTV has NHL Network on right now. Media day interviews.

Chris Osgood and Nick Lidstrom at the mic.

[SouthTexas]

I have cable. :(

[Hot Tabasco]

They better hurry and finish this series because next year’s season starts in two weeks.

Thats funny because its so close to the truth........if it goes the full 7 games then its almost footbal preseason too.......

[Hot Tabasco]

a hockey player will take 20 stiches to the face and return to play in the game!!

Yea, and if given their choice, most of them wouldn't play with helmets either....

[airborne]

Bummer! You’re missing some informative interviews.

I’m in the woods, so there’s no cable here.

[Hot Tabasco]

Would you like to be on the hockey ping list?

If you got any room left, put me on it...... :)

My sister and bro-in-law have season tickets....2 four rows up from the ice where the zamboni comes in and 2 more in an upper level......they stopped asking me to attend games because I hate going downtown and turn them down every time......

[SouthTexas]

I do have the Speed channel, Sprint cars right now and VS, which has been hockey central! :)

[airborne]

It’s a long list, but there’s room for you!

I keep it on display on my profile page.
