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!
I'm not a basketball fan...who's playing?
Go Wings!
I’ll predict the Wings in 4........
Get Dish Network!
It beats cable 10,000 to one! No comparison. No TV guide needed, pay per view sports, you can’t beat it.
By the way, I’m from Northern Minnesota. (Up by Warroad and Roseau, home to about half the Olympic Team and several NHL greats, like Henry Boucha, Neil Broutan and Al Hangschleben.
My first collective memnory at the age of 5, was looking down at my feet, seeing a pair of CCM’s and a Northland Pro in my hands, and a Red Dot puck in front of me.
I predict the Pens in June! ;^)
I have DirecTV. Babcock is being interviewed right now on NHL Network. 24/7 hockey!

Some funny, informative and entertaining stuff!
I’m heading out for some beer. Steaks are marinading. My team is in the Stanley Cup Finals!
Life is good!!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
It has gotten a little better, but there’s room for improvement.
NHL was first with using instant replay to call goals. Adding another referee was another good move. Doing away with the two line pass, and cracking down on holding and hooking has opened things up on the ice, making it more exciting offensively.
In a sport as hard and fast as hockey, referees aren’t going to be able to keep up with the athletes. And I’ve has my share of nasty comments about the zebras.
But it’s been a wonderful playoff series this year. I hope more people take the time to watch the Stanley Cup Finals. Hockey is a fantastic sport.
Pittsburgh ad Detroit will be a classic. Mark my words.
True, the NFL could learn a lesson from the NHL in having every video review be done by league officials.
I agree.
If the officials at the rink can’t make a call, there are officials in Toronto at NHL HQ who will make the call, and in a very timely manner.
So a review tonight will be done in Toronto. And it won’t take but a minute.
Very cool!
I’ve got VersusHD on cable.
Condiering how the bulk of all NFL games take place within a 6 hour period of time, it seems kind of antiquated that the NFL does not have instant league review like the NHL does. That’s one for the “garage league.” ;-)
No, I try to stay off of Ping Lists because the I spend too much time online! Thanks anyway. Go Wings!!
Semi Finals:
Quarter Finals:
First Round:
I like the Pens' chances as long as Neil O'Donnell doesn't don the gold & black sweater.
I just want to say that Chris Simpson is really hot. She may not be ERin Andrews but she comes in a close second.

You just knew the Pens were going to get burned when they got caught in that change.
Score should be 2 - 0.
