Are you serious? I stopped paying attention after Game 2 what happened?

[Sursum Corda]

It will be a crap shoot. I really do not like Detroit, but their management has put together good teams the past hand full of years.
OTOH, Detroit, an original 6 team, sucked in the 20th century.
The Pens, an expansion team, has been active lately.

May the best team win.

My favorite hockey picture - Maurice Richard embracing the Stanley Cup --- brusied, battered, welts all over his face -- but he's got THE CUP !!! :)

Okay - buried in the article it is this Friday, June 12th in Detroit, at 8pm. That must mean Central Time?

I thought this was the most recognizable trophy.

So far there have been NO OT games in this series.

Here’s hoping for quintuple OT, and may the best team...er...Pitt.... win.

It's A Great Day for Hockey - June 11 Sam Kasan Jun 11, 2009, 7:31 AM EDT It's a Great Day for Playoff Hockey will be tracking the Penguins' Stanley Cup quest with constant updates throughout the postseason. 10:28 AM: Here is a photo of die hard Penguins fans who are currently serving in Logar, Afghanistan. The crew wakes up each morning at 4 a.m. just to watch the Penguins in action, and they were kind enough to send us their pics. "We just wanted to wish the Pens good luck from Afghanistan for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. GO PENS!" wrote CPT Jordan Settle of Pennsylvania. From left to right: CW2 John Fleshman from North Carolina, CPT Settle and CPT Justin Oshana of Pennsylvania. The men are members of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division halfway through their one-year deployment. The Penguins organization is honored to have their support and wish these brave soldiers the best as they serve and defend our country.

One of the Detroit RedWings lives about 2 miles from me. A couple of years ago (when he played for the New Jersey Devils) he brought the Stanley Cup to a local restaurant.

It was an unplanned visit, but I happened to be there that night, and I got to drink beer out of the Stanley Cup!

Probably one of the most memorable things I have ever done, so I am hoping Detroit wins it this year so I can do it again!!!!

Penguins win Stanley Cup
Bears win Calder Cup

I'm a nervous wreck after the third period,, thought the Red Wings might win.

Congratulations Pittsburgh Penguins
You Earned It!

"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a trimphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.” - General George S. Patton Jr.
