In sports,when it comes to high drama, not much can compare to a game 7 of a Stanley Cup Final.

Puck drops @ 8:00pm eastern and is airing on ABC

It’s funny to have hockey teams in Florida or Arizona etc…

In my city, all the police that have not worked today are being called in for a shift.

I’m really torn on this one. On the one hand, I have come to detest much of Canada and don’t want to see a team from a homosexual city like Edmonton win anything.

On the other hand, I hate seeing southern teams win the Stanley Cup — especially one like the Panthers and their lame fan base.

Why the hell are they still playing ice hockey in the summer? There should be no ice hockey after the vernal equinox—just as there should be no college football after New Years Day and no major league baseball after Halloween.

Edmonton. It is my team in the finals.
I’m told they might also bring in RCMP to keep order.

Thanks.

I’m not much of a hockey fan, but I’d say go Edmonton. Keep in Canada.

It’s hockey.

The Arizona team left for Utah. Atlanta will get a team in Alpharetta, GA, once the arena is completed.

You forget that Florida and Georgia (Texas too) get a lot of refugees from Blue states and their immigration is killing local politics.

Are the Oilers the ones with that racist black player Evander Kane? If so, I am rooting for Florida.

Kane does play for Edmonton.

He has been injured and has not played in the last 4 games.

I do not know what his status is for tonight.

It’s good that their logo says Florida Panthers or I would have guessed Charlotte, NC. Are they based in any particular city? Obviously I don’t follow hockey.

No more NHL in Arizona. The Phoenix Coyotes are no more.

Evander Kane was scratched from the lineup due to an injury earlier in the series, and the Oilers have gone 3-1 in the finals without him on the ice.

Really got into hockey the last couple of years and this final game should be a doozie! I’m rooting for the Panthers but I have a funny feeling the Oilers will come out on top.

I wish this man was doing the play-by-play, I think he has the quickest mind I’ve seen in a human being, hockey is a very fast moving game. Gary Thorne, for every hockey fan’s enjoyment.
