Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 20 May 08 - 08:18 PM Wings in 7 |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 20 May 08 - 10:52 AM Catters gather now, at our place, for the Finals..... ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Big Mick Date: 20 May 08 - 09:34 AM Those dear lads...... they came through for their poor old Uncle Mick. Bless them. Had a little hiccup, but now it is on to All the best, Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 11:08 PM Thanks, Adrien. I think both teams will feel like they are looking in a mirror. Except that the Wings don't have a Roberts, or a Ruutu, or a Laraque. So I think we will eventually have better crease access-- there are only so many minutes Chelios can play. But the Wings will have that wily hockey expertise..... I think I will be buying a lot of blank videotape. But WAAAAAAAHHHHH! No hockey, till SATURDAY?!?!?!?!? Um, back to the ECHL for a coupla days, maybe AHL.... ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 19 May 08 - 11:06 PM Tex! I felt those vibes all the way up here. This should be fun. "Go Wings". |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 19 May 08 - 11:03 PM YES! YES! YES! You know, I have been worried since that second loss to Dallas, but just minutes before the start of tonights game I had a calming feeling come over me that indicated the Wings were going to win tonight - just a feeling, I'm not claiming any sixth sense or anything, now. So, it's on to meet the Pens. I have great respect for Crosby, Maltkin and Hossa - it should be a great series. GO RED WINGS! Cheers - from Hockeytown South. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 19 May 08 - 10:47 PM Trying to look at this whole playoff objectively I do believe that the two best teams have come out on top and lets hope that they both play to their potential. Detroit in 7. and Happy Birthday Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 10:01 PM Guarding OUR crease. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 10:00 PM It WAS a beaut. They certainly deserve to win. D'ya think if they know how much I rooted for 'em they'll be nice and give our Pens home ice? :~) BTW we have our predictions going here at home already. We think that if the Pens can manage to win both of their first two at Mellon, they may stand a chance. And we want Roberts in all 7 games. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 19 May 08 - 09:57 PM Don't know about PalTalk Susan. Must be a cost if it is anything like PayPal. "Z's" goal was a beauty. A little concerned with the number of penalties by McCarty. Maybe he is not use to the new rule changes. \Back to the Third. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 09:07 PM PS maybe we can all get on PalTalk to watch the Finals together. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 09:01 PM Dey're goin', dey're goin'.... 1 Stout and one NA beer down the hatch. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 19 May 08 - 07:56 PM I got three beer in the fridge. Maybe I should run out and get a few more. "Go Wings" |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 19 May 08 - 07:50 PM Well, 12 minutes before the puck drops - give 'em hell boys - GO RED WINGS! BEAT DALLAS! |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 19 May 08 - 03:13 PM GO PENGWINGS! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Ben Franklin Date: 19 May 08 - 02:42 PM (1) Congrats to the Pens and good luck in the Finals... |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 18 May 08 - 06:53 PM Might be. :~) ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 18 May 08 - 05:37 PM I predict the Pens will be in the Cup. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 18 May 08 - 04:01 PM PENS are on! :~) ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 18 May 08 - 03:59 PM Don is on! |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 18 May 08 - 03:38 PM Should have kept my mouth shut. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 17 May 08 - 06:06 PM I don't understand; but, I'm not happy and it stinks! Sure, Dallas has played better since losing three, but the Wings have done a one-eighty in terms of aggressive play and tape to tape puck control. Something has gone wrong and I sure don't know what it is unless it's in the Wings head or their heart. If Dallas eliminates my boys from the cup finals it will be tough to live down here in North Texas for awhile - and it's hot enough already. GO RED WINGS! BEAT DALLAS! Cheers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 17 May 08 - 02:19 PM Oh! That was so close at the end of the first!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 17 May 08 - 06:56 AM I'm working at an auction all day today and will hit the computer as soon as I get home to read the results of this afternoon's game. I visualize a 4/2 victory for the Wings. Truth be I don't care if it is a 1/0 win. Just as long as they put Dallas away. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 17 May 08 - 02:32 AM Big Mick - that Jamers and a pint sounds good. Frankly, I'm a little worried about tomorrow. I've read several articles written by folks who think the Stars are going to do it to the Wings, and, again, if the Wings don't put them away tomorrow then it becomes 3-2 and back to Dallas. Another thing - Turco has gotta win at The Joe sometime and I just hope it's not tomorrow. Logically, I know that the Stars are not the better team, but hey, this is Stanley Cup playoff hockey and a weird bounce or a bad call by some idiot zebra and sure enough you're on the golf course. So here's a tip-o-the-hat to the Wings - GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 08 - 12:36 PM Not surprised Philly took one; surprised it took 'em 3 games to adjust to injuries to their key players. Malkin will still be sent out against Briere now that home ice will give last-change rights to Pens. Five games = happy. Six games = a tad worried. Seven games = expected that. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Big Mick Date: 16 May 08 - 11:04 AM TG, meet me at the corner pub. I need a drink. I just wanted them to sweep the damn Stars. But they will be fine. I am really not all that distraught, but it seems like a good excuse for a jar of the vile dark stuff.....***chuckle***. Anyway, a little Jamers, a pint, and we can talk about how the Fighting Irish are going to do in the fall. And mebbe sing a song or two? |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 16 May 08 - 02:41 AM Yes, I was o.k. with the Stars winning one at home; seems to be catching on, though, as Philly won tonight. I'm just hoping the Wings can wrap this thing up on Saturday. GO WINGS! Cheers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 08 - 09:17 AM Go get'em, Wings. I was glad to see the Stars get one, because we lkinda like them too, but I cannot imagine them storming back from 3 down. Tonight should be fun... GO PENS and don't TOUCH that trophy!!! ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 15 May 08 - 05:47 AM I expect Saturday's game to be good for Detroit fans... >;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 15 May 08 - 12:10 AM Well, Kelly and I were at the game and the Wings were just flat most of the night - there were moments of brilliance, but generally, they just came out flat as if they didn't care. Met some really nice folks at the game, though, some in red and some in green. It's nice to be around folks who can take no quarter and still smile and shake hands after you win or lose. We'll get 'em Saturday - at "The Joe." GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 14 May 08 - 11:01 PM Well Tom we don't win them all. Very enjoyable game this evening even though my (our)Wings lost. Back to the Joe. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: topical tom Date: 14 May 08 - 05:40 PM Let's see. I picked for the Canadians and they lost.I supported Philadelphia and they seem to be losing. I tend to favor the Penguins so it appears that I should be shouting: |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 14 May 08 - 02:33 PM It will be interesting to see who is started and who gets ice time and such tonight and tomorrow night. As I said before... there is a LOT of beer to be sold. BTW, have you noticed the price of chips and pop lately? Well, maybe that's just here in Hockeyville. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 14 May 08 - 09:14 AM Well, we DO have alcohol here too. :~) Ya know that hockey commercial where the new dad bangs in the nursery glass? "Loser! Loser! Best baby in the world!" Yesterday I was just putting up my workout gear at the side of the pool at the end of a 3-hour workout, when suddenly someone was banging on the glass that divides the pool from the lobby. "A hockey fan!" was my first hopeful reaction as I turned to look. But no, it was our purple-clad Bishop and his traveling staff, waving hello! :~) This hockey thing is starting to take over the rest of my life, too. :~) ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 14 May 08 - 07:44 AM Thanks for the up date Gnu. Susan, what a great idea. Don't know if I can transport alcohol across state line though. Semi finals have been very one sided. If your not a Penguin or Red Wing fan then it must be very boring. However if you are a Pen and Wing fan what a final it is shaping up to be. Here is keeping fingers crossed. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 14 May 08 - 07:27 AM Canada will face Norway in Wednesday's quarterfinal. The game can be seen LIVE on TSN/RDS, beginning at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT). In other final eight match-ups, Finland will face the USA, Russia will take on Switzerland and the Czech Republic will battle Sweden. The other cup. In case anyone needs a break. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 13 May 08 - 06:48 PM yA KNOW, WE REALLY OUGHTTA ORGANIZE A mUDCAT gATHERING AT MY HOUSE FOR THE CUP FINAL.... oh crap-- damn capslock! Bring beer, Beer. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 13 May 08 - 08:34 AM WOW! Even Barry Melrose is now saying how good the Red Wings are. Bob Sturm of "The Ticket" said on the post-game show that the Wings simply put on a "clinic" in their 5-2 win. Tomorrow night, win or lose, it will be a thrill to be able to see this team, at this time, in their streak to the Stanley Cup. If you're a hockey fan, this is really good stuff; if you're a Red Winger this is simply special. We'll be at the A2 Center tomorrow night - GO RED WINGS! Cheers |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 13 May 08 - 04:16 AM I expect Saturday's game to be good for Detroit fans too... >;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 12 May 08 - 10:46 PM Tex, I think they were just preparing the ground so the "we lost because of unfairness" seed could take root. Game Wings. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 12 May 08 - 10:31 PM Great game for us Wing fans. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 12 May 08 - 05:49 PM Didn't see the game Tex as I'm not subscribed to the sports station. Maybe I should look into it for next year just for the play offs. I rarely watch television so it really isn't worth spending the money for all those programs. However, it sure would be great to watch the Wings now. I'm going to my sons' house for tonights game. Will probably see what the fuss was all about. "Go Wings Go" |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 12 May 08 - 04:52 PM As a prelude to tonights game let me write that I am so sick and tired of the local media bally-hooing about the Osgood/Ribeiro thing that I just had to turn it off - I hope the Wings kick the dog out of the Stars tonight and beat 'em 6-0. I saw the replay and yes, Osgood stuck his stick out there to interfere with Ribeiro - but he did it blindly - he didn't try to put his eye out; Ribeiro, on the other hand; did a really stupid thing coming across the net with his stick. Was Osgood hurt? Certainly not. Is he a bad actor? Surely he is. Would anyone else carry out a similarly poor acting stint? Probably so. In a rare example of level-headedness the NHL chose to fine both players and basically say, "grow up kids, we got work to do, now get back in there and play." Thank you NHL for not over-penalizing these two clowns. That being said, let me say, "no thank you" to the Dallas media for giving us an all-day rant about the incident and electing to talk and talk and talk and talk about the damned incident - ALL DAY - one program after another. Ya know - there was a 60-minute hockey game played before that incident you bozo's; let's talk about what the Stars need to do to break Detroit's strangle-hold on them, or about how good the Red Wings are and that they could sweep the Stars over the next three days. But ya know - maybe I've got a problem too, for listening to it for most of the day. GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 12 May 08 - 02:41 PM Yes, but what pix do they get in TORONTO? ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 12 May 08 - 02:08 PM I watched a replay of the goal on Coach's corner. its on the CBC.ca website from that day. It was certainly in. |
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 12 May 08 - 09:07 AM PS, the Flyers are so terrified of our power play that THAT is why they have been playing so clean. They're not used to that. :~) ~S~ |
