Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 08 May 08 - 10:25 PM Hm, I kinda doubt it, but then I wasn't sure they'd blow out the Rangers, either. I'm just swooning over the Flyers-fun that comes next. (Get your Batman TV-series BAMs and POWs ready. We're working on the sound effects.) Whatever, it will be a great coupla weeks, eh? Then hopefully the Cup finals. And then it will be over till October. [sniff] The Pens website has a GREAT archived series, "Inside Penguins Hockey," that the local FSN station produced. All 20 episodes arcived for those long, lonely, strangely-warm (hockeyless) days of summer. Player interviews but also, more significantly for us, week by week recaps of the week's highlights and team newsworthy matters, with a voiceover that puts it all in the context of their overall season strategies. A march to the Cup, captured in digital video, we hope. F***in historical, man. :~) Do the Wings have something like that in their site? ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 09 May 08 - 12:35 PM Whoa! Very, very nice game at the Joe last night. My step-son walked out of the house he was so upset - he just could not believe that his mom, a native Texan, was cheering for the Red Wings; then, when the Wings got up to 3-0 in the second period he just couldn't take it anymore and he left. I cheer for two teams - the Detroit Red Wings and the University of Notre Dame - and there is no quarter given, period. I've gone through some down times with the Wings and all the Golden Domers are going through a rough time now; and, you know, somewhere along the way you learn that it's just a game - get excited, spill your beer, get hoarse (unless you're a singer)have a lot of fun but go away knowing that you'll awaken in the morning with folks still dying in Iraq, folks still starving in Africa and the rent has got to be paid. It seems I needed to get this off of my chest, so thanks for the space folks. Oh,...by the way,...GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |

Love love LOVE this imagery! Oh and BTW-- GO PENS! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 10 May 08 - 03:18 AM Well, just got home from a gig with Jed Marum so I did not get to watch any of the Eastern Conference game; BUT, KELLY AND I SCORED TWO TICKETS TODAY FOR GAME #4 - RED WINGS AT THE STARS - for Wednesday, May 14, which just happens to be our anniversary. WOW! GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 11 May 08 - 01:04 PM They don't cancel church services or diocesan conventions, either, but thank God the dead VCR resurrected. :~) We've not been taping Wings, but that could change if needed. Certainly WILL change if Pengwings meet in Cup Final. I tape the local pregame show, the game on whatber network has it that we get, and then back to local for post-game. Total Recorder for NHL Radio works, too, then dbPowerAmp to convert .wav to .mp3. Hockey games on an MP3 player's a kinda fun way to take a long road trip. :~) (I will probably run that for the Final if the Pens are in it, as well as the videotape.) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 11 May 08 - 06:09 PM That was great Gnu. I did one of Tom's songs last night. "Go Wings" |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 11 May 08 - 06:12 PM When I got home from the gig the other night and presented the Game #4 tickets to my wife she just looked at them like they were gold and then she said, "How cool, we get to see the last game of the series." I looked at her and said, "Baby, that would be a sweep,..." and she shot back, "Yeah, I know, isn't it cool?" I'm not sure if she knows something I don't, but if she does, I will certainly accept it. gnu - you're right, I am lucky, very lucky. Oh, yes,...GO RED WINGS! |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Lupul - Date: 11 May 08 - 09:00 PM Carter ----------- SCORE!!!!! and we're tie here in Pittsburgh |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Truth Date: 11 May 08 - 09:49 PM These refs are a joke |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 12 May 08 - 12:50 AM You know, from my viewpoint - which was probably the same as yours, the Crosby "non-goal," in tonight's game was really a goal; I mean, once the puck got up on its side, which it was - it was over the line - totally. As most of you know, I'm a Red Winger, and there is no favorite here, but that was a goal. They must have had visual static or something in Toronto. GO RED WINGS. Cheers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 12 May 08 - 09:06 AM I dunno what cameras they use; in the TV feed slo-mo I thibnk it was clear that the puck was in the air over the line. But I do not know if that is the same footage they see when they review. Whatevr-- every game has bad calls, in every sport. The main thing is to keep scoring. But BIRON knew the truth and it's bound to work on him as he anticipates Game 3. :~) I think they'll be looking to hurt Malkin, if line changes don't let them spring Briere loose from the big guy's shadow. Or win at least one at home and then hurt Malkin in Pittsburgh to keep Briere loose from him. That seems to have been the one thing they could not overcome-- Therrien kept sending Malkin out on every Briere deployment, and Briere couldn't get any room. ~S~ |

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~ |
|
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 - 02:41 PM Yes, but what pix do they get in TORONTO? ~S~ |
|
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: 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: Beer Date: 12 May 08 - 10:31 PM Great game for us Wing fans. |
|
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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. |
