Thread Name: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup
LOL Sandy. But maybe you should give a brief description of Frenchy's as I don't think you will find their stores out side the Atlantic (or should I say the Maritimes)Provinces.

I feel like getting on a plane and heading out to Harbor Grace. I'm sure the party will go on for a while yet. The Wings were truly a great team to watch and even though there will probably be a few retirements taking place they will still be a club to contend with next year. I'm not predicting a Cup but they will still have a great season and fans in the Eastern Division will still say"Ya, but the Western Devision is not as tough and the Wings won't be able to match the hard hitting clubs of the East". Those fans that say this (and there are still a lot of them around.)better wake up because this game has become a skating game since the rule change of a few years ago. If these changes had been made sooner we would have had Yzerman, Lemieux, Bourque,and other greats playing a lot longer. But goons shortened their season.

All in all, the Penguins have a dynamic team and if Lemieux can keep this great bunch of fellows together the cup should be heading their way for a number of years.

It's been fun and thanks to all who has been participating. You know who you are. Surprisingly this thread and those before (on Hockey) have a lot to be proud of. Sure some comments can get under our skin but compared to some of the threads that are posted this has to be one of the most civil of them all.
Until next season, have a great summer. I will keep my eye on this thread until it goes off.

I also like the idea of starting a separate thread on hockey when the Playoffs begin. Like the above title as well for the Playoff section. It's like a new season once it begins.
