Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 28 Apr 08 - 01:22 AM Wow!! Dallas is mauling the Sharks! The Pens seem to be having an easy time with the Rangers! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Apr 08 - 09:22 AM [groan] I taped the wrong channel for the Pens game. Saw most of it, but wanted to see it again with Hardi..... oh well.... Saw most of the Stars game too, and woke up to ESPN highlights. GO STARS! GO PENS!~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Fred Shero Date: 28 Apr 08 - 11:22 PM Yo Double Tee... them Philly guys booted your boy Carey Price onto the bench tonight. Now, Marty Biron... there's a class goalie on a roll... (at least on this glorious night!!) < Sorry about the Bruins (grin)! With the goal-tending of Carey Price, the rugged defence, and the lightning-fast forwards, I can see the Canadians going a long way. VIVE LES CANADIENS! >> |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 29 Apr 08 - 08:15 PM Now I have to tell you this. I was visiting a friend today(That is at least I thought he was a friend until he showed me the door.)and after we finished talking about the price of tea in China I was leaving when I noticed on a side table the headline in the Montreal paper saying something about the Canadians loosing. So I pointed this out to "topical tom" and said what is this. He quickly said *^&%+@8*#%^@ GET OUT. So with my shoes not even tied I dove for the door nearly tripping on the outside steps and ran for the car. This man is insane I told myself. I better make a call to the Psy. Hospital as I still have connection in the admitting department. Well, when I got home and told my wife about it she said to relax that maybe he will call and agree with me that the Canadians' are finished (Of course she didn't really say this as she is a strong Canadian supporter, but that is what it sounded like.). I'm thinking of going back over soon with my Red Wing Jacket and Cap on just to provoke him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 29 Apr 08 - 10:39 PM LOLOLOL..... BTW, Pens: Thankyouverymuch..... Wings are up on the Avs already, Dallas ate the Sharks. Hockey heaven.... it's like being just at the perfect level of "buzz" at the bar after exactly the right number of exactly the right mixed cocktails chilled exactly right. Smooooth...... ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 29 Apr 08 - 11:38 PM YES.....Great game. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 30 Apr 08 - 11:05 AM WOW - what an exciting game Pavel, Zetti, Ozzi and the rest of the guys are takin' it to 'em; however, one of these days I've got to learn to relax, get off the edge of the seat, reduce the level of ear-splitting yells and comments and lower my heart rate. Another good game coming up tonight, too - Stars and Sharks, and Dallas may just wrap their's up. But, damn, the Wings play on Thursday and I've got a show to do - it's o.k., though, cause if they win it'll be great, and if they lose, well, I'll get to see them on Saturday. GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Apr 08 - 11:10 AM We had to crash before the Wings game ended-- what was it like? Here's a little league-wide update: EAST Conference Semi-Finals Canadiens (#1) vs. Flyers (#6) Gm Result 1: MON 4, PHI 3 (F-OT) 2: PHI 4, MON 2 (F) 3: PHI 3, MON 2 (F) 4: Apr. 30 @PHI, 7:00 PM EST 5: May 3 @MON, 7:00 PM EST 6: May 4 @PHI, 7:00 PM EST 7: May 6 @MON, 7:00 PM EST Philadelphia Leads Series 2-1 Penguins (#2) vs. Rangers (#5) Gm Result 1: PIT 5, NYR 4 (F) 2: PIT 2, NYR 0 (F) 3: PIT 5, NYR 3 (F) 4: May 1 @NYR, 7:00 PM EST 5: May 4 @PIT, 2:00 PM EST 6: May 5 @NYR, 7:00 PM EST 7: May 7 @PIT, 12:00 PM EST Pittsburgh Leads Series 3-0 WEST Conference Semi-Finals Red Wings (#1) vs. Avalanche (#6) Gm Result 1: DET 4, COL 3 (F) 2: DET 5, COL 1 (F) 3: DET 4, COL 3 (F) 4: May 1 @COL, 10:00 PM EST 5: May 3 @DET, 1:00 PM EST 6: May 5 @COL, 10:00 PM EST 7: May 7 @DET, 12:00 PM EST Detroit Leads Series 3-0 Sharks (#2) vs. Stars (#5) Gm Result 1: DAL 3, SJ 2 (F-OT) 2: DAL 5, SJ 2 (F) 3: DAL 2, SJ 1 (F-OT) 4: Apr. 30 @DAL, 9:00 PM EST 5: May 2 @SJ, 10:00 PM EST 6: May 4 @DAL, 9:00 PM EST 7: May 6 @SJ, 10:00 PM EST Dallas Leads Series 3-0 ===== I have to admit, I strongly doubted the Pens could do so well against Lundqvist-- a perennial Penguins killer. The NYR are the one team I feared they'd have to play. Also another worrying Pens foible was evident last night: they showed a youthful lack of focus near the end of the first period, when they had a 4 minute PP and lost steam after scoring a PP goal but then failed to pour on the coals for the second 2-minute opportunity just before the period ended. ("Hey, we're up 3-1, what could go wrong?") That came back to bite them in the ass when they failed to hold their lead against a Jaromir Jagr who had been sipping at the fountain of youth during the internission-- I know for a fact IVs to push fluids are hung over hockey players in dressing rooms from time to time, to augment what sports/energy drinks and ammonia caps can do at the bench. Who knows what's in those IVs, really? But then they just schmeared the Rangers anyhow. The Rangers did everything they could, but thank you Ryan Hollweg for playing to type. I will be surprised (and thrilled beyond belief) if the Pens can schmear 'em again tomorrow night, but then.... I also wonder how the heck the Rangers will be able to recover enough, physically, considering the frightening amount of energy they left on the ice last night. Maybe Gary Roberts can give them a health-shake recipe.... but no, he probably won't do that. :~) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: topical tom Date: 30 Apr 08 - 05:56 PM Let me give my account of what happened yesterday. My friend Adrien,(or so I thought), came over to the house.We had a nice visit discussing music, the up-coming Apple Hollow Music Fest, the price of tea in China and the price of coffee in Columbia.Just as he was leaving Adrien saw a headline in the Gazette , "Habs' Rally Falls Short", and he actually had the gall to pass a comment on it!Well, being a fervent Canadians fan, I naturally took umbrage and ripped off on expletive followed by "GET OUT!"Sorry about the expression I used, Adrien, but I just couldn't think of a worse one at the time.However, being a friend, all is forgiven. Adrien, you are more than welcome to come over anytime.Just don't bring the !$%^&*!! Red Wing jacket and cap! (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 30 Apr 08 - 06:06 PM Beer, If my experience with Canadiens fans holds true. They are loud and proud until the Habs leave the playoffs, then all will be forgiven. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Apr 08 - 06:06 PM And they aren't even playing one another. Is this proper Mudcat hockey spirit?!?! GO PENS! GO WINGS! GO HABS! In any order (and font size/color)! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST Date: 30 Apr 08 - 06:19 PM BIG MICK - you are IN! WYSIWYG - you know, I'd love to tell you about the third period, but I get so excited, and so involved that I don't remember anything. I do recall that the ice battle was very intense and the intensity really increased when the Av's made it 4-3; and, I was really pleased to see the guys not fold and get harried; in fact, if anything, they just tightened up and their passing and puck control just got more precise. Forsberg drew a couple of penaltys that gave us the power-play and Osgood was simply outstanding in that I believe he stopped 18 shots-on-goal in the third - he was going in all directions and nothing was getting through. Outstanding game - sorry you missed the end, but there's a Stars game tonight and the Wings play again tomorrow. Cheers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 30 Apr 08 - 06:26 PM If I didn't have darts tonight I'd come over and watch the game with you. Good luck to your Canadians. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Apr 08 - 06:54 PM Why, when I get a case of the Darts, I always reach for..... Darts is a serious disorder that absolutely be cured with the proper medication by mouth, administered correctly, Beer. Guest, thanks for the update. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 01 May 08 - 09:34 AM Oh my, don't look good tom. Don't look good at all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Freddie The Fog Date: 01 May 08 - 10:03 AM I understand that the game listed below was conducted as scheduled. Anybody in a position to post the result with a concise commentary? << Canadiens (#1) vs. Flyers (#6) Gm Result 4: Apr. 30 @PHI, 7:00 PM EST >> |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 01 May 08 - 12:24 PM Numerous summaries are avaialable at team and NHL websites. Other than that, it was classic playoff hockey as far as I'm concerned. :~) ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 01 May 08 - 10:17 PM Our boys faced wily men, several of whom are comtemplating retirement-- just, not tonight. :~) The discovered how to screw up the clustered-sniper pattern; I'm not quite sure how they did it myself, system-wise. Actually I thought the NYR deserved to win the last game, so it did not surpise me that they sucked it up and came out hard and smart. Sunday's rematch will be quite interesting. GO WINGS! Cannot stay up for all of it, sorry, ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: topical tom Date: 01 May 08 - 10:35 PM It's okay, Beer. Now we have them where we want them(i hope...).Say, just in case I lose my wager with Beer, does anyone out there know where I can get some moustache wax? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 02 May 08 - 01:16 PM Yeah, we do too (Pens)..... It really ought to be fated that we play the Habs next, since they booted Therrien. :~) I'll be out of town the next little while and back in time to see the Pens game. Best of luck to everyone! GO HOCKEY! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 02 May 08 - 03:12 PM I wasn't feeling great last nigh so went to bed early. What a great treat to wake up to a 8-2 victory for Detroit. How sweet it is. Go Wings Go |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 02 May 08 - 03:27 PM Go Habs go! Er... Get going Habs! Oh well, may as well get an early start... Go Wings Go!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Big Mick Date: 02 May 08 - 09:08 PM Beer, you have got to see the replay. Zetterberg scored an incredible backhanded goal. You should be able to see it at that link. The Wings were just burying the puck at will. Scored a couple of them shorthanded. RED WINGSGOAll the best, Mick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 03 May 08 - 11:47 AM Big Mick - thanks for the link there. I had to work Thursday night but they did have the game on at the pub. As it turns out, I wore a Red Wing sweater and hat and the pub manager came up and complimented me on my attire - turns out she's a big Wings fan. I didn't get to see much of the game but everytime I looked up the score seemed to change; and, obviously, it left me quite happy. Concerning the Stars, however - that game should never have gone into overtime - officials be damned - end of story. GO RED WINGS!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 04 May 08 - 06:04 AM Thanks Big Mick. I have that site in my favorites and go to it all the time. Well the Phillies did it but the Canadians have a very promising team and next year who knows, maybe a few notches more. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 04 May 08 - 05:17 PM Well Susan. Here's to your team. May they play Detroit in the finals. That would be a heck of a final but were not there yet. Go Penguins, Go Wings" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Ref Date: 04 May 08 - 06:37 PM Went to Philadelphia this weekend to visit relatives,all fierce Flyers partisans. My eight year old nephew wanted to know my allegiance. I pointed out that I'm a Bruins fan to the core and that little pleases me more than seeing Montreal lose. We had a GREAT time last night! Philly v Pittsburgh should be wonderfully entertaining. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 04 May 08 - 10:16 PM Just finished the videotaped game, YAY! Thanks Beer. Bringon Biron! ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 04 May 08 - 10:30 PM Pens and Philly should be entertaining, I think the Pens will win in five but some of the games will be close. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: gnu Date: 05 May 08 - 05:24 AM Go Pengwings!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 05 May 08 - 09:23 AM Sharks are out, so it's Dallas and Wings for the West. Pengwings, I like it.... at our house a nickname for the Pens has been Pengalings (one of the kids coined it at the zoo), but GO PENGWINGS! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 05 May 08 - 11:14 PM Loooongggggg evening without hockey.... Hardi sez this is when the NHL starts weaning us off of it for the summer. I dunno..... still some AHL and ECHL rounds going.... ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 06 May 08 - 12:16 AM I think the break is too long. But I guess its because the series's were so short. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 06 May 08 - 01:14 AM Well, after the four-OT victory for the Stars last night the DFW talk show folk are saying that Dallas will beat Detroit in the Western Conference Finals because they're on a roll and peaking at the right time with all of their "big guns" chipping in to get the job done. Another interesting analysis: the Hockey News Stanley Cup "Final Four Preview" has also given the edge to Dallas because the Red Wings haven't played anyone, they're not tough enough, their front men are not as good as Dallas, Turco is better than Osgood, and the Dallas power play is better than the Red Wings. Hmmm, I was hoping to see the Wings beat the Penguins in the final round, but it seems my guys are supposed to lose - what say you? GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: Beer Date: 06 May 08 - 07:02 AM Tex. What Say's I?? "What a Crock of Shit". Bring Dallas on. Truth be I have no idea how good Dallas is as I haven't seen them play once. However you don't get in the finals being on your ass so I guess anything can happen. But I say Detroit in 5. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 06 May 08 - 08:55 AM Dallas is a very good team, and we love 'em.... and they ARE having a peaktime right now..... but I think Wings in 5 or 6, and 7 would not surprise me. GO PENGWINGS! ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 06 May 08 - 10:06 AM I think the break is too long. But I guess its because the series's were so short. I would bet that the NBC contract has a lot to do with it; they will have wanted to be sure to capture a "marquee" game for the weekend-only rights they bought and ad time they sold. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 06 May 08 - 10:48 PM Pengwings - now there's a refreshing term. GO RED WINGS! Cheers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: wysiwyg Date: 08 May 08 - 04:40 PM Geeze, do I gotta keep poor Lord Stanley on the day's page all by myself?!?! Where ARE you hockey fanatics! Love the Conference Finals primetime-only schedule-- no more late nights from our time zone, some weekend afternoon games outside church hours, and one game per day. Here we go-- Visitors @ Home Arena, Wings first: Thu May 8, 2008 Stars Red Wings 7:30 PM ET Fri May 9, 2008 Flyers Penguins 7:30 PM ET Sat May 10, 2008 Stars Red Wings 7:00 PM ET Sun May 11, 2008 Flyers Penguins 7:30 PM ET Mon May 12, 2008 Red Wings Stars 8:00 PM ET Tue May 13, 2008 Penguins Flyers 7:30 PM ET Wed May 14, 2008 Red Wings Stars 8:00 PM ET Thu May 15, 2008 Penguins Flyers 7:30 PM ET Sat May 17, 2008 Stars Red Wings 1:30 PM ET Sun May 18, 2008 Flyers Penguins 3:00 PM ET Mon May 19, 2008 Red Wings Stars 8:00 PM ET Tue May 20, 2008 Penguins Flyers 7:30 PM ET Wed May 21, 2008 Stars Red Wings 7:30 PM ET Thu May 22, 2008 Flyers Penguins 7:30 PM ET GO PENGWINGS! Love the Stars, but Wings is Wings. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Date: 08 May 08 - 07:46 PM I am picking Pens and Wings for the Final. The Pens are really strong. It should be a great final. Maybe they will win it. |
