The Stanley Cup Final.

[Whaddapie]

If you haven't watched the first 2 games, start watching... It's been frickin' amazing hockey.

Game 1 went to TRIPLE overtime. Bruins should have won comfortably, but found a way to lose.

Game 2 went to plain ol' single overtime. Blackhawks should have won it 4-0 by the end of the 1st period, but our goalie was ridiculous, and we won it in the end - Think the Michael Owen FA Cup final, only Chicago dominated more and longer!

Wish I was neutral watching these games - I'd enjoy them a lot more.

Anyhoo... Watch them. And if you don't love hockey afterwards, there's something very, very wrong with you! 🙂

playoff hockey is probably the best playoff sport around (maybe tied with the NFL)

Love watching international competitions, but I couldnt care less about NHL hockey.

 

[Whaddapie]

Best players and teams on the planet, Modo.

yah but my team got a shitty new logo ... I still remember "HULL IS IN THE CREASE!!! THE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS WIN"

 

[Whaddapie]

Last century, wasn't that..? 😉

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I could make a Ray Bourque comment about his Stanley Cups with the mighty Bs last century ... but I won't!

 

[Whaddapie]

2011 champs, amigo - You (as they say over here) do the math...

I used to support Winnipeg back in the day, but I lost interest when they moved.
I'm still a fan of the sport but I just can't watch NHL hockey with same interest I have in football.

Meh, winning in the 1990s was far tougher ... The Wings, Hasek, Lemieux, Jagr, Lindros, LeClair, Brodeur / Holik / Devils etc ... it's so easy now the Stars just don't even bother making the playoffs! 😉

14 years ago today man ... fucking ay, where has time gone? Did I ever you D that my sophomore roomie in Uni was a Buffalo resident and Sabres (not to mention Bills) fan? Boy oh boy, did we go on about this!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Fucking hell ... hullie, Verbeek, Carbonneau, Eddie the Eagle, Mo, WOW ... I miss that team.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

FUCKING.INCREDIBLE.GAME

6-5 in OT ...

The best Stanley Cup in years.

Boston are the Man Utd of NHL.

I stopped caring after the Canucks went out.

 

[Whaddapie]

Are they FUCK! Where do you come up with that bollox?

 

[StevieM]

Fans of every other team I've met - which is quote a few

 

[LeTallecWiz]

WOW ... fucking wow

 

[Whaddapie]

Fans of every other team I've met - which is quote a few

Well they're wrong, mate. Detroit or Pittsburg would be far more apt for that tag... Or maybe even Montreal.

 

[Whaddapie]

Just looked at the salary table for 2013... There are 14 teams with larger payrolls than we have. Didn't expect it to n\be that many, to be honest.

Actually, I don't know that there is a scum-type team in the NHL... There certainly is in ALL the other US sports, but there really hasn't been one all-conquering team in Hockey over the past 20 years.

 

[StevieM]

I'm not talking about money - just that everyone thinks Boston are a pack of cunts.

Only Boston fans tend to disagree with that.

 

[Whaddapie]

That is an utter load of bollocks. This Stanley Cup finals contained two of the most well liked teams amoung neutrals in recent times... I couldn't find you anybody outside of Montreal or now maybe Vancouver that hates Boston like that... Complete nonsense.

The Patriots, definetly. The Red Sox & Celtic, perhaps. The Bruins? Absolutely not.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

i think all bruins fans i've met are class- b/c i've only met 2-3 (not including whaddapie) ... and overall? NO CLUE! 🙂
