Stanley Cup Finals Chat - Red Wings vs Penguins

Real happy for Bylsma, Boucher, and Garon. Also, Malkin is now the first Russian player ever to win the Conn Smythe and only the 4th non-Canadian. Maybe guys like Don Cherry will take notice. Crosby's the youngest captain to win the cup. Nice to see Mario raising the cup once again.

Finally, I need to point out that this is the happiest I've ever been after a team has won a cup. I can't even begin to imagine what a Kings championship would feel like.

Lol, totally forgot that Stuart was a first class fail boat tonight. Stupid slash on Malkin, and the vintage Stuart turnover right in front of the net for Talbot.

Don't forget about his ill-timed pinch which allowed Talbot to go on the 2 on 1 on the second goal.

What a great Game 7. That was easily the most excited I have been for any hockey game not involving the Kings or Ontario Reign. Sweaty palms, heart racing... I was loving it the whole way through. Detroit losing and Marian Hossa being beaten by his old team made it even better.

THERE IS A GOD.


Congrats to the Penguins. What a ****ing game!!!

Loss, Crosby's snub leave Red Wings with bitter taste

Yeah, maybe if you guys weren't in such a hurray to get off the ice, Sid would have had a chance to get out of the media frenzy/celebration to shake Lidstrom's hand. I seem to remember the Pens extending you that courtesy last year. After all, he had no reason to only snub Lidstrom. Talk about sour grapes. This is what happens to players and fans when they aren't used to losing.

Personally my dislike of Malkin is growing and I was hoping MAF would've gotten the Smythe. Anyway, it was nice to see Bylsma, Garon, and Boucher lift the cup. Congrats Pens.

Yeah that irritates me, he was getting pulled by NBC/CBC to get interviews along with getting mobbed by his teammates, and might have been a bit late to the handshake line.

Sounds like sour grapes on Draper's part.
