CANADA HOCKEY - (BEGINNING OF TIME-INFINITY)

[dalem]

Oh man, I drop by NHL.com to check the score and Detroit's jumping up and down on the Stars' scrotum with both skates.

4-1 at the end of the second, 3 pf 'em pp goals, which means Dallas is not disciplined tonight.

It's killing me to not be able to watch Detroit's most dominating finals run in years. GO OZZIE!

-dale

[Mobbme]

Wow, now this is a series, the pens and flyers are in the first period and already 2-2 WHOOOOOOOO!!!!

GO FLYERS GO!!!!

[dalem]

Again, go Ozzie. Go Wings!

-dale

[Mobbme]

Will we see two sweeps in the conferance finals??!!! What happened to competition??!!! Well, i've given up on Dallas, but hopefully Mike Richards from philli and his supporting cast haven't given up, go Flyers go

[Desdemona]

Go flyers, go?

U got to be kidding me. At least the Pens are owned by hockey great and Canadian, M A R I O! To top it off he is a genuine gentleman.

Here we go,,,,,,,,,,Let's go Pens!

I love Mario, and I see shades of him through Malkin. But I just can't stand Crosby! Maybe later on, when he matures a little i'll start to have a soft spot for him, but for now i'd like to see someone knock his socks off or atleast drop the gloves with him. Mike Richards is more of my kind of player, I'd love to see him in a leafs jersey, but I doubt he'll ever leave; they're already calling him Mr. Bobby Clarke.

It looks to be a classic finals, the young guns vs the old timers
Pens vs Wings

[Desdemona]

What's not to like about Crosby? Young and talented. Off the ice he does so many charitable things from hospital visits to golf outings, to autographs in the middle of dinners.... Livin only 50 minutes from pittsb- we love him. Funny the announcers here often slip and call him Cindy when calling a game.

Yeap, I think you got the Cup lineup right. Go P E N S.....

[Mobbme]

Desdemona, just for you me lady, GO PENS GO!!! Arhm, I mean Go Staal, Go Malkin, Go Laraque!!

Un bon jeu d'hockey ne connaît aucune frontière mais en effet les Canadiens multiplient quelques joueurs, entraîneurs, et propriétaires impressionnants. Mon ami, merci pour votre soutien de Pittsburgh Penquins à la recherche pour la tasse de Stanely. Disparaissent les stylos…

In English: A good game of hockey knows no borders but indeed the Canadians breed some awesome players, coaches, and owners. My friend, thanks for your supporting the Pittsburgh Penquins in the quest for the Stanely Cup. Go Pens...


Sadly, I speak little French and did the translation thing to repect the native language of Canada and by the way--just love your national anthem. I've gone to Pens games when they are playing the Leafs just because it is a bonus to hear it live.

Sadly, I speak little French and did the translation thing to repect the native language of Canada and by the way--just love your national anthem. I've gone to Pens games when they are playing the Leafs just because it is a bonus to hear it live.

Thats a fine post, and cheers for that! I'll be honest, listening to the US anthem always gets me emotional and riled up, I don't know why, but it has that effect on me. So i'm assuming it's a lock, detroit and pittsburgh are up 3-0 respectively, and theres no way a team like Dallas or Philli can come bck against those teams, so get ready for a great finals!

I try to go to games when Canadian teams are in town just to hear the Canadian anthem.
