His final threat was "this thread gets deleted the second Crosby lifts the cup over his head."

Oh the drama. I want drama.

I want bench clearing brawls...
Q-stache screaming over the glass at Claude.
Marchand punching Stalberg thrice with no response from Vik.
I wanna see dressed up as Grapes.
A twitter war between Yummy and Black Label.
Rounder leg humping Pierre McQuire.
Jonesi "rolling his eyes" at on Vine.
Every game must go to triple OT.
I wanna see 97blackack sew a Crosby build-a-bear.
and making out whilst Burke looks on approvingly at the parade.

Because its the cup!

Well, you should be annoyed. Cuz, clearly, Chicago doesn't have one and will ever have one.

That Hawks-LA 4th quarter the other night was fantastic. When Brown fouled out with 2 minutes left I knew Chicago was going to win it. And that goal tending penalty on Quick was the nail in the coffin for the Kings.

Ask srika if he knows what a "puck" is.

And if he tells you "icing" is that stuff that goes on cupcakes, we know he's a true hockey fan.

Well, black label...most media analysts are picking the Bruins in 7. But, are saying it could be a coin flip.

No doubt, the Bruins are the most difficult team Chicago has faced yet.

I have no idea what icing is haha....

hmm... I think it's when they come to a sudden stop using their skates and all the ice comes up and if it goes into someone face it can blind them briefly, thus resulting in the condition known as "icing".

And these same analysts picked the penguins over the bruins so their opinions don't mean much at all. I think the predictions for the bruins mainly come from beating Pitt which no one thought they'd do.

At this point all I hope for is a good series with consistent officiating.

That's not it.

Icing happens between periods when the bring out those special truck thingies that resurface the ice. That's why you don't want to ice the puck, because it gets frozen in and they have to cancel the game.

Let me correct myself...black label...I'm sure you can understand: The Bruins will be the SECOND most difficult team faced by the Hawks after taking on the Kings who have the LeBron-James-Apple-Power of goalies in Quick...who let in ZERO bad goals.

He's going to add to his Conn Smythe trophy case as he will be the first Conn Smythe winner who did not play in the Cup this year.

You sure? There are some in here (no names) who put lots of weight on Power Rankings and then, predictions...especially in the last round against Chicago. *coughs*

I'm going to guess it will take me exactly 1 minute into the game to have a huge dislike for Marchand.

Wish he played for my team.

While not to the levels of Marchand, methinks you may develop the dislike for Shaw and Bolland...but, the over/under is probably 1 game.

Probably that smug smile on Kane more than anything.

But, if it makes you feel better, I'm kinda jealous you guys got Rask for Raycroft and then Seguin and Hammy for Phil the Thrill.


I wish Chicago fleeced a team regularly to pad their roster.

I'd say less than that , the lil ball of hate is no Kane but the kid can play. Best part of the whole pens/b's series? Marchies goal after altercation with cooke.

Although, to a small degree, Chicago did get Stalberg and once of the Black Aces (Hayes) for Versteeg methinks.

But, I liked Versteeg.


Stupid Toronto just totally mis-used that guy. What a waste.
