After the confetti falls, I give due respect to the other team. (When I win it's nice, but not always the case...)

If not for the fact of my ... love of the Penguins, I'd have rooted for her and a city that knows and respects hockey more than most!
Full support to these excellent statements by Dromond. Well said and spot on!

Yea, good thing you didn't quote that nonsense about Flyers.... :)

Well, I think there very well could be a rubber match next year. Main pieces are all still in place. Maybe big question mark is Osgood, but for some reason, he's always question mark, I think he won 2 Cups, and lost one? Pretty successful it seems to me.

As for injuries, I'm sure both teams were banged up. I think only injury that might have changed things is Datysuk missing 1st 4 games. You're talking MVP candidate.

EDIT: "could be" rubber match, not "good be"

I don't know why people hate on Osgood. All he does (for the most part) is win. Granted he's not as flashy as some, but there are a lot worse goalies out there, especially come crunch time.

I know, never understood that. Perception can be strong.

I don't agree either, with the Osgood haters... he seems perfectly up to the task, and one of the best goalies in the league.

Also, Hossa signs a twelve year deal with Chicago... wtf? Twelve years?

Ah, well, at least we know who will lose the Stanley cup finals next year!
(Sorry, couldn't resist... but, if so, heh...)
