Just a heads-up to everyone, you can watch the game free at NHL.com today if you are out of the regional broadcast area.

Here's a link to a bunch of pictures that I took during the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. http://picasaweb.google.com/mpitts/2008StanleyCupFinalsTrip

This is all I think of when I think of Gary Thorne. It gives me chills to this day. Who knew we would be so fortunate, so often after '97?

Don't bother. He will never argue with facts. He ignores them until people are done talking about them then takes a jab at someone/something else. I ask him direct questions over and over and he ignores them. He can't argue his point. He can only throw stones. Like I said earlier, just make something up and use hyperbole. This is more like it: The Penguins are Ku Klux Klan sympathizers.

Actually, Zetterberg and Frazen are tied with Malkin and Crosby. But isn't that what you would expect? I can appreciate that the Pens are a talented, hard-working team.

Of course they are.. They are playing against a team that dominates defensively at even strength and is the least penalized team in the playoffs. That being said, they are still the highest scoring duo through the first five games of the Finals.

You are doing it wrong. Don't use facts; they are too easy to ignore. Just call people names that are based on nothing more than skewed opinion. Like this: Crosby is a communist.

Malkin in the leading scorer in the Finals. I like Malkin. If he could channel his emotions and use them to elevate his game, he could be nearly unstoppable.

I haven't said a single word about Crosby. Not one. You can try to mangle my words to make your point, but take the regular season goals out of the equation and look at the list: 1st on team with 20 playoff takeaways 3rd on team with 53 playoff hits 4th on team with 6 playoff goals T4th on team with 15 playoff points Explain to me how that is not contributing at a high level. Or, instead of defending what you say, you can just try to skew what *I* am saying.

Regarding the ridiculous "welfare" comments that litter this inane thread, here are the facts. Hossa: 1st on team with 40 regular season goals 1st on team with 20 playoff takeaways 3rd on team with 53 playoff hits 4th on team with 6 playoff goals T4th on team with 15 playoff points That sounds like a player that is contributing at a high level on a team filled with stars, as opposed to someone that is sitting on the bench and coasting to a championship. You can keep using your hilarious "welfare" and "socialism" digs. Just understand that when you say it you are incorrect.

Decadent.

I ordered my Lidstrom Reebok Edge from them last year after the Finals. They were awesome. Best price. Fantastic job on the customization. Just like others have said, I would highly recommend them.

Don't bother. The guy is obviously still butthurt about: Losing the '08 Stanley Cup Finals to the Red Wings Losing Hossa to the Red Wings Being down 2-0 in the '09 Stanley Cup Finals to the Red Wings He avoided every direct question I sent him in his ridiculous thread yesterday that was ultimately deleted. All he does is make snide remarks and takes jabs, then ducks under his bridge.

My work from last year.

I bought mine at the JLA during the Finals last year (thinly veiled brag). It was $25.

FAIL

I don't think you could be more wrong. Maltby has been a fixture of championship winning teams for over a decade. Hossa signed a one-year deal. Asking Maltby to give up 18 would be a complete slap in the face to a player that has been loyal and worked hard for a long time. That's not how the Red Wings operate

Since 1997, the Detroit Red Wings have defeated a Joel Quennville coached team en route to a Stanley Cup championship: 1996-97 - Detroit defeats St. Louis 4-2 (Goals 13-12 Wings) 1997-98 - Detroit defeats St. Louis 4-2 (Goals 23-13 Wings) 2001-02 - Detroit defeats St. Louis 4-1 (Goals 14-11 Wings) 2007-08 - Detroit defeats Colorado 4-0 (Goals 21-8 Wings) His overall record in the playoffs against the Red Wings is 5-16, 2-8 at home and 3-8 on the road. Also, Joel Quennville has never coached a team past the conference finals.

Positives Joel Quennville is their coach Blackhawks are the most penalized team in the playoffs No 10PM starts We are the Detroit Red Wings Negatives Possible over-eating at Giordano's, Portillo's and Chicago hot dog stands could cause the Wings to be bloated and slow.

Born in Flint, MI in 1975. I've been a fan since I was eight years old. I live in Atlanta now but I made it back up for Games 1 & 2 of the Finals last year. Greatest weekend of my life!

Don't forget that we are also winning because, according to some Duck fans, the NHL wants the Wings to advance and has influence on the games and their outcome. LOL

LOL. No worries. Breathe! Glad I could help.

It's on NHL Network.
