    You forget how young some of these guys are when they have their beards for a couple of months!! They are interviewing people about free water, WTF?!?!?!?!?!

    CH 7 has bad announcers, in Maine (not a huge market, so technically should be worse announcers) the reporters and announcers know about the event they are covering and try to ask at least relevant questions. This channel has one guy who asks questions that he shouldn't get punched for, the rest suck at best!

    Is Z really wearing the smythe as a hat? And did Ralf just dig on NJ for having the parade in a parking lot?

    Darren McCarty

    I doubted D-mac would even make it to the big club, yet alone be an impact player scoring goals and making that 4th line so energetic!

    Thank you, Matt

    Matt and Co you guys should take pride in the fact that not only do you have a great site for wings fans, but also other teams fans. Not just during a series or for a game, but guys like Mack Attack and DallasStars came here and return regardless of what their team is doing. Great site!

    Pavel Datsyuk

    How can some one so graceful and coordinated on his skates be so awkward and uncoordinated off of skates? This dude is awesome, he became my fav wing this year and I am getting a Datsyuk jersey.

    Preds' Boots sued for fraud

    Ok so tell me what is the lesser of two evils: Option A: A guy that wants to move a team, that is struggling in a poor market to stay a float and was coasting the old owner millions, and bids higher than anyone else, however he wants to move the team which is against the NHL's interest. Option B: Selling to a lesser bidder who wants to keep the team in the same struggling poor hockey market, who is a fraud. BTW you would think before selling a franchise to a guy the league would do a little dirty work, you know look into the guy as opposed to just sell to him because he will keep the team local, or worst case scenario it ends up in KC!! Another hot bed for hockey!!!

    Who gets their name on the cup this season?

    J-Ho won't but when considering his numbers it is not starts, it is games on the roster, which I think still only gets him to 15 or so.

    Dedications

    For every last one of us that kept hope alive believed in this team and were called everything from homers to unrealistic!!! This one is for us!!! For all of the players, especially the guys without a cup before, who played their asses off all season! To the future, which looks very very bright!!

    Brendan Shanahan

    I think Shanny is in his NY apartment having a beer in honor of his former team and teammates, does he wish he was hoisting it, of course but I bet this a close second for him!

    Sundin may test free agency; wants big money

    I would rather have Malone or Rolston! This team does not need another center, nor do they need to get older (I know Rolston is no spring chicken). Malone is still (even more so after the SCF) my top UFA, well after Stuart, got to sign your own first!!

    Unsung hero of the season

    Harold, You do know how you put up those numbers and go unnoticed, you just haven't thought it through! When the guy on the other side of the rink is the best player in the world, you are going to be in his shadow. Ralf did a great job and should be commended for his great play on both ends of the ice, he and Lids did a great job on the Pens big guys!

    I don't think Ch4 realized what they were doing with those two clowns (meant with endearment!) together!! The digs at the Refs and the NHL were priceless!

    Stevie Y, Still a Class Act

    What I find most impressive is that a good chunk of the players down there he is very good friends with. I am sure as a friend had he just been Stevie Y the hockey player (not the Red Wing Legend) he would have been one of the first people with his arms wrapped around Lids, Ozzie, Draper, Maltby, D-mac, Dats, but knowing he would over shadow he stayed back in the shadows and allowed these guys to have their moment. Would it have impacted any of them if he were there, probably not, but the chance that him being their would spoil even one iota of the moment is what kept him in the background as some of his best friends celebrated. It had to be hard to have restraint to not go rushing down out of happiness and joy, he stopped and thought about others first. Seems pretty typical Stevie Y s*** to me, but is not typical at all!

    Unsung hero of the season

    Mule Ralf Flip Lebda (Played some very good d when Cheli and Lils were not dependable) Huds Kronwall Stuart (These two were a great pairing, way better than I expected) Maltby (I thought his best days were past him, he was a pest and a very good defensive player) Helm (Well actually the whole fourth line) Drake This was truly a team victory everyone played their asses off and it showed! Edit to waterfordwinger: I was going to put Draper on this list, but to me he isn't unsung, without a doubt to me Cleary and Draper are two of the main reasons this team won. The defense they played and Drake was unreal!
