    Where can you find the locker room hat?

    Hmmm... I wonder if the Dunham's locations on this side of the state will be getting any today or tomorrow?!?!?!

    Your most memorable 2008 Playoff moment?

    For me the "moment" was being able to go to Game 2 of the Finals!!!

    We always bag on the refs, so.....

    I agree... when it really counted, they got it right!!!

    Who retires?

    I think Drake is most likely to retire and Chelios the least. I'm conflicted about Hasek. He gave us some hellava good games this season and the Dom/Ozzie show worked great in the regular season. I think that unless Hasek pulls a "Legace" and demands to be #1, he'd be offered another round with the Wings.

    Lockeroom humor

    I loved Ozzie saying on the ice that he was going to smack Hudler when they got back into the locker room!!!

    Letting go of the bitterness

    None of that matters now... We won! End of story! Screw 'em all. We got the Cup.

    From a Penguins Fan

    Me too!! I checked my rate at the buzzer and it was 122 bpm (resting is 70). After spotting us two games, the Pens got very scary. The last 4 games were one goal affairs. You guys held up well in the end.

    OffSeason

    If I hadn't seen similarly minded threads here in the past, posted in all seriousness, then I'd understand your dismay. But yes, if it was in jest then it was funny.

    OffSeason

    A "winky" would have been a good thing to drop in....

    OffSeason

    Geeez.... Give it at least 24 hours before the armchair GM'ing starts!!!

    Getting a little nervous, Detroit fans?

    Well, it looked like the Baby Pens being up past their bedtimes in Game 5 caught up with them.... and they said it would be the old guys that would be impacted!!! Well, at least the Pen trolls can now crawl back under their rocks!

    Nice touch... It might be worth people throwing in their personal favorites. Here's mine (paraphrased): "Champions aren't made up of people that perform superhuman feats.... Champions are made by people consistently executing the fundamentals well, over and over." - Tony Dungy

    Interesting Tidbit About Darren McCarty's Return

    I believe McGuire said between the benches after Game 4 that McCarty was being quite the cheerleader from the bench and frequently shouting out encouragements to the players on the ice like "Take it to them, boys!!!"

    One Game Away!

    I think there's a good chance that my family will be picking up pieces of me all over the living room!!!

    One Game Away!

    Here's pretty much how I felt as the clock ticked to 00:00 in the 3rd tonight:

    Why the puck sucked tonight

    Agreed... it was purely computer generated after the fact. Otherwise they would have shown it live during the game.

    One Game Away!

    Wooooooooo! Woooooooo! Wooooooooo! (Thanks, I needed that!) I was so nervous after Happy's goal I couldn't watch the game until there was 2 mintues left. It was killing me! I had to leave the room and do some work to take my mind off of the game and listen and hope I didn't hear a distant horn sound with lots of crowd noise.

    Okay, I'm officially sick of it

    Hey, I think the national media might actually be noticing the Red Wings finally! I picked up the latest issue of Sports Illustrated to look for the latest multi-page Crosby/Pens article (with an small Wings side-bar article thrown in) like they've had in the two previous issues.... and lo and behold there was a nice big article with lots of pictures of guys in red jerseys entitled "Control Freaks"! I had to do a double-take!

    Helm on the the roster for 2008-09?

    I've been real impressed on the way he's handled himself in the Finals. Skating, hitting, shooting... he's a package deal.

    Holmstrom a late scratch for Game 4

    It was funny in the post-game presser when someone asked Babcock about the scratch. He said he found out when he noticed Homer wasn't on the ice for the pre-game warm-up and he asked someone (trainer?) "Where's Tommy?" and he was told "He's not coming!". Holmstrom decided his hamstring was too stiff.

    NBC's Powerplay Angle From The Blueline Is Horrible

    Ditto... The angle is so wide, you can't see what's going on!
  23. The 2 for $30 store I mentioned above had the Franzen and at least one other player in white.
  24. I was at our mall last night and even the pricier places like Footlocker and other sports apparel places were selling WCC stuff. One of them had nice heavy-weight RBK "jersey" T-shirts of several Wings players (Lids, Z, Dats, Franzen, Draper, and Homer) 2 for $30. Arm and leg. It's about the same as buying from NHL.com
  25. JC Penny's actually also has a decent selection. For example, they have the real RBK practice jerseys there for $60. Cheapest place I've ever seen them.
