Guest Lidstromboli Report post Posted May 26, 2010 I really hope he tears it up in the Final because Lord knows even if he does win it, people on here will continue to say how he didn't earn it. I hope he gets handed the Cup first. That's what would have happened last year. why would Lidstrom hand the cup to Hossa first? 1 Ram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 The 2nd guy to get the Cup hasn't really mattered since Vladi got it back in 98. So in short... Who cares if Toews hands it to Hossa 2nd? Maybe just maybe he will give it to Brent Sopel. Doesn't matter imo and people wanting that are just dying for something to cheer for in this finals. That said Go Flyers! Mike Richards is a beast.

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Kane will probably throw a hissy fit if he gets shortchanged, and doesn't get the cup second. I can see Campbell, Kane, Keith, or Hossa getting handed the cup from Toews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmubronco420 25 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Im definately not a hossa hater, i loved him when he was with the wings and didnt have any hard feelings when he left. But come on, when in any sport, has a player made the finals 3 straight years, with three different teams, and lost each time? I'll be rooting for the Flyers, not only to see this happen, but because i really just hate the hawks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut40 176 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 But come on, when in any sport, has a player made the finals 3 straight years, with three different teams, and lost each time? That's exactly why I'm rooting for him. If that was you, how heart breaking would it be to come so close so many times and fail? I get upset when my card is picked 2nd in apples to apples. I can't imagine how heart breaking it would be for it to be something you've chased your whole life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Don't exactly know why there's such a difference between the way he produces in the regular season and playoffs. Does he need to learn to play with more pressure / less space or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does he need to learn to play with more pressure / less space or what? They had a quote from him how he was frustrated he wasn't scoring so he's been working on his defensive end more I guess. And he's always been a great backchecker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stu in Israel 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 I know alot of people still like hossa, but I'm still feeling sour about him leaving. I would be pretty happy if he lost again, but thats just me Grammar correction: "Feel" is a Stative Verb and cannot be used in the Continuous/Progressive Tense, so maybe you still feel sour about him leaving! His departure was a mutual decision. Due to salary cap constraints his stay on the Wings might have necessitated dropping two or even three players! Oh, and "alot" is two words: a lot However I'll be rooting for Philadelphia too, because: 1) They've never won a Stanley Cup before; and 2) Their comeback after being 0-3 in the first round, deserves being the Cup winner.

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 This morning TSN did a story on Hossa. Two things gleaned from it: 1) They used a term I had never heard before: "top nine". I think they were being polite instead of saying "bottom six" and 2) During the locker room interview with him, as he sat in front of his stall, on the right side of the screen his cup and jock were hanging. Before you ask...Jofa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
