GDT Stanley Cup Finals - Game 6

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

This is the quietest my dad has ever been during a sporting match. I mean, even when the Hawks scored he just sat there, staring at the TV. I think he's afraid if he talks, the Flyers will score 6 unanswered goals or something.

Awwwww. Don't let him lose faith.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Is that his claim to fame in this series?

Not good enough. He's their best forward, and he's been invisible on the scoresheet.

Maybe Leino should be captain based on how hard and how clutch he's playing right now.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Oooh, 20 more minutes. Come on, my dad's earned this one.

Awwwww. Don't let him lose faith.

Oh he's not.....he's just extremely nervous. I told him I've been there before with the Red Wings and it feels like your stomach is doing constant loop de loops and you feel like you're going to puke......but you're still glad it's happening because it means your team is there, not golfing.

So he's fine. Nervous, but fine.

Wo ein W(V)ille ist, ist auch ein Weg...

[GoWings1905 2,694]

I will have to turn it off like last season at the end if Chicago wins. I can't watch the Blackhawks skate around with the Stanley Cup. 49 more years would be just fine with me.

Anaheim, Pittsburgh, maybe Chicago now. Why can't a neutral team win the cup if it isn't the Red Wings?

That's a great feeling feeling being that nervous! We've been there 4 times with the Wings!

If he really wants to experience Red Wing nerves, a triple OT is just what he needs for this game.

Because Gary Bettman is conspiring to always piss Red Wings fans off.

Ha.....he has to go to work in the morning after getting some amount of sleep. If it even goes into 1 OT, he's liable to pass out. LOL

Here we go.

[edicius 3,269]

And the 4rd is underway.

Oh mannn... We Wings fans are that much closer to not being able to say "1961" whenever arguing with Hawks fans and winning every time.

[edicius 3,269]

You know, if Chicago's going to win...I'd like to see Toews get the GWG. That means Philly needs to score again.

[freshy 181]

What was it that Philly gave us in exchange for their best offensive player? A bag of pucks?

I know. We'll have to resort to beating them over the head with division championships and sheer number of Cup wins instead...haha.

Seriously, I wish they wouldn't win. But it is cool that it's been some 40 years. Not since the Wings won in 97 has a win been so huge.

Ah, I remember being able to chant a year at an opposition team to shut them up whenever they started acting cocky. Those were the days.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

this is the only exciting game of the series so far

[Barrie 900]

Yea that ruined the "1918" chant at Yankee Stadium!

4 in 11.

GD! I dont know who to f'ing root for! I cannot stand Kane or Quinneville or the fans of Chicago, yet I am just realized all the ****** bags that play for Philly! Pronger I can handle on his own, but Pronger, Laperierre & Hartnell? Is there any way they can just cancel the finals this season?

edit: But I do like Ladd, but I dont think its enough to sway me.... ARGH!!!

[Barrie 900]

if Chicago wins tonight, I'm looking forward to hearing Bettman get boooed!

Good call on the bright side of things.

This is off topic, but how long is Ville's contract with the Flyers?

[edicius 3,269]

I'm just glad it's not Bettman's little baby boy.

Of course, watch him somehow win the Conn Smythe.

Yeah, it's a really scuzzy final all around. This year has really thrown the whole "defense wins championships" mantra out the window.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

The way the Flyers are playing, I don't think they're going to tie it.
