I always hated Shawn Michaels. He was a tool of a wrestler. Always a Hogan, Brett Hitman Heart and Taker fan. Glad Penguins lost in his visit lol.

Such a big fan you didn't spell the name right. At least you didn't say Bret Hard.

There were definitely things about his personality, especially in the late 90's that rubbed alot of people the wrong way. But if you want to see why he's one of the greatest of all time, just watch the main event of WM25 and you will get it.

Back to hockey ... so who does Sullivan put in net tonight? He put himself in quite the pickle.

I was surprised they went with Fleury in the last game. Murray has been great for them for the entire playoff run, he has one off game and he's benched before the biggest game of the year, in favor of a goalie that hasn't played in a full game in two months. I know there's still one more game to play if Pittsburgh wins, but tonight is basically Game 7. If the Bolts lose tonight, there's no way, they go back to Pittsburgh and win a THIRD time on the road in this series.

Murray. He got them there. Fleury sucks in the playoffs. I know the mindset is that you can't throw the kid back to the wolves after stripping him of his spot, but he still gives them the best shot to win.

I actually think Fleury has been good in the playoffs other than 2 years....which were dreadful. With them going back to Murray, I wonder what that does to Fleury's confidence? Game 5 of the conference finals was a tough spot to be starting your first game in a couple months, so perhaps they discussed this and whether they stuck with it or not wasn't a big deal as he needs to shake off the rust. On the Murray side, perhaps they thought he just needed a break as he never started that many games in a row before + high pressure games. I also don't think it was just 1 bad game, he wasn't great for a few in a row.

I think they are in trouble now...obviously being down 3-2, but it's never good to have a question mark in goal at this time of year. They'd probably argue the issue is deciding between 2 very capable goalies, which is probably true, but the whole mess they've made of it can't be a confidence booster.

I think what you mean to say is that fleury has ONLY been good in two playoffs. Other than that his numbers range from 2.40-4.63 gaa and .875-.915 sv%

he definitely put himself in a hard situation. on one half you have the vet whose been there before. on the other half you have a rookie who has played damn good besides one game.

i think he goes with fleury but if i were him id go with murray. he could come out with something to prove

regardless only team i want to win the cup is the blues

These offside challenges are a joke. Completely sucked the excitement out of the game not even 5 minutes in.

The joke is how many the refs miss in real time. Makes you wonder how many playoff games have been decided in the past by blown offsides call.

No doubt one of the mot acrobatic wrestlers of the era. But the WM25 Michaels vs Undertaker fight made Taker (my favorite wrestler of all time) 17-0 ;)

That was a hell of an fight though.
