Thank you Matt! You run a terrific site here. It's a pleasure to visit every time.

Uhh, I just did. Did you miss the part where I said that I didn't think it was intentional and that it's nothing to lose sleep over? And you're right, it doesn't change the fact that the Wings lost, and the Pens won. What I don't get is if the complaining bothers you so much, why you're still even in this thread?

They call him one b/c he's proven that he is one. This is a moot point now. However, thanks for that link, I finally got to see what everyone has been making noise about. Interesting that it looks like the Pens vets make it to the handshake line first, but Crosby is dead last. I don't think it was intentional either, but it still doesn't look good at any stretch. Even if he shook the hands of no-one else, he should have at least made every effort to shake the hand of the captain of the team he just beat, interview or no. Plenty a player have cut short an interview for much less, and it would have provided even more of the hero fodder for him that the media seems to crave. It's too bad really, but nothing to lose sleep over.

I was going to say something about that. Nicely done.

Wow, I didn't realize how old the Illitches were. At least most of the fans stuck around to see the cup. My God, I almost forgot about Mac. Congrats for him. Talk about bouncing back.

You know, it's kinda weird doing it on some other team's ice. I'm sure the real partying will wait until they're back in Motown.

Take that Don Cherry! Nicklas Lidstrom with the Cup. Beautiful sight. Way to go Dally!!!!!

Congrats Hank!!!!!! Nice for the fans to cheer for him. But what the heck are the other people saying?

Enjoy. But do it safe yeah?

CONGRATULATIONS Detroit Red Wings and all their fans!!!!! Man they like to cut it frickin' close. Way to go Lidstrom! First European born Captain ever! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

WOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

FOCUS!!!!! Get that puck outta there!

CLEAR THE ZONE GUYS. Take the hit, clear the zone!

YUP! Just what I suspected. Wings buckle down hard, these guys refuse to go away. Full effort required, no losing focus.

figures. Wouldn't be a SC08 Final without one more PP for the Pens.
