LORD STANLEY'S CUP.

I don’t know Feynn, I was just trying to keep this a PIT thread by throwing some vitriol into the mix. Everybody’s kind of…being nice.

And due to my nature, I can’t REALLY say anything bad about a team who’s goalie is called “the Dominator” grwooowwwl

jarbaby

Get me a Big Rock Traditional and I’ll hop on any teams bandwagon (once the Stars are offically toast).

And how can you go wrong with a team that features Satan on the roster? That gets my vote for the best name in professional sports. Clear, concise, gets the message across … hey kids, it’s SATAN! Buy your replica jerseys now.

Hmmm, I don’t have anything very pit-worthy to say. After last night, I’m feeling very Care Bare-ish toward the entire team, even James Patrick’s Ass.

Right, and let’s quit beating around the bush, calling him SaTAN. It’s SATAN people. Face it. THE DARK LORD OF HELL is playing for the Sabres.

jarbaby

Makes sense. After all, the Sabres had to have sold their soul to SOMEBODY to pull of those last two wins. But worry not, the Penguins are gonna go Dr. Faust on their asses in the next two. You just wait.

Ahem…just wanted to say the following…SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK IT Brett Mother Trucking Whinny Selfish Little Hoser Hull!!! Blues sweep, blues sweep, god damn that never gets old!

P.S. Anyone see the Domi hit on Niedermeyer? Absolutely the dirtiest hit i’ve seen in a while(aside from the Macsourly(sp?) incidident). It geniunely made me fill sick to my stomach, thank god Scott wasn’t seriously injured(he did get off the stretcher and walk to the trainer’s room). God i Domi doesn’t get back on the ice in this playoffs, but then again one could arguee that the best punishment would be to let him play and face the wrath that is…Scott Stevens.

Leafs win three to one
Fucking Tie Domi cheap shot
Turns joy to disgust

Scott Stevens rages
His eyes glow red with fury
A frightful portent

Yeah, yeah, I know…cheesy. What can I say? I’m on painkillers right now. [Homer]Mmmmmmmmmm…Demerol…[/Homer]

I wish I could agree, but I don’t. Historically, the Pens can climb out of just about any playoff hole (they could probably come back from 0-3, at least against the Caps), but when they blow a lead they fall apart. I now expect the Sabres to win this series. I hope I’m wrong, but this looks like last year to me–different opponent, same old shit.

On the bright side, I expect St. Louis to help the Avs continue their tradition of flopping in the Conference Finals.

I must interrupt this regularly scheduled post game show to bring you this important message especially since there are so many Canucks kicking around this place…

TEAM CANADA rocks. They simply fucking rock! 3 wins and no losses puts them at the top of the heap.

Just today they made the Swiss team their personal bitches.

MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Our next victims should be Norway, after that we face that hockey superpower, Italy.

Now we return you to out regularly sheduled programming.

What the fuck is up with Domi? How fucking stupid does someone have to be to get a suspension in the closing seconds of a game that you have already won???

What a fucking idiot.

Neidermayer won’t be back for Saturday’s game as he suffered a concussion from Domi’s cheap shot.

GO TEAM CANADA!

Goddamn Pens.

How in the hell did they blow a two game lead?

Oh, that’s right. Jagr came down with vaginaitis. The rest of the team started playing like the hockey team from Sister Rosalie’s School of Sewing.

Breaks my heart. I was kinda looking forward to the victory parade this year.

Could someone pleeeeease get Jagr some Vagisil? Or a heart transplant, maybe? I want another Cup.

Game 5 was a perfect metaphor for the series as a whole–the Pens go up 2-0, then choke and lose it in overtime 3-2. Like I said before–different opponent, but same old shit.

I think we as Pens fans got caught up in the exitement of Mario returning, and forgot that even with him the Pens have always flopped in the playoffs–usually against teams they should have beaten. The only exceptions to this were in '91 and '92…and it’s worth wondering whether the vital ingredient those years was really Mario, or whether it was really someone like Bryan Trottier. It’s not always measurable by goals and points.

If I were a betting man I would be putting down some coin on the Leafs and the Sabres, and maybe even on that longshot known as the Los Angeles Kings.

The Leafs almost blew it the other night after going up 2-0 but they managed to pull one out of the hat. The Pens also had a 2-0 lead against the Sabres but couldn’t hold it. They face elimination on Monday night whereas the Leafs could burn the Devils. The Air Canada Centre might not be able to handle the stress if 17,000 fans get to see their team beat Jersey. If Toronto goes on to win the Cup we won’t be able to live with those folks who already think that TO is the centre of the universe… :slight_smile:

I am going to be tuning in to see the Kings / Avs tonight. I have this thing for the underdog and the Kings seem to be on quite a roll. Potvin has been playing outstanding hockey, even more amazing when you consider who’s shots he’s been stopping. He will probably have to contend with the return of Sakic tonight so we’ll have to see what this does for the Avs.

Did anyone catch Coach’s corner on Saturday and hear Cherry’s defense of Domi? He made a good point in that other players have done far worse and suffered less punishment than Domi has. Neidermayer did have some payback coming to him, you can’t hit Domi in the face with your stick (repeatedly) and get away with it as he did earlier in the game. Refs didn’t call a thing there.

Domi will be appealing the decision. Can you imagine having to watch your team go on to win the Cup with you sitting out? That would be too extreme a punishment.

Anyone see the little blurb on sportscenter this morning regarding Jagr? no mention of vaginitis Airman… :slight_smile: but they did say that he’s one of these players that’s a great player, but has a strange, selfish attitude and is argumentative and generally…well, bratty.

They suggested, (which may be a whole other thread subject) that players who have these bad attitudes may be the best in the world but will be passed over for the hall of fame because nobody likes them.

I thought of Airman the WHOLE TIME the report was on. When they showed him wearing that little barbie mask in the locker room…hahhaha vaginitis!

jarbaby

I’ve long thought of Jagr as a big whiner, but there’s little chance that he’ll get passed over for the Hall of Fame. IMO, his place is pretty much guarenteed. Unfortunately.

Also, you need to take into account that the HHOF allows just about everybody in.

<sigh> Well, it seems that tonight is the night. Do or die for the Pens, and I’ve got a really queasy feeling in my stomach.

I’m going to go pray in front of my Mario shrine now, and maybe stick a few more pins into my Jagr voodoo doll. Maybe that’ll get him off his ass…

Game 7 baby.

It’s on like Megatron. Game 7 in Buffalo!

I must admit, I didn’t think the Pens had it in them. Now we’ll see if losing the game like that lets all the air out of the Sabres.

Last night was proof once again that Super Mario is THE best player on the planet.

And it looks like Jagr finally got some FDS or something.

I’m savoring the sweet taste of victory today. If we lose on Thursday, however, I’m gonna explode.

And jarbaby, thanks for thinking about me the other day. I’ll be thinking about you when Mario and the boys hoist the Cup. :smiley:
