It’s approximately 7:05PM. Devils versus the Ducks.
All I can say is that “The Cup is in the building.” 
Tripler
Go Devils!
Wasn’t it in the building for Games 6 and 7 a few years ago?
3 to 1 Ducks at the end of the first.
Although I have to question one thing: I can’t be the only Doper watching the Stanley Cup Finals. . .
Tripler
Go Devils!
I ain’t watching. Braves game is on. It takes a lot to get me to watch something else.
Got it on now. But you’re wrong; it’s 3-0, not 3-1.
Wow. That was pretty wild seeing Paul Kariya “come back to life” after that hit!
He comes back to life! He scores!
Well, I’m glad he’s okay. But ouch, that score hurt. Just like Sykora’s right now (:eek: , 5 to 1).
5-2 now…
Kariya, definitely one of the most fragile players in hockey history…
Oh God dammit.
Now the series is tied 3 - 3. Shoot.
Tripler
Go Devils.
That’s the bad news, the good news is there’s a game 7! Wouldn’t have expected to enjoy this series as much as I have… Keep the faith Tripler, Don Cherry says the Devils take it at home and he hasn’t been wrong yet. The Cup’s definitely in the building now!
SIGH.
Well, this is just the cherry on top of my sports sundae. First, standing for 7 hours at Belmont racetrack to see Funny Cide come in third. Cold, wet and broke.
No Triple Crown.
No Stanley Cup yet.
Unfortunately, it seems we’re taking things to New Jersey this Monday. The Ducks seem to have taken matters above and beyond my preferences.
I’ll drink either to celebrate or to forget. Either way, I’ll be watching the game . . .
Tripler
GO DEVILS!!!
I think everyone was talking about how today was supposed to be this great New York sports day. With the Devils winning the Cup, Funny Cide winning the Triple Crown and Roger getting his 300th.
Well, 0-3.
Good. And the Ducks clamp down in Game 7 and win 2-1 in overtime.
And Acevedo doesn’t leave his room in Chicago and never returns to New York for fear of retribution.
somewhere Mike Piazza laughs till his groin hurts
The Mets getting rained out for the second time in 5 days amounts to more lost revenue (less for $alaries next year).
The Devil’s are more New York than Roger Clemens ever will be. I don’t want to see the Mighty Ducks win The Cup, yet I hope St. Louis clobbers ‘rocket’ next Friday.
How can you not want the Ducks to win the Cup? I, personally, can’t wait until it is defiled forever with a team owned by Disney named after a kid’s movie. I’m not kidding!
Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
Sweet.
It’s tantamount to having the Toledo Mud Hens win the World Series, eh?
Eric Lindros, hands down. Jaw of glass. Must be a Lindros family trait.
Kariya may be fragile, but he demonstrated what it means to be the captain of your team. This is the Stanley Cup Finals. Unless your life is in danger if you skate again, you have to get up from those hits. You never know when, or even if, you’ll be there again. You can’t pull a Dirk Nowitski in this situation.
Yeah, except all the times he doesn’t get back up. He sits out a week, a couple weeks. A tougher player wouldn’t need to do all that. Hence, fragility.
All you have to do is look at Kariya funny, and he crumples.
Nah. It’s more like having a team based in Canada win the World Series. Waitaminute…
I want Anaheim to win simply because they beat Detroit(my team) in the first round. Everyone was laughing, but this team has shown that it wasn’t a fluke to beat the Wings(and Stars, and Wild).
Lord Stanley would turn over in his grave if he knew a team in the Stanley cup finals was named after an Emilio Estevez movie.
