Oh, yeah, that is right (I had my years mixed up). He won the cup with the Ducks 3 years back? I think that is right. Edmonton the year before that?

I am PISSED! They just announced the 2011 Winter classic teams to be.... WSH vs. PIT. WTF?! There are 30 fucking teams in this league and the best you can come up with is the Pens (for the second time) against Washington, because since they didn't meet in the playoffs the league wants to cram this "rivalry" down our throats? I call shenanigans.
Yeah...but at least Canada is getting one! Personally, I'd love to see one in the open air in the ACC, Habs at Toronto...imagine that spectacle!

That was one hell of a game. And a testament to how deep Chicago is and how much heart and drive the Flyers have. That was a Stanley Cup game at it's finest.
Go Hawks!!
Nah, not "at its finest". Close, though. Wait till these teams know more about each other. Admittedly, I was expecting Philly to win, but Chicago proved why they are the better team, IMO. And if these goalie problems continue on both ends….

So far, this game has been Stanley Cup hockey at it's finest. I can't remember the last time I watched the Hawks throw their bodies around like this and instigate so much. Fortunately, their keeping their composure pretty well, per routine.
In other news, Chris Pronger is still an asshole.
Chris Pronger is also still one of the top 5 defensemen in the NHL.

That has little to do with being an asshole. But you're right, he's spectacular.
I thought his talk with the media the other day was hilarious. And I think I know why he went for the game pucks, too.

LOL, Pronger maybe an asshole, but he is still a great D man...look at the job he is doing on Toews, Byfuglien and Kane. And LC, I like your link...McGuire does suck. I notice Glen Healey in the bench box with him...is he on TSN...is he better than McGuire?
Healy is on CBC, and he's much better. He's tapped into the PA, so he knows al ot of the players and what's going on there. Sometimes he says something stupid but he's no McGuire.

Yeah, that post game interview was pretty funny, I will admit that. I liked what Eager said more, however, in response to the puck issue that netted the two of them misconduct penalties.

I also find Emmerick rather fucking annoying too.

If Pronger is on your team, he's awesome- otherwise he's a jerk. I think he's great!! Love watching him play. But, good on the Hawks!!

I think Philly will win this one tonight..they could have one either game. If Leighton would have played a little better in game one..this series would be 1-1.
Yeah, but if Niemi had played better then….well, it wasn't Leighton's fault. I do think Philly will win one at home, then the Hawks close them out in Chitown.
