and the Flyers in 97...

Wow.

Looking back, I think the Avs swept the Panthers in 96 and the Devils swept the Wings in 95. Thats four years in a row of sweeps :eek: compare that to today and we haven't had a sweep in over a decade!

Jesus, are you sure? I feel like an idiot right now. Perhaps I didnt want hockey as much then when I was only 7-10 years old.

yeah, I double checked just now. Pretty crazy. I was positive I remembered a bunch of sweeps from back then but hockey and eating were the only two interests I had in those days. :p

You are likely a tad bit older then me though :p

Looking forward to seeing what the Philly crowd is like.

Yes, it will be fantastic

Will you be attending game 3, 4, or 6 during these finals?

In spirit my friend, in spirit.


lol

You don't live in Philly?

No, i have a lot of family up there (my dad's side) and that side pretty much got to me first when it came to sports.

Where do you live then

Ah, I see. So you're just a fan by association?

Yeah, I dont live anywheres near Montreal but it is the closest canadian team.

It's cool. I'm into the Avs and I've never been to Colorado. It's because when I started getting into hockey I liked Joe Sakic who was with Quebec which eventually moved to Colorado. So it's whatever. But, my number one is obviously San Jose, which is where I am from. I'm not sure how anyone can be born and raised in a city and not feel loyal to their team(s).

Thats why I dont care for the Mooseheads, I didnt grow up in the city and I love making fun of them.

Sidenote, I joined a 30 team salary cap fantasy league (still some openings if people are interested) and I ended up picking the Pens as my team as no other team that I like was left.

Now there is talk about each manager able to keep a franchise player for longer then all other players out of the team they have, so I have to choose between Malkin and Crosby.

I want Malkin, but know I should take Crosby,

ARGHHHHHH.

I know nothing about fantasy sports.

Take Crosby and then trade him

Anyway, my friends and I watched this movie "Frat Party Unrated" this weekend, it was top but that's besides the point, the important thing is that the main character had the glorious hair of Nicklas Backstrom but other than that looked exactly like Sidney Crosby.

Come on

I'll take the girl.

Noh dude she sucks

Even better!

She married Stefano because Backstrom/Crosby guy was late for the wedding

Tonight's game 3 should be entertaining.

Not going to watch the game tonight because I am going to see MONO in Washington, DC because that is where I am from so I root for their teams :shifty:

:n:

You have no idea what you are missing.

Thing is Assman, who do I trade Crosby for? In this league he would likely be far and away the best player , I just dont want him.

I would be inclined to select Malkin instead if his faceoffs weren't so bad.

and sadly PIM is a negative category, so I cant try for Getzlaf either.

Not really by association, more like family "tradition". My mom is from cleveland and she tried her best to get me to convert but philly is where imy teams are. My kid is going to love all philly teams bc he is in MY house so that's it lol. But seriously, I just love philly teams, no guilty by w/e

Dude, the commentators even know philly is where its at

innit

i like philly teams aswell.

For some reason over here the game is on both espn uk and espn america(you aren't charged seperately for each channel)?A baseball game was like that too recently.

Lets get it!

Cant wait til Toews scores the first goal and quiets this crowd.

Ya another dead crowd is what this series needs!

Crowd is definitely in it

Watching this while fucked is great.

You guys will be crying in your cheesestakes tonight.

1-0!

KYESSSSSS

This finals is the truth. They can't even go into the lockeroom

I love cheesesteaks. Dude, Pronger is such a fuckhead but I'm enjoying these finals.
