OMG OMG OMG OMG... Sidney Crosby was on my flight back to Pittsburgh!!
I GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH!! *dies* Oh... and is anyone else pissed that Quick didn't win the Vezina? |

I've heard more talk about the Slovenian player than I have the Canadians.  |

It was funny, during the parade the local news people were identifying all the American players and talking about them for a bit, then wondering what Gretzky's reaction to the win was, and one was so fucking clueless that she was counting the players on each bus since she clearly didn't know who they were.
Downside to Kings winning, all their merchandising went up in cost. |

Originally posted by KatanaThe majority of the Kings are Canadian, anyway! Congrats to them, they basically just kicked all sorts of ass throughout the whole playoffs. |

This is what happens when you allow the aggression to show in the game I guess? |

With how much the Lakers win things and I don't give a shit, it's so nice to finally feel some local pride for a team outside of baseball.
Plus, outside of a few fist fights, the hockey fans were, ironically, MUCH BETTER behaved after the win. Were this a Lakers championship, police cars would be flipped over and burning and all the local businesses would be looted with most of the stuff dumped in the street and burned. |

I DO respect Brodeur, a lot. He's the only reason to be sad about anything. But otherwise, VERY excited. Hextall was/is my idol. So, this is a close second to the Flyers winning the Cup. I would have loved to see the Flyers and the Kings face off. I still think the Kings would have won. They're a better team than the Flyers. Shit, so are the Devils. It was embarrassing, the way we lost, and it shouldn't have been THAT easy for the Devils, but I think it would have been close, and I wouldn't have been surprised. Bummed out, yes, and MUCH less excited, yes, but not surprised if we had still lost. I'm really happy for the Kings though. Aside from them being the "Flyers West" apparently, they worked very hard. They all do, but there was just something special about them. Better than a Canadian team winning...**Eyes someone specifically** Hahahaha. |

KINGS WIN THE CUP! Holy fucking shit, I never thought I'd see the day! But yeah, I am insanely happy right now. And Quick got MVP, which he SO deserves!
Maybe I can see the parade while I am there? |

Ahem...
SQUEEEEEE!!!!! Kings are going to the Finals! I almost wish I was still in California so I could go see it... assuming I could afford tickets. |
| Elara Posts: 7799/9736 |
But Ovechkin is a show-boater!
I am only rooting for the Capitals long enough for them to take the Rangers out, then it's Go Devils. Kings vs Devils.. oh yeah! And yeah, the Flyers did in round two what the Penguins did in round one... it's like they just stopped trying and it was so frustrating to watch. |
| Katana Posts: 3399/3649 |
I'm okay with the Caps. Not gonna lie. But yeah, they played like shit the whole series with Jersey, I think. I love the Flyers, and I'm not forsaking my fandom by any means, but there's a line between looking WAY too dumb defending certain things and looking like a loyal fan. And defending what I saw of the Flyers in series 2 is dumb.
Besides, I like the sport for the sake of the actual sport, so I don't only support my home team. If you're playing good games, I'm interested, like the Kings. And I like Ovechkin. |
| 天国JOE Posts: 2989/2999 |
Go Caps all the way to the Final and go Kings. Kings are looking pretty strong, wasting Vancouver and St. Louis. FIRST CUP?!?!?
Also, yeah Kat, I came out because I was kinda expecting Philly to beat New Jersey or actually make it interesting. The absolute giving up that seemed to go on in the third was bizarre. That and I was testing to see if I'd get a rile out of you, good to there wasn't anything. |
| Katana Posts: 3396/3649 |
Oh sure, when the Flyers are gone, NOW you come outta nowhere. :p
I was so upset. LOTS of yelling and cursing and throwing shit in my house. And I was home alone. :p I will admit, I enjoy Marty Brodeur, and get chastised to hell for it. What went on on Facebook was nothing. When I say that shit in person, I get slugged like crazy on top of the verbal beat down. :p But as far as that one offsides goal in the Pens round, yeah, shit happens. But honestly, with the Penguins, I mind it a little less. I don't think players should go and do that shit on purpose, no matter what, but the Penguins play just as dirty as the Flyers. When they're dethroned as America's Sweethearts (which I think if the Kings take the cup this year there's a good shot of them getting a lot more press over here, and not just the usual 'cup champion' shenanigans.) people will see that a lot more. I want the Rangers gone too. Honestly, at this point, I just want the Kings to win the cup. I kid and say it's because Ron Hextall is their GM (I modeled my childhood hockey 'career' after that man) and they have Carter and Richards (Although Richards was like the Second Coming in my eyes.). Not gonna lie, those are the things that made me pay more attention to the Kings, but once I did, I dunno. Good stuff, in my opinion. I can't wait until next season though. I haven't followed hockey the past few seasons as much as I have in the past. I seriously didn't know who was the best and who wasn't, by the end of the season. I watched whatever games I could over the past few years, but that was it. But now I have a boss who sent me to two hockey games this season, and is all "Yo, I have season tickets. I can't make a lot of the games though, so you can go instead." and I'm all "Fuck yeah!" |
| Elara Posts: 7798/9736 |
I see I am not the only one that wants the Rangers gone?
Oh yes, and while you might not agree with the King-centric part of this (though Bob Miller actually is a good announcer), please feel free to send in the first part of this because change so needs to happen. http://lakingsnews.com/2012/05/09/an-appeal-to-nbc-sports-network-for-excellence/ |

Philly iiisss outta there! In like the most lackluster fashion ever, haha. I only managed to catch the last period and it was basically New Jersey just coasting around and the Flyers, both fans and players, looking like they just wanted to go home. As if a 2 goal lead was a 10 goal lead. Crazy! First goal was apparently a bad offside call...I heard Philly got a similar goal against Pittsburgh...karma much? Either way, yay Devs, all that's left is Washington to win it in Game 7! Wowza babowza |
| Elara Posts: 7791/9736 |
KINGS SWEEP!!!! Booyah, mother fucka!
And it was home ice, that had to feel good. |
| Elara Posts: 7789/9736 |
Tee hee hee hee!
And Kings are poised to sweep again! Let's hope they succeed this time, since I don't really like the Blues at all. And with Phoenix a game away from taking out Nashville... awesomeness! |
| Katana Posts: 3394/3649 |
Fuck. |

I can't STAND those NBC jack-offs. And I LOVE Brodeur. When we're not playing them, I'm all about watching him and getting all excited at his awesomefucktastic saves.
But uh...still happier about the outcome. I just hope that no one jumps on the whole "Briere kicked the puck in the net." It was an accident. Briere should be a marksman. If he weren't a hockey player, he would be a FANTASTIC marksman. He doesn't need to kick a puck into the net to be "good" and of all the players we have, he'd be the least likely to pull a stunt like that on purpose. On the replay, even he hesitated like "Uh...I'm not sure if that's going to count..."So were the rest of the Flyers actually. **shrugs** Game was kinda boring in comparison the Pens series. And they were the favorite not just for the series, but for the Cup, so....yeah. Crazy shit happens. Hence why I'm not going to get cocky about the Cup from here on out. Shit's getting real, and Jersey makes me nervous. :p |
| Elara Posts: 7781/9736 |
What the fuck, Jersey? Do you expect Brodeur to carry you through round two?
Also, omg I hate having to watch this on NBC... they are such MORONS!!! |
